The night tour of Amsterdam by boat was truly spectacular. The guide on the boat gave a comprehensive explanation of the history and present of Amsterdam I would recommend using a microphone as the guide could not be heard very well at the back of the boat where we were seated. The boat was closed, not open as it said on the website where we booked the tour. I would definitely recommend a night tour.

The cruise was very chilled and fun. Drink and nibbles were aplenty and our guide - although limited in facts was good fun. Downside was it was only 45 mins and not an hour as stated.

The day I had a boat tour was the first day of Sail Amsterdam 2025 and it was very impressive. Our guide was charming and all the staff were excellent. It was a brilliant experience.

Glide through Amsterdam’s canals aboard an electric, heated luxury saloon boat for a cosy and eco-friendly 1-hour cruise.

Choose from two centrally located boarding points: Centraal Station or the Anne Frank House, based on your preference and itinerary.

Relax in elegant comfort as you take in the city’s highlights, free from the noise and fumes of traditional engines. Discounted tickets are available for children under 12 years.

Enjoy engaging commentary and local tips from your friendly skipper and host, making your cruise both informative and memorable.

Upgrade your experience with a glass of bubbles and a selection of delicious snacks—all served during this intimate 1-hour cruise.
