About the experience
Discover the beauty of Amsterdam from its most iconic viewpoint — the water — on this private 2-hour boat tour. With its famous canals, historic bridges, and charming houses, the city reveals a whole new side when explored by boat. Perfect for travelers short on time, this tour offers an intimate and relaxing way to experience the Dutch capital.
Your journey begins as you step aboard a comfortable boat in central Amsterdam. From the very first moment, you’ll be surrounded by the city’s unique charm: narrow canal houses leaning slightly over the water, bicycles lining the bridges, and locals enjoying daily life along the canals. The skipper will guide you through both the well-known highlights and the quieter, hidden waterways.
As the boat glides through the canals, you’ll pass iconic landmarks such as the Anne Frank House, the Westerkerk, and sections of the UNESCO-listed Canal Belt. You’ll also discover lesser-known areas that most visitors never see, giving you a sense of the city’s authentic character. Along the way, you can relax with a drink, take photos, or simply enjoy the calm rhythm of life on the water.
This tour is flexible, allowing you to choose whether you’d like to focus more on the city’s famous highlights or spend time exploring hidden gems. With just two hours on the water, it’s an ideal balance of sightseeing and relaxation — perfect for couples, families, or groups of friends looking for a private experience.
By the end of the cruise, you’ll have seen Amsterdam from a completely new perspective. The canals tell the story of the city’s history, culture, and daily life, making this two-hour journey one of the most memorable ways to experience Amsterdam.
Please note: the tourist tax of €2.60 per person is not included in the booking price and must be paid in person on the day of the tour.
