Details

Embark on a cruise takes you through the unique UNESCO World Heritage-listed canal district of Amsterdam. Enjoy the opportunity to take in many of the historic sights of the city center.

With this tour you will go on a one-hour sightseeing boat trip through some of the centre’s famous landmarks, with audio commentary available in 19 different languages.

This canal cruise has four departure points for you to choose between. Your cruise will end wherever it started. The primary location is just outside Amsterdam Central Station, the other three are close to tourist hotspots in the city.

One is near the incredible Anne Frank House, where Anne Frank and her family hid and she wrote her famous diary. Another is on the water near Leidse Square (Leidseplein), where you'll find street performers, bars and restaurants, as well as local theatres and iconic concert venues. And the final location is near the Rijksmuseum, the national museum of the Netherlands.

Admire the elegant merchant houses that date back to the Dutch Golden Age. See stunning gables, beautiful churches, the iconic Magere Brug (Skinny Bridge), and many other top attractions. Each boat tour follows a different route, so not all sights are guaranteed to be seen every time. This way, every cruise offers a unique and surprising experience.

I really enjoyed the trip. We drove past typical sights like the Anna Frank House. It was really nice to see Amsterdam in this way.

They were very punctual and with the highway in Spanish we sailed through the three main canals of Amsterdam, seeing everything very comfortably from the boat and sheltering from the rain. Highly recommended

The canal tour itself was fine. We were a little annoyed that the audio guide and the captain explained things at the same time. You couldn't hear both at the same time. The audio guide didn't really fit the tour either. Sometimes things were explained that you didn't see at all because you had already passed by or they came much later than announced or we had to take a different route because of the heavy traffic. We can't recommend the tour in rain or drizzle. The windows had to stay closed and the drops made it pretty difficult to see out. Next time we would like to do a canal tour in good weather and in one of the older canal boats.

It was a very nice evening and an hour was more than enough. However, it was very tight and crowded.

Good value for money. The boats are filled quickly, with no breaks in between, no long waiting times. No one has to stay on the quay and be "devastated" (quote from another review). The audio guide was appropriate (GPS-oriented) and the instructions from our "captain" were useful.

Was a nice boat ride. However the audio part of the door wasnt aligned with where we were on the canals so got confusing and had already gone past some of the places before it had told us about it
