Overview

Why walk when you can float along in style? With this Amsterdam open boat cruise tour you can gain a unique perspective from the waterways that have helped to make this busy city so unique and full of character. From the boat you will have the best view of the picturesque capital. The captain will also act as your guide and has endless stories to tell about the places of interest in Amsterdam that you will pass by. Thanks to its shape, the small boat is not just easy to maneuver but also very cozy. Furthermore, because it operates on electricity, it is also sustainable.

Canal open boat cruise

Published on Sep, 2024

Amazing trip on the open boat with Ruud! Ruud was knowledgeable, friendly and fun and we had a great time with him as our boat Captain - thank you Ruud! Thanks for having us!

Canal Tour is a Must!

Published on May, 2024

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly! Really enjoyed the experience and can’t recommend this enough!

One of the top highlights of our week long trip to the Netherlands!

Published on May, 2024

Captain Erik was fun, knowledgeable, entertaining, and interactive. The food and drinks were the icing on top of a fantastic more intimate tour with beautiful views and information of the history of Amsterdam. He was also great at including my 10yr old daughter. I am so grateful to have had this experience especially after seeing how packed the other larger less expensive tours were! Thank you!

Really enjoyable

Published on Mar, 2024

The guide was excellent and kept us out of harms way on this Friday afternoon floating along the canals. We got great photos and we learned so much about Amsterdam. Once we got off, we kind of knew where everything was. We saw all the people on the big boats and we're happy to have this more intimate experience. It was comfortable and open air.

Leisurely way to see...

Leisurely way to see Amsterdam. Guide was very knowledgeable, and pointed out lots of interesting things along the way other than just the major sites. Highly recommended
