Amazing Captain Lon
We were on a nicely maintained, clean and comfortable open boat. Lon, our captain, was born and raised here and shared with us his great breadth of information. There was ample food and drink for all. I would highly recommend this excursion.

Great canal tour
Easy to find by the central station. Observed them cleaning everything thoroughly before we boarded. Comfy, good snacks and beer/wine, knowable skipper and took us on some smaller canals which we enjoyed. Definitely would take this one again. Enjoyed the smaller boat compared to the long one with crowds.

A number of cruise departure points are set along the famous canals, and tours are available in several languages.
Lined with beautiful historic buildings (“canal houses”), the Canal Ring can serve as a helpful visual guidepost for getting your bearings.
The network of canals is home to some of Amsterdam’s most important sites, including the Anne Frank House, the Jewish Quarter, the Museum Quarter, and the Red Light District.
Barges, powerboats, Frisian skutsjes (sailboats), and rowboats ply the canals at all times of day and night.
The Canal Ring is accessible for wheelchair users, as are many of the boat tours that sail around it.
