2.Private Luxury Cruise with BBQ and Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 30 reviews · 2 hours

Book a private two-hour Amsterdam canal cruise for up to 10 people, with a live-cooking BBQ, unlimited beer, wine, and soft drinks, plus an English-speaking local skipper. You’ll pass the Red Light District, Amstel River, Skinny Bridge, Seven Bridges viewpoint, and Anne Frank House.

“Me gusto mucho la atención que nos prestaron tanto la persona que nos preparo la barbacoa como nuestro capitán. La barbacoa fue excelente y la bebida todo lo que quisimos. Solo faltó decoración navideña en el barco y un poco de luz para ver lo que comíamos. Nuestro guía hizo todo lo posible con una linterna y nosotros con nuestros móviles. Unas velitas ambientales de plástico hubiesen arreglado el asunto y generado ambiente. Por lo demás perfecto y además el Pick up era al lado de nuestro hotel.”
