Itinerary
We begin the adventure in the beautiful Jordaan; one of our favourite districts away from the crowds.
Your captain will explain to you the history and heritage of the age old canals of Amsterdam, with its beautiful canal side houses. On the 2 hour cruise you can see the larger main canals with the grand mansions, as well as the river Amstel and the smaller canals with beautiful views such as the Raamgracht. We tailor the route on the weather and the time of day but of course we can also include your wishes and ideas, so don't hesitate to let the captain know!

It was a very hot day and the guide was nicely accommodating with cool drinks and sun umbrellas. So far, so good. I have been on boat tours in Amsterdam before and half of the experience is the stories and color of Amsterdam the guide provides. Tom provided none. Bummer.
Hello Joseph, I am sorry to hear that you didn't find your guide to be what you were looking for. It sounds like you are in Amsterdam often, and we would love to make it up to you! Send us an email at Cruise@pureboats.com and we would love to talk to you further.
My husband and I had perfect private boat tour. Highlight of our trip. Our driver Bram was so pleasant, professional and so informative. We could not have asked for a better driver. We enjoyed wine and cheese and everything was perfect!!!
Great experience doing this canal cruise Pure Boats. Our captain/guide was outstanding and had all kinds of interesting stores about the Amsterdam canals and their history. Happy to answer all types of questions too. We enjoyed the complimentary drinks and cheese, crackers and fruits. I thought 2 hours might be too long for this cruise, but the time went quickly and we traveled many of the canals. Highly recommend and a must to for Amsterdam visitors!
Booking was easy, even when I needed to change the date. Our guide, GG, was excellent! And the charcuterie boards and beverages were perfect. I hope to do it again
Lovely boat with snacks and seemingly unlimited drinks provided . Our excellent and friendly captain/ guide Yuca kept us informed and entertained throughout our very serene 2 hour journey around the beautiful Amsterdam canals and river.
This was absolutely perfect and what we were looking for. Mischa was our guide - 10 stars!! At first we wanted to do a private tour but so glad we opted for small group. It was more fun and we met some wonderful people for around the world.
We had a wonderful morning aboard Lucy with Pure Boats! It was the most perfect morning and a picture-perfect day in Amsterdam. We enjoyed a beautiful brunch while cruising the canals, and our captain, Wes, made the experience extra special with his warm hospitality and local knowledge. If you have the chance to book a tour with Pure Boats and Wes, do it—you won’t regret it. It was one of the highlights of our time in Amsterdam, and we couldn’t have asked for a more memorable experience. Highly recommend!
This was a really relaxing way to see the city by water. It is such a stunning place. I enjoyed the drinks and food.
It is a nice relaxing cruise through the canals. Capt Mouse was very nice and funny. They served a snack plate, wine and beer.
Great tour! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly! The snacks and beverages was an added bonus!
