It was much more a personal experience than the bigger boats. Picked up near my hotel and the staff were amazing. Way more fun and friendly.

I chose this experience because the boat was totally open, in fact it was wonderful to pass through the canals of amsterdam and look perfectly at the view, to make it all the more pleasant the possibility of ordering a drink while the crew described the city to you.

the boat and staff were friendly and welcoming. I would never do a canal tour again because people throw evething from the bridges, my daughter came out of the cruise completely soaked because someone threw something at her which I hope was water from the bridge. which is not the fault of the crew.

Me and my friends definitely enjoy this wonderful experience. The staffs were friendly and they took care of us. They shared some information about the city and its really interesting to hear it. They are helpful and would love to answer some of our questions. They also gave us some recommended place to go since we are just in the country for a tour. Thank you flagship!

Spend an hour exploring the stunning UNESCO Heritage Site-listed canals of Amsterdam. Depart from your chosen location on a luxury cruise that will carry you away from the city crowds. Originally built in 1910, history and character are replete in these 100% electric boats. Cruise through the Jordaan, famous for its Prinsengracht - a 3.2-kilometer-long canal that is named after the Prince of Orange, and is the fourth of the four main canals in the canal belt. Continue onwards to the most romantic Magere Brug (it's called Skinny Bridge in English, but we can work on the Dutch pronunciation during the trip!), past the Amstel River, the Seven Bridges, the Golden Bend, the nine streets, and then back to the Anne Frank House. This is surely going to be the highlight of your Amsterdam trip - and you can make it a memorable experience by upgrading your tickets to include unlimited drinks that you can sip on while you cruise through Amsterdam.
