"Can't wait to cruise Amsterdam's canals again. the museum building itself is a treasure, the treasures inside are eye-boggling! "A very enjoyable and informative canal tour. the Rijksmuseum is amazing to say the least!! Our group did the museum first then the canal tour, which worked well after all the walking. "the price of the ticket is worth the total experience. It\'s a great buy. Totally recommend.
