Sip Heineken and wine on an Amsterdam night canal cruise with New York style pizza and Cookie Dough chocolate chip ice cream.

“This was a very relaxing canal ride. If you are expecting to learn anything about the city it does not happen on this cruise. It’s just a ride through the canals. The pizza was good and so was the wine. Would recommend if just want something to eat and watch the sites.”

“We had a great day in Bruges. The city is amazing with its fairy like architecture. We did the horse drawn carriage ride; it was very fun and amazing experience. The canal boat ride was very enjoyable and soothing with the sunny weather and cool breeze. Finally we climbed 366 steps to reach the top of Belfort observation tower.

“This is a lovely old town centre, which has it all. Good stories, picturesque buildings, friendly people, and cafes. And since the old city is still contained by the mediaeval city walls, it is compact and easy to see the whole place in one round walk. It was part of the Hanseatic League of traders from around the 13th to the 15th centuries, and made a real success of it by what you can still see today.”
