The Jordaan
The most common theory on the origin of the name is as a derivation of the French word Jardin, meaning garden: most streets and canals in the Jordaan are named after trees and flowers. Another theory is that the Prinsengracht canal was once nicknamed Jordaan (the Dutch name for the river Jordan) and that the neighborhood beyond the canal came to be called this as well. Our Flagship canal tour will start and end here in the Jordaan.

5.00It was great! I learned a lot about the city on this tour. I would def do it again. I do wish it was a bit longer but the 45mins/ hour was good when it came to timing around other activities.

5.00Wonderful boat captain and bartender. Friendly, engaging, informative. We were seated next to a family with young children using devices to watch videos and we would probably seek an adult-only experience in the future since that made it tough to hear the guides. But the boat trip and area was beautiful. We toured at night and everything was lit up. It was lovely.
