6.City Canal Cruise and Heineken Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 3,133 reviews · 3 hours · from $44

Skip the lines for the Heineken Experience, then float Amsterdam’s Canal Belt for an hour with GPS audio in 19 languages.

“The Heineken experience was informative and I really enjoyed the tour guides presentations of it all and the interactive exhibits. The canal cruise was a bit cramped and underwhelming we couldn’t even plug the earphones in because there were two people hogging that side of the audio ports and wouldn’t move when asked.”
