Canal Cruise in German with Unlimited Drinks

If you're looking for the most special and authentic experience of your Amsterdam trip, you came to the right spot! A canal cruise is the must-do, as you see the city from a unique and beautiful perspective: by boat. Even better: our boat cruises enable you to listen to all facts and stories in your mother language, German, so that you don't miss out on any information.

Details

Enjoy a full hour of unlimited drinks while you explore Amsterdams rich history, dive into its cultural characteristics and enjoy the engaging stories of your German guide on board. All our guides are native speakers and ready to answer any burning questions you may have about the city.

How did Amsterdam become one of the richest cities in history? What's the meaning of the xxx you see everywhere? How could coffeeshops become as popular as they are today?

Whether you are after rich historic facts or you prefer to just sit back, relax and explore some Dutch culture: our canal cruise combines the best of both worlds.

We don't believe in one size fits all. Our small boats ensure a cosy feeling on board and you get the chance to interact with the other passengers on board, as well as with your guide.

Pass 17th-century houses, picturesque bridges (including Amsterdams famous "Seven bridges"), the classic canals and several key sights that give you a great impression of Amsterdam’s vibe.

Of course, sustainability matters to us too! Therefore, all boats are equipped with an electric motor, which allows for a quiet and environmentally friendly journey.

Board your tour boat on the wooden pier in front of the Double Tree Hilton, right on the water. Looking right at the Chinese restaurant that looks like a swimming temple, walk down to the right (Western) side of the pier. You will probably already see other boats waiting there. Your guide will be wearing a red name tag around their neck. Please wait by the water.

The guide Justus is German and has lived in Amsterdam for 5 years. He can tell you a lot about the city's history and knows some good insider tips for restaurants.
