We started in front of the Anne Frank House. The canal tour is nice and if done in the evening as we did it is more beautiful because the city is all lit up and navigating these canals is very suggedtibo

Great experience! The food was nice aswell along with the service. Only thing we wish was better was the lighting in the boat - could have been a tad bit dim to make it more Romantic! Overall great experience

The captain was great, telling lots of anecdotes in Dutch/English/German/French and Spanish. A great time It's a pity that the boat's windows didn't slide open to take photos.

Cruise along Amsterdam's iconic landmarks

The best way to take in Amsterdam is from the water, and this cruise enables you to do just that. Take in the Dutch Baroque architecture that spreads across the canal banks and feel the artistic expression radiate from this UNESCO World Heritage Site. On your cruise, you’ll cover not just the 17th-century Renaissance age; but also the modern-age 21st-century look of Amsterdam. From the Anne Frank House Museum, the historic Heritage Museum, the hallowed Westerkerk Church and the Skinny Bridge, this cruise covers it all. Board from any of these three points – Central Station, Anne Frank House, or Leidse Square. You can even choose to upgrade to a semi-open boat.

  • Anne Frank House Museum

  • Red Light District

  • Old Heineken Factory
