Full description

Learn about Amsterdam’s vibrant history on its historic waterways on a 1-hour canal cruise that takes in more than 100 highlights. Listen to the on-board commentary about the city’s emergence in the 13th century and the merchants of the Dutch East India Company that led to the so-called Golden Age. Experience Amsterdam and board the boat by Stromma Central Station or Stromma Rijksmuseum in the city center, and set sail from the IJ waterfront. See the city’s modern architecture as you cruise around the southernmost part of fashionable Amsterdam-Noord. The sights you see depend on the departure point and the boat route may vary. Sail past old warehouses, dockyards, and boatyards. Cruise under enchanting bridges from the past and present. Watch the centuries merge as you experience Amsterdam in its purest form, as a seaport. Along the way, you will pass many of Amsterdam’s most famous monuments, and discover why UNESCO declared the city’s canals a World Heritage Site.

The staff was super friendly, the ride was amazing. It was a pretty nice day so the boat driver opened the cabin for us. Only thing I can say wasn’t perfect was that the speakers sometimes weren’t loud enough, so when we went full throttle, it was hard to hear.

The boat trip was lovely, taking you through some of the prettiest areas of Amsterdam, and the commentary was very interesting and informative. It lasted around one hour and gave a good overview pf the city. Well worth going, I would highly recommend it. Something to note, the commentary in in English, so you don't need headphones unless you require a different language. If you do they have a supply of them for purchase at a low cost.

We liked the whole experience. The audio guide what spot on on the details. We would've liked the audio time to be better timed with the attractions, meaning it always started a little too early and by the time we arrived to each attraction, you had already forgot some details the audio guide mentioned. But, otherwise, the ride was very nice. Recommended!
