Step aboard a cosy boat and glide through the enchanting canals of Amsterdam with a glass of wine or a freshly shaken margarita in hand. This isn’t just a scenic ride—it’s a relaxed, unfiltered journey through the heart of the city, led by someone who fell in love with it from the outside in.
As a foreigner who now calls Amsterdam home, I bring a curious eye and an open heart to the experience. I’ll share stories that locals might overlook, and point out the quirks, contradictions, and hidden beauty that make this city so uniquely Dutch—and so wonderfully human.
From iconic landmarks to tucked-away corners known only to the most attentive wanderers, this tour offers both comfort and discovery. Come as you are, sip and smile, and let the city reveal itself to you in ways you’ve never seen before.

The Smallest House In Amsterdam
This miniature building exemplifies the historic tradition of taxing homeowners based on the width of their property’s canal-facing façade. Locals say that’s why so many of Amsterdam’s canal houses are narrow yet tall. Today, the ground floor hosts a cozy tea shop, adding to its storybook charm.
Canal Ring (Grachtengordel)
The concentric semicircle of canals (Herengracht, Keizersgracht, and Prinsengracht) shows off Amsterdam’s elegant townhouses, charming bridges, and houseboats. The Amsterdam Canal Ring—known in Dutch as the Grachtengordel—was constructed in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This was a fantastic experience. Alfonso was a great tour guide and made us feel so knowledgeable about Amsterdam. Being on the canals early in the day was the right move - it was peaceful and picturesque. He even showed us some highlights to check out later. Would highly recommend!!
