    Boat ride was good and icebar experience was okayish but definitely not worth the price. Would rather just do the canal ride. If you like to drink then the ice bar might be worth.

    We spent over a hundred dollars on this trip and were not allowed to even go on the canal tour. Viator stole our money and refused to issue us a refund. This is a scam. DO NOT BOOK THIS TRIP!

    , Dec 2019
    The IceBar needed attention and was not well maintained. It was definitely for a younger group although we had gone to IceBars in other countries that were fabulous. The cruise was underwhelming and a disappointment although it did give us an overview of the City of Amsterdam.

    Not really what I was expecting...
    Brittany_E
    , Nov 2019
    So I thought that the people checking tickets at the front at Icebar would have some idea that people have purchased tickets for both the Icebar and another activity (in my case, the canal cruise). So I was very confused how to transition from the Icebar to the cruise. My ticket was for 9:20pm so there weren't any canal rides at that time, but the tickets were still valid for another day, fair enough (although, this was my last full night in Amsterdam so I ended up not making the cruise). When you enter the Icebar, you are given 1 gold token and 2 silver tokens. The 1st gold one is for the main bar area and you have limited drinks to choose from. Then you go into the actual Icebar (both spaces are pretty small) where you can use the 2 silver tokens on shots, again limited choices. I would still recommend just for the experience, just look up the canal cruise times.

    , Jun 2019
    The ice bar was smaller than expected but very cool (quite literally) to be in. Drinks were tasty. The canal cruise departs from a location that is a 20 minute walk from the ice bar. Would’ve been helpful knowing times of the canal cruise as we missed the last one of the night, which leaves at 10pm.

    While The Ice Bar Was Fun...
    RobertM_G
    , Jun 2019
    This was booked because of the appearance that one might go directly from the Ice House experience (which was definitely a fun time) onto a canal boat for the second part of the deal. BUT, we were directed to take a metro train to then try to find the dock where the canal boat tour departed. We were a group of 10 and this was a huge hassle. Definitely NOT worth the money!!!

    The canal cruise was great, especially as the sun was shining. The tour gave lots of information. We were booked in at the Ice bar, but arrived early and as it was quitter, we went in an earlier session. the staff were all really friendly and enthusiastic. The drinks were great and we stayed for a while afterwards ordering a few extra drinks and people watching. It's a really good deal to buy these two attractions together

    , Jan 2019
    The ice bar is tiny and the coats and gloves are damp and dirty. The drinks were delicious and the staff were polite. the canal cruise was not great. The recorded tour is out of sync with where the boat is on the river, so it gets confusing when the recording is explaining a building you are nowhere near, and then when you get there it has moved on to the next bit of the tour. I would recommend a human guided tour! The boat was clean and comfortable.
