    On my second visit to Amsterdam I have made the tour of the canals aboard a boat of the company LOVERS, really very well, with audio guide in Spanish, with basic and curious information about the city, its beginnings and architecture. Very nice ride. Impressive the dimension of the tour boats with the small private boats of the locals who go out for a walk around. The drivers have an incredible skill! Very nice to see the houseboats throughout the tour, you pass really close to some of them. Thanks for such a nice ride

    It was interesting, but 2 things disappointed us: - not being able to squeegee the wet windows (even ourselves) to see better - in 2025, single-use helmets are no longer possible...

  • 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.
