Amsterdam Independent Sightseeing by Pedal Boat
An funny alternative to bicycle in Amsterdam
Pedal boat is a great experience to view Amsterdam in your own pace and also keep your teens busy with pedalling instead of sitting in the boat with their phones in hands:) You will have to upload the map to your phone (staff helps you to get it right) and have a bit of instructions. So, in 1 hour you have to complete the tour, but safety first - you’ll not be penalised if you do not make it in time (e.g., you were waiting for ships to pass by). Take some water to drink during the ride. Photos are marvelous and teens were very proud of themselves when they managed to drive it properly.
