Not a Typical Cruise: Max 10, Bites, Drinks, Local, Personal
Overview

2 hours
Mobile ticket
This is NOT a standard canal cruise. Skip the crowds: max 10 guests, local captain as your personal guide, quality drinks and Dutch bites. No big groups or scripts—just real stories, truly different.
With our unique 100% electric 100+ year old boat Giuliana that has both an inside and outside area, has a toilet and is heated in the winter, we will provide an intimate 2-hour cruise.
We will pass all the highlights that Amsterdam has to offer, including the world-famous canal belt, the river Amstel, the old city (red light district), the maritime area and places where large tour boats cannot go.
Along the way we will make a stop to pick up some traditional Dutch fried snacks and we have a cheese platter and Dutch cookies on board while you are enjoying a wide variety of (non) alcoholic drinks including a local spirit (Jenever), Cava/Prosecco and G&T.

5.00Sebi was fabulous. His boat was lovely. He provided all kinds of drinks - genever (sp?), local gin, prosecco, white wines, all kinds of beers, red wine too. Food was stroopwaffel, cheese with mustard, fried cheese sticks, spring rolls, bitterballen, etc. Really great informative 2 hour tour. Intimate setting inside and out on the deck.
Immersive and Intimate, overall excellent experience!

5.00Sebi’s experience was wonderful! It was intimate without being pretentious. We booked last minute (same day) and were able to join only one other couple. Sebi provided. Variety of local favorites for drinks and snacks and made a wonderful tour showing the highlights from the Canal. It was a reasonable price point ina historical boat. Will be recommending to all friends and travel colleagues!

5.00It couldn't get any better. I would even give 6 stars if possible. We were a very small round, the tour was very well planned. It was nice and cozy, Sebi could tell a lot about the city and history and was always trying to make sure we didn't miss anything. There was everything your heart desires in drinks. With wit and unforgettable moments. Thank you so much!

5.00If you like personable experiences, this is the right fit for you. A great way to slow down, take in the canals with ease, and enjoy some snacks and beverages. Sebi, the boat captain and tour guide is simply lovely.
This was a fantastic end...

5.00This was a fantastic end to our trip! My wife and my three boys (11,7,4) absolutely loved it. Great snacks and much more intimate cruise on a fantastic smaller boat that was able to maneuver all around the canals (where many other boats could not go). Captain was great / patient with my kids and extremely knowledge/ fun for facts and information along our cruise of the city. Obviously didn’t do more than one - but comparing this to seeing the massive sit down boats we saw I would 100% recommend this experience over the more commercialized companies.
