Itinerary
We sail through the oldest part of Amsterdam. More than just red lights, this area is filled with narrow alleyways, leaning houses, and centuries of fascinating stories. It’s the city's most talked-about neighborhood – and we’ll show you why.
Dating back to 1306, this is Amsterdam’s oldest building. Standing tall in the heart of the Red Light District, the church is a surprising island of silence and beauty amid the city's busiest area.
Glide past a life-sized replica of a Dutch East India Company ship. Discover where Amsterdam’s maritime power began, and how it shaped the world – and the city itself.
This futuristic, ship-shaped building rises out of the water and sparks curiosity in every visitor. And yes – the rooftop truly offers one of the best views of the city skyline.
A district rich in cultural heritage and emotional depth. Here, historic synagogues, museums, and monuments tell powerful stories of resilience, remembrance, and community.
A hidden green paradise in the heart of Amsterdam. With plants that date back to the 17th century and rare species from around the world, it’s a serene view from the canal.
The most prestigious part of the Herengracht, lined with grand 17th-century mansions. These were once home to the wealthiest merchants of the Dutch Golden Age – and they still impress today.
A magical view awaits: seven perfectly aligned arch bridges, creating one of Amsterdam’s most iconic and romantic sights. Don’t forget your camera!
A charming white wooden drawbridge that lights up beautifully at night. According to legend, a kiss under this bridge guarantees everlasting love.
These famously crooked canal houses seem to lean and sway like dancers. Built on wooden poles over the swampy ground, they’re a symbol of Amsterdam’s quirky charm.
As we glide by the remnants of the old city wall, you’ll see hidden towers and canals that once protected Amsterdam. A glimpse into the city’s medieval past.

Zoe was amazing, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We learned so much and she turned a cold, rainy night into a memorable first night in Amsterdam.
Friendly staff and a nice boat however there was very little information provided during the tour. I wouldnt describe this as a guided tour, more of a canal cruise serving drinks. Couldnt recommend
We had a really great trip with Berta and Levi, seeing many parts of Amsterdam we would otherwise never have visited. They were both very informative and entertaining, and we left having learnt some very interesting facts, as well as enjoying fabulous cheese and plenty of wine. Highly recommended!!
The guide was funny, informed, provided great background and history on Amsterdam. Tilan our guide, was able to engage the group of visitors easily and would use him again
We had a great time with the driver and tour guide, with yummy cheese and nice wine along the way. I would definitely go again. I liked that the boat was smaller than many of the others, and we had plenty of extra space with only our group of 3 plus about 5 or 6 other people on the boat. We went mid-day, and I would like to take the same tour at night. It picks up and drops off in the Red Light District, so it is convenient to many restaurants.
Really nice tour. Our captain and the guide both were really helpful and knowledgeable and gave us a great experience during the tour. Highly recommended.
Great canal tour. Very entertaining. Good value. Highly recommend. We were lucky as it was a sunny day. If you book online it’s slightly cheaper than paying on the day.
Very personable and informative. Highly recommended. You can get a different view over the city and learn interesting things.
Really enjoyed this cruise. Ties was knowledgeable and very fun. He had a great sense of humor and made the experience very worthwhile.
Perfect way to see the city! Not too much time and definitely worth the price tag. We received 3 glasses of beer, wine or soda, which was perfect for our trip. Highly recommend.
