Unfortunately, we couldn't see much from the open boat as we were sitting at the bow in the direction of travel and it was so high that visibility was very restricted. We haven't had this in the past on other open boats.

We booked the unlimited drink and cheese tour for a 6.30pm cruise. Our crew were excellent, attentive and very entertaining. Boat was comfortable and clean. We enjoyed our 1 hour cruise of the canals. Highly recommend this experience.

The skipper and bartender were great. The unpleasant experience was that priority was given to the people without tickets vs the ones who had purchased tickets online in advance, regardless of the fact that we arrived at the venue earlier . So we ended up getting the last of the seats which is not what we had signed up for.

Your experience

Spend an hour exploring the stunning UNESCO Heritage Site-listed canals of Amsterdam. Depart from your chosen location in an open boat that will carry you away from the city crowds. Originally built in 1910, history and character are replete in these 100% electric boats.

Cruise through the Jordaan, famous for its Prinsengracht - a 3.2-kilometer-long canal that is named after the Prince of Orange, and is the fourth of the four main canals in the canal belt. Continue onwards to the most romantic Magere Brug (it's called Skinny Bridge in English, but we can work on the Dutch pronunciation during the trip!), past the Amstel River, the Seven Bridges, the Golden Bend, the nine streets, and then back to the Anne Frank House. This is surely going to be the highlight of your Amsterdam trip - and you can make it a memorable experience by upgrading your tickets to include unlimited drinks and cheese, as you sail on a saloon boat.
