What to Expect

This isn’t just another canal ride — it’s a real Amsterdam experience, filled with stories, history, and local charm. As we glide through the canals of Amsterdam — a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996 — you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for one of the best-preserved city centers in the world.

Your local skipper and guide will share fascinating tales about the city’s rich history, unique neighborhoods, and iconic landmarks. From famous breweries like Brouwerij de Prael and Brouwerij ’t IJ to family favorites like the NEMO Science Museum, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

During the tour, you can purchase drinks and traditional Dutch snacks on board — the perfect way to relax as you take in the beauty of the canals.

A Unique Experience

Our tours are all about connection and authenticity. You’ll be guided by a true Amsterdam local, someone who knows the canals like the back of their hand and loves sharing the city’s stories with guests from around the world.

Whether you come for the stories, the history, or simply a peaceful ride, you’ll leave with a genuine taste of Amsterdam’s spirit — and memories that last a lifetime.

Comfortable All Year Round

In the summer, our boat is open for a breezy, sunlit ride — the perfect way to enjoy the city from the water.
In the winter, the boat is covered and heated to keep you warm and comfortable, so you can enjoy the experience no matter the weather.
