Overview

Mobile ticket
Welcome on Board our comfortable small boat and cruise through the real Old City Centre of Amsterdam, exploring narrow historic canals that larger tour boats cannot access. Discover the famous Red Light District and, depending on the route, you may also pass highlights such as the Anne Frank House and the picturesque Seven Bridges.
Relax while your local live guide shares fascinating stories and hidden gems as you sip on cold Heineken beer, wine and soft drinks, all included. During summer you'll usually cruise on one of our luxury open boats. In winter and during bad weather we operate comfortable covered boats with heated seating, allowing you to enjoy your canal cruise in every season.
Small group sizes, comfortable seating and an onboard toilet make this experience ideal for couples, families, friends and solo travellers looking for one of Amsterdam's most personal and authentic canal cruises.
We look forward to welcoming you on Board for an unforgettable Amsterdam canal cruise!

2.00Average! I thought it would be better, they hardly explained anything and were not very attentive. I believe there is a lot to improve, starting with punctuality.
