Amsterdam: 1-Hour Sightseeing Canal Cruise on Electric Boat

On Saturday we took the canal cruise and it was very beautiful because it allowed us to see some parts of the city we hadn't visited yet and learn about the history of the place. Captain Eddy also knew how to add a touch of cheerfulness and fun. Today, on the other hand, we visited the museum dedicated to one of our favorite painters, Van Gogh. Many works are on display, and the audio guide allows you to appreciate the experience even more and immerse yourself in it. Highly recommended!

We went to Amsterdam for two days and decided to take this little cruise to explore this beautiful city. So I highly recommend this activity!

A Positive Experience with One Minor Point to Note We enjoyed the GVB Public Transportation Pass combo ticket, which included a 1-hour canal cruise with Lovers Canal Cruises. The GVB 3-day pass was also very easy to activate, and we were able to choose our own start time. The boat tour was beautiful and a fun way to explore Amsterdam from the water. An extra bonus was the captain, whose hilarious sense of humor created a cozy and relaxed atmosphere. Definitely recommended! One minor drawback was the communication regarding the canal cruise. We didn’t receive the email with the QR code for the boat tour until the day of the cruise. As far as we could tell, it wasn’t clearly stated anywhere that this would be sent only on the day of the tour. As a result, it remained unclear for a moment whether we would actually receive the QR code. The name of the boat company wasn’t mentioned until that same day either. But all in all, it was a very successful combination, with a beautiful boat tour and a particularly friendly captain. 👍

Ordering and paying were very easy. The documents arrived very quickly via email and were also available in the app. Using the day pass was very easy. The one-hour canal cruise was a lot of fun; we got to see parts of the city we wouldn’t have discovered otherwise. The boat guide was very informative and shared a lot of additional details. I’d do it again anytime.

The canal cruise was one of the highlights of the whole Amsterdam trip. The cruise was luxurious and the instructor was very good in telling all the details. The cruise was beautiful but was covered, just go for the open ones as clicking photos are earlier due to no reflection form the glass and also you can feel the cool breeze. One of the best experience one should try.

The audio guide was available in multiple languages, and it included free headphones even though that wasn't listed in the details. We were able to change the time at the office across from the ship because, after leaving the Anne Frank Museum, it worked out perfectly for us to take the tour at that time, and they didn't have any issues with it. We recommend it.
