What is the best Amsterdam hop on hop off tour?

My niece really likes tha bus-style sightseeing tour and was wondering if you have any recommendations for Amsterdam?

I have read there may be an option of touring with bus + boat. If you have any suggestions I will be very glad to hear them

Thank you in advance

Due to the narrow streets and large number of pedestrian areas, Amsterdam is best done with walking or boat tours.

For boat tours, there are the big boats that do OK, run a standard route, have a recorded commentary, not the absolute best tours, but OK for the price. There are also smaller tours, like Those Dam Boat Guys, that run small boats, the boatman shares stories and history, you can bring drinks or food with you. The tours are a bit more intimate, get places the big boats don't. You could go so far even as a private tour by boat with a number of companies.
