Itinerary

Prinsengracht (Pass By)
Our boats will cruise the Prinsengracht.
The Jordaan (Pass By)
The most common theory on the origin of the name is as a derivation of the French word Jardin, meaning garden: most streets and canals in the Jordaan are named after trees and flowers. Another theory is that the Prinsengracht canal was once nicknamed Jordaan (the Dutch name for the river Jordan) and that the neighborhood beyond the canal came to be called this as well. Our Flagship canal tour will start and end here in the Jordaan.
Houseboat Museum (Pass By)
Our boats will cruise along with the houseboat museum at the Prinsengracht.
9 Little Streets (Negen Straatjes) (Pass By)

The Amstel is the biggest canal of all, and Amsterdam was founded from this canal which was originally a river. Fisherman builds a "dam" and called is Amsterdam.
Blauwbrug (Pass By)
The Blauwbrug (English: Blue bridge) is a historic bridge in Amsterdam, the Netherlands over the river Amstel. It connects the Rembrandtplein area with the Waterlooplein area and lies south to the Stopera.
Herengracht (Pass By)
The three main canals (Herengracht, Prinsengracht, and Keizersgracht), dug in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, form concentric belts around the city, known as the Grachtengordel. Alongside the main canals are 1550 monumental buildings. The 17th-century canal ring area, including the Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht, and Jordaan, were listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010, contributing to Amsterdam's fame as the "Venice of the North".
Singel (Pass By)
The Singel is a canal in Amsterdam which encircled the city in the Middle Ages. It served as a moat around the city until 1585, when Amsterdam expanded beyond the Singel. The canal runs from the IJ bay, near the Central Station, to the Muntplein square, where it meets the Amstel river. It is now the inner-most canal in Amsterdam's semicircular ring of canals.
Magere Brug (Pass By)
One of Amsterdam’s many bridges is the beautiful Magere Brug, known to English speakers at the Skinny Bridge. This wooden drawbridge was once so narrow that it was hard for two pedestrians to pass each other. To cope with increasing traffic on the Amstel, a wider bridge replaced the narrow original in 1871.
Munt Tower (Munttoren) (Pass By)
The Munttoren (mint tower) was once part of the Regulierspoort which consisted of a gate with a tower on each side. It was built between 1480 and 1487 as part of the medieval city wall. Back in the 17th century, the tower was used to mint coins.
Bloemenmarkt (Pass By)
The Amsterdam Flower Market is the only floating flower market in the world, and one of the most fragrant places of interest of Amsterdam - in all seasons. This unique market exists since 1862. The flower stalls stand on the houseboats and evoke the old days when the market was daily supplied by boat.

Evening wine and cheese cruise
Published on Mar, 2025
Such an amazing experience! We went for the evening wine and local cheeses cruise - the stewards gave an incredibly insightful history of Amsterdam and the canals, pointing out cool landmarks throughout the cruise. A unmissable experience for your trip to Amsterdam. Thank you both !
Pleasant tour on the canals

We had a good experience on the boat. Lots of historical details, some great views, the wine and cheese were good too. Our hosts were friendly and easy to understand.
Fun and Entertaining Canal Cruise Experience
Published on Feb, 2025
This is the perfect way to experience Amsterdam by canal. The wine and cheese are a nice touch but the staff was absolutely entertaining in the most humorous way. It was a tag team comedy show that kept us rolling laughing the whole time with Matteo, Matteo and Michael. I probably got one of the names wrong but it was the three M’s. Lots of fun and many interesting facts were shared about the city, the canals and architecture. Highly recommend!
