Stuart – United Kingdom

I booked this canal cruise as part of a 9 person stag trip from Scotland. I was booking a number of activities at the same time and I managed to overlook that this was a German cruise. As 9 non German speaking Scottish tourists I can honestly say we had the best time. Although we missed most of what the tour guide Marta was telling the group, both she and the other guests made us feel very welcome, we all had a good laugh together about my booking mishap and the sights were amazing. Was undoubtedly the best hour of our weekend and it will be talked about for months if not years to come. Highly recommend.

Noah – Germany

The Tourguide did a great job at telling us all the exciting facts about the canals and Amsterdam. By attending a cruise like that you get a new perspektive on the streets and the houseboats. We definetly enjoyed our experience on this cruise.!! Would recommend.:)

Full description

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.

Enjoy a full hour of unlimited drinks (optional) while you explore Amsterdams rich history, dive into its cultural characteristics and enjoy the engaging stories of your German guide on board.

You will cross the Amstel, the Magere Brug, and potentially even Westerkerk, the Anne Frank House and more sights (depending on the chosen route). 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.

Includes

  • Canal boat tour
  • Professional guide
  • Optional: unlimited drinks (wine, beer, soft drinks, water)
  • City tax (€2.50 per passenger)
  • Tips

Meeting point

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.
