9.Amsterdam Wine and Cheese Guided Evening Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 236 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $42

Amsterdam wine and cheese cruise review with canal views, Golden Bend highlights, practical tips, value advice, and honest drawbacks.

“We were somewhat disappointed in the food portion of the evening. There were 4 of us and in addition to 4 pieces of cheese of each of 4 types of cheese, there were 3 grapes (not bunches - 3 grapes!) and 1 small roll each. Wine was good and ample. It was difficult to see sights because it was dark, and very little narration by driver/guide - mostly very loud 60's-70's rock & roll. We would recommend a daytime canal cruise.”
