Learned so much about this beautiful city. Your Captain was pleasant and helpful. Boat was very clean and I would recommend it to anyone I know. It was all as advertised ! My girlfriend and I thank you for a nice time. We're not here long, but maybe we will try for one more time before we go back to the 🇺🇸 USA ! Thanks again !!

The staff could not have been more helpful both at the ticket booth and on board one of our party has a disability and they looked after her making it so easy for her to board and disembark the cruise itself was excellent

Get to see Amsterdam from a new perspective on this 75-min canal cruise with a multilingual audio guide, and the option to choose from four boarding points.

Sail through the city's most famous canals, such as the Prinsengracht and the Herengracht, and catch glimpses of moored iconic houseboats.

Cruise past Amsterdam's Golden Era architecture and sites like the Skinny Bridge – built in 1934 – and the Anne Frank Home, now a biographical museum.

This tour takes place on a fully-electric boat and an audio recording will give you interesting information in addition to the views.

Upgrade your tickets to enjoy a snack box as you cruise the UNESCO-listed canals of Amsterdam.

Fun fact: Amsterdam's canal ring is often called the 'Venice of the North' due to its 165 canals that stretch over 100 kilometers in total!
