Ice bar is good fun. It’s smaller than expected but they put a decent show when you there to get you fired up. We spent 20 mins in there and that was enough for us. A few good photo ops, a really decent extra extra cold Beer and 2 super flavoured vodkas and we were happen to step out and have the next one in the cosy warm bar

The canal cruise was very good and informative. It was commented on in many languages via the new headphones provided (you could take them with you). The captain was very funny and also commented in English. Attention was paid to distance rules We had 1 hour of fun in great weather

Both activities were fab. We booked our date and time beforehand for the ice bar as you need to. The river cruise you can use any day or time so no need to worry about getting from one to the other as they are some distance away. We did them on different days. They are both experiences I would recommend you try. The canal cruise was interesting and you can learn a thing or two from the audio guide.
