Hello River Cruisers: Should you wish to pack in more fun, more to see, these OPTIONAL tours are available for your purchase until 27 March 2017. I've included the prices here.

Arrival to Amsterdam is on Thursday, 30 March, and may be a recovery day for jet lag. But you'll have at least part of the day for being out and about; then Friday before or after you drop off your luggage at our ship IMPRESSION, you'll have time to explore.
Review the early post "Oh the Places We'll See" for the included itinerary before deciding on any optional tours.

- You may prefer to go on your own to the Heineken Tour after the canal cruise. It is one of the most visited sites in Amsterdam. Grant and I thought it was interesting, but most of my group from our 2012 trip thought this was the best tour ever! Free tastings included. We walked to the location.
