Description
Unlike crowded canal boats, our small open boats allow you to soak in the fresh air and stunning canal-side views in total comfort. Due to the boats sizes; discover a new side to Amsterdam as you glide into hidden waterways where few tours go and that the bigger cruises simply cannot access.
Your private captain, and guide to the city, isn’t just steering the boat; they’re unveiling Amsterdam’s secrets, from its most famous landmarks to hidden gems that most visitors never discover.
Raise a glass as you pass under Amsterdam’s romantic bridges, while your skipper shares insider stories about life on the canals. Stay refreshed aboard our tour by purchasing a drink before the tour at our ticketshops where we offer a choice of beer, wine, water and soft drinks.
Pick the perfect departure point for your adventure: Damrak, or Rijksmuseum, both offering you a different perspective of the city. But don’t wait too long because seats are limited, and this is an experience you won’t want to miss. Book now and see why exploring Amsterdam by open boat is the city’s best-kept secret!
