    Loved the cruise and the personal guide, SO much better than the audio guides on other canal cruises. Only thing is that the first drink is most definately not included, it is "discounted" at €6.50 for a gin and tonic. Keep up the good work!

  • A journey through time: Amsterdam's historic canals

    Board the luxurious electric sloop as you explore Amsterdam's historic canals. Be greeted by an experienced skipper alongside a lovely hostess, who is ready to serve you a drink from the well-stocked onboard bar. Wrap yourself with warm blankets available for cooler evenings while the skipper weaves incredible tales about the city. Enjoy a unique view of the iconic Dancing Houses, also known as 'Dancing Ladies’, which seem to sway due to Amsterdam's unstable soil. Cruise through the captivating Red Light District and marvel at the monumental Old Church.
