90-Minute Small Group Canal Cruise – Discover Amsterdam from the Water

Escape the bustle of the city streets and experience Amsterdam from its most beautiful vantage point – the water. Join us for a 90-minute canal cruise in a small group and enjoy a relaxed, intimate journey through the city's iconic canals and hidden gems.

Your local captain and guide will share fascinating stories and fun facts as you glide past historic landmarks, charming bridges, and picturesque neighborhoods. We’ll explore not only the famous waterways but also quieter, lesser-known canals that reveal the city's peaceful side.

Our boat is a modern, electric, and open vessel, offering cushioned seating and a cozy, eco-friendly way to enjoy the views. With a maximum of 12 guests, you’re guaranteed a personal and comfortable experience.

Drinks are available for purchase, and you're also welcome to bring your own snacks and beverages.

Don’t miss the chance to see Amsterdam from this unforgettable perspective

    Great way to explore the city and learn about the history of Amsterdam. João was an excellent guide and spoke fluent English and French (as well as Spanish). He was so excited to answer all our questions.

  • Excellent guide and experience!

    I could not have asked for a better experience! It was a small group on a small open boat. Our tour guide Jo was amazing! So friendly and knowledgeable. I was so impressed. It’s absolutely worth it to look a small open boat like this one. It’s such a more special and personalized experience. HIGHLY recommend!!

  • Fantastic Tour

    This was a very comfortable and informative canal tour. Our captain, Joe, was extremely educated on a number of subjects, including history and geography of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and Europe.

  • A personal touch

    A smaller boat with just a few people, much more intimate tour than the big tour boats. Our guide gave us the personal touch.

  • Amazing boat ride with fun and knowledgable captain

    My partner and I took my parents on this tour and it was such a lovely and incredible experience. Of course the boat was great and the city is amazing, but what set this tour apart from the half dozen I’ve done in Amsterdam is the captain. Our captain was so knowledgeable and kept us engaged and entertained the entire time. We very highly recommend this tour as the best way to see Amsterdam. Will be using this tour group every time we have visitors in the city and hope that we always have the same captain!
