November 2011 Classic Amsterdam Boatride
Nicole Shalling from New York
We took the blue boat tour for the first time, though we have gone on cruises in this city before. I've been to Amsterdam once before but visited places like Brouwersgracht, Keizersgracht and Princengracht for the first time. We got close look at the Westerkerk and clicked some amazing hi-res snaps of the dusky skyline . The tour is for 70 minutes and wonderful during end of July.
