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.

3.00While we enjoyed the actual cruise, the boat captain was a crank. He went through all the rules at first, furthermore this, furthermore that. The tour is recorded, but he found the need to talk over the speakers which were saying the same thing.
Loved it!

5.00We loved our boat trip! Our tour guide had an incredible wealth of knowledge of the city. We saw so many historical buildings and learnt a lot about the history of Amsterdam. He got everyone involved with questions and interacted well with everyone on the boat. The boat was clean, and tidy. Cushions were comfy and a nice addition of the flowers around the boat. Would recommend this company for a boat trip to anyone who is visiting this beautiful place.
Great experience!

5.00Super cool tour and beautiful to experience in the evening! The guides are very knowledgeable and fun. It’s a packed boat but everyone is offered a drink for the journey
Arnauld and Sven are not like ordinary guides. It’s like hanging out with locals knowing everything you’d like to know.

3.00First of all, the boat is nothing like the picture. I was expecting a closed top boat. The tour is combined with Heineken experience (open top) and I did not receive any notification. I only found out right on the spot. There was no sign on the boarding spot. We did not recognize the boat since it is nothing like the picture. The tour guide is fun and tour itself is enjoyable. We got lucky that it did not rain. It's really cold though (that's why I was looking for a enclosed boat.)
An original and great experience
