Itinerary

  1. 1
    Emperor's Canal (Keizersgracht)

    We begin the cruise in the Royal Streets, on the Keizersgracht or Emperors Canal next to the Jordaan district, a beautiful unspoilt area of town at the north end of the canal district. You will board the boat and end the cruise outside the original hat factory of Amsterdam, 'Het Rode Hood' (The Red Hat)

  2. 2
    The Jordaan

    The first district we cruise through is always a favourite to explore by boat and by foot. A charming, relaxed area of town, just outside the centre and away from the hustle and bustle of the busy tourist traps.

  3. 3
    Anne Frank House

    Cruising South through the Jordaan district, we will pass Anne Frank House. If a visit to the museum is on your itinerary, Anne Frank House is just a five minute walk from the departure dock, but remember to book tickets in advance!

  4. 4
    Canal Ring (Grachtengordel)

    We continue the cruise around the Canal Belt or Canal Ring, through the picturesque waterways, passing the stunningly preserved 17th century canal houses, toward the River Amstel

  5. 5
    The Amstel

    At the end of the original canal belt, we arrive at the iconic Amstel River. The only natural river in the city of Amsterdam and where the city takes it's name. Here we see the beautiful Skinny Bridge and many famous landmarks.

  6. 6
    Herengracht

    Cruising back through the Herengracht or Gentlemans Canal, we see the biggest mansion houses of the city centre. This area is called the Golden Bend, where the most wealthy merchant families resided. Here you will see the fancy ornate facades, which often depict the trade of the merchant famlies.

Highly recommend this small group tour!!

Fantastic tour and guides! Our family (2 adults, 7 yo child) had the boat to ourselves on a brisk yet clear november day. The boat was covered and warm. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly and we learned a ton of history about Amsterdam. All while sipping champagne and eating apple pie. Would totally recommend this tour, especially after driving by the other tour boats with >30 people crammed into a small boat.

Lovely comfortable boat tour with friendly guide

We booked the 1 hour tour with a drink. The guide was very friendly and funny. The boat was beautiful, and due to a limited amount of people on the boat it was very comfortable to sit in unlike some other canal boats. There were a lot of drinks to choose from. Would definitely recommend!

Chilled, informative

Very friendly, laid back, and we were in the nicest 'tourist' boat I saw on the canals. Interesting historical insight mixed with contemporary facts about Amsterdam. I wanted to go round again. Kids enjoyed it, drinks provided and our skipper was an all round great host.

Relaxing introduction to Amsterdam

Our daughter recommended this tour and so glad we followed her advice. Attractive and very comfortable boat; welcoming host / Captain John who introduced himself and others (eight) in the small group of fellow travellers from four different countries; offered us an amazing selection of welcoming drinks; he was so knowledgeable about Amsterdam ( history graduate and a local); and ready to answer any questions. The whole experience was just like having a personal local friend to guide us around. Boat was so quiet - no smelly fumes as I think it has an electric motor? Best way to have a relaxing introductory tour of Amsterdam. We would certainly recommend to others - all ages!
