I was able to explore the city's significant sites while enjoying the Amsterdam Evening Canal Cruise. This 90-minute trip through the sparkling lights allowed me to see the romantic side of the city and illuminated buildings, bridges, and skyline creating a fairytale-like aspect. I received a glass of wine (my preference) and an English audio guide outlining the city's history and customs. It was a memorable experience only possible because of thrillophilia. Thanks to the team of thrillophilia for hassle-free booking and great deals!!
