Step aboard a smartly designed semi-open boat and begin your one-hour cruise through Amsterdam’s historic canal network. Enjoy unobstructed views of the city’s beauty—whether under a retractable roof on sunny days or a glass top in rainy weather, seamlessly adjusting so that the experience remains uninterrupted.

As you glide along Amsterdam’s waterways, your audio guide complements the scenery, offering stories of the canal ring’s 17th-century origins, architectural quirks, and the evolution of this UNESCO-listed gem.

Dietmar
Very hard-working tour guide or captain. Spoke a few words from time to time (apart from the audio system), unfortunately difficult to understand without a microphone. But the audio system worked perfectly

Humorous captain. On the boat you sit very close together. Info was poor, sometimes the same text came in different places. All in all ok, but I expected more.
