The best way of seeing historical Amsterdam is from the water. Join us on our 1 hour canal tour on our 100% electric, luxury boats.
Enjoy all the beauty that Amsterdam has to offer while enjoying a drink. All our boats have a bar on board where drinks can be bought. During the tour our crew will tell you about the history of Amsterdam and the sights you pass.
During summer, when the weather is mainly sunny and dry, the tour will take place on one of our luxurious open boats. On the other hand, if it happens to be rainy or cold on the canals, we will be very happy to host the tour on one of our beautiful and warm saloon boats.
In order to ensure you a spot on the boat, we advise you to book your ticket online in advanced.

2.00The boat was very crowded We had a full view of the bar in the center of the boat Very difficult to see anything around The guides were very friendly but very soft spoken and hard to hear
Not what I expected

3.00We had a nice time on this tour however there are certain reasons I am rating 3 stars. First, it was advertised as “unlimited drinks and bites,” but there were no snacks at all. Just drinks. This was disappointing and not as advertised. Our tour guide was charming and knowledgeable and funny. The second reason I am rating 3 stars is because the skipper (driver) would not stop talking with his friend he brought along. They talked AT LENGTH about his personal romantic life, and it made it difficult to hear the tour guide. I know way too much about this man his on again off again Italian girlfriend. Beautiful city but I don’t think this particular canal cruise was worth it.
Awesome!

No Guide, Self-Service Drinks, and a Cup of Pretzels
Jenny K,Jun 30, 2026
- Review from Viator
2.00This was one of the most disappointing experiences of our trip and absolutely not worth the price. We booked this cruise expecting a guided tour of Amsterdam's canals, with commentary about the city's history, architecture, and landmarks. Instead, there was no guide on board at all. The boat captain occasionally shared a few brief facts but largely told passengers to ask questions if they had any. That's not what most people book a canal cruise for. We wanted to learn about Amsterdam, not conduct our own Q&A session. The "luxury" aspect was also difficult to find. The unlimited drinks experience was essentially self-service, requiring passengers to get up and make trips to the bar themselves throughout the cruise. It felt more like a casual boat ride than a premium guided experience. And the "bites" option was particularly disappointing. The only food provided was a small cup of pretzels. That's it. Marketing this as a bites package is, at best, a stretch and certainly not worth paying extra for. Had this been advertised as a simple canal cruise with self-service drinks, our expectations would have been different. Instead, the description led us to expect a guided, premium experience that simply wasn't delivered. Save your money and choose one of the many other canal cruises in Amsterdam that actually provide the experience being advertised.

0/10 Would NOT Recommend
Marcus A,Jun 30, 2026
- Review from Viator
1.00I wouldn’t recommend this experience. Unfortunately, a larger group in our party decided to make this into a personal private party. They were very chatty and distracting, then decided to do a marriage proposal in the middle of the guides commentary. We literally just rode around in the canal with no additional dialogue. The seats were wet and left my pants soaked. The “unlimited drinks and snacks” was a scam, as it only came with cheap wine and some crackers. 0/10 experience. When I mentioned this to both Viator and the tour operator, they didn’t even offer a partial refund. This is a cash grab. Terrible experience.
Wonderful tour, excellent guides

5.00A little difficult to see unless standing up. Guided were young and energetic. They provided insightful details, such as the dancing houses and kissing bridges.
Fun
