On my first day in Amsterdam, I was so amazed by the city’s beauty as I took a boat tour to go all the way around and see all of its historic sites.

We enjoyed our evening cruise. We were able to catch the sunset and see some of the beautifully lit canals in the evening. Our boat driver provided some extra commentary which was great. Very fun! The boat was enclosed and warm, but you could open the windows to get some great photos. Would definitely recommend this boat ride.

It was King’s Day, but even so, the boat wasn’t too crowded; we were even able to board an earlier one than planned, and the commentary was in French, which made it very interesting for us and our granddaughters. It’s another way to explore Amsterdam. We really enjoyed it.

Very nice cruise, very cosy and comfortable inside with comfortable sitting and table for each group/family, everything to be seen was clearly in sight. 1 hour indeed. The only thing, we did not pass in front of Anna Frank house.

    Finding the boat was no problem. An hour on Amsterdam’s canals is plenty of time. It’s great to see Amsterdam from a different perspective and to get a unique view of certain sights. A guide is available on the boat in many languages. The translation is there and works, but personally I think it’s lacking. Between the points the narrator discusses, the captain adds interesting stories in English that I think should be included in the translation. Overall, it’s a nice tour that I would recommend.

    A nice tour through Amsterdam’s city center. The boat is comfortable and passes by several beautiful spots. You’ll definitely get to see plenty of the canal-side houses. One downside is that the audio guide with information and fun facts is entirely in American English, which makes all the Dutch names sound very strange and unclear.
  • Combine a guided Jewish Quarter walk with a 1-hour canal cruise for context, reflection, and efficient sightseeing.

    Getting started

    Meet your guide in the Jewish Quarter for a brief introduction and ticket check. After the walk, head to the pier near Centraal Station to board your canal cruise.
