The captain was great, telling lots of anecdotes in Dutch/English/German/French and Spanish. A great time It's a pity that the boat's windows didn't slide open to take photos.

On my second visit to Amsterdam I have made the tour of the canals aboard a boat of the company LOVERS, really very well, with audio guide in Spanish, with basic and curious information about the city, its beginnings and architecture. Very nice ride. Impressive the dimension of the tour boats with the small private boats of the locals who go out for a walk around. The drivers have an incredible skill! Very nice to see the houseboats throughout the tour, you pass really close to some of them. Thanks for such a nice ride

Nice to do on the first day to get the lay of the land :) After that it's very basic and nothing special about the boat itself. It's just a tourist trap ^^

Cruise along Amsterdam's iconic landmarks

The best way to take in Amsterdam is from the water, and this cruise enables you to do just that. Take in the Dutch Baroque architecture that spreads across the canal banks and feel the artistic expression radiate from this UNESCO World Heritage Site. On your cruise, you’ll cover not just the 17th-century Renaissance age; but also the modern-age 21st-century look of Amsterdam. From the Anne Frank House Museum, the historic Heritage Museum, the hallowed Westerkerk Church and the Skinny Bridge, this cruise covers it all. Board from any of these three points – Central Station, Anne Frank House, or Leidse Square. You can even choose to upgrade to a semi-open boat.

Sights you'll come across

  • Anne Frank House Museum

  • Red Light District

  • Old Heineken Factory
