Amsterdam Canal Tour by Open Boat – 90 min Small Group Experience

catrina_s, Apr 2026

Fantastic trip- just book it.

Atila gave us the most peaceful informative canal cruise in a very comfy boat with heated seats, blankets, drinks - so lovely to visit some of the smaller canals. He clearly loves his job and Amsterdam and is very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this trip. Big thank you Atila.

Morning Canal Cruise Amsterdam in Small-Group

Omar, Apr 2026

Perfect tour to see a different face of Amsterdam

Had a great time with Jan on the 8 o'clock cruise. As advertised, we were the only boat on the canals and that made the experience very special. We go to see the city before the crowds got out and Jan was great at sharing information about every spot we sailed by. The list of recommendations of hidden treasures to explore in the city was greatly appreciated. BTW, the sugar cake and drinks provided were also a great addition. We highly recommend this early morning tour to see the city in a different way and avoiding the ever present crowds.

Amsterdam: Day trip to Tulip Farm, Keukenhof + Windmill Cruise

Sally_B, Apr 2026

Three in one tour!

Excellent value for the money. We took this excursion while on a Viking River cruise. We were able to visit a private family tulip farm and walk amid the rows of tulips for excellent pictures. They had an amazing gift shop which included coffees and baked goods for purchase. Many tables to sit and enjoy. Their farm was wonderful. You can order bulbs to plant at the appropriate time. After that we went on a relaxing boat ride through the ciuntryside to see the windmills. There was food and drink to purchase with homemade apple pie! Then we traveled to the huge “farm”. It is huge! So many flowers! A restaurant and gift shops are available as well.

Great trip to Keukenhof

What a great way to see the flowers! Our/driver guide Mo was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable, professional, helpful and truly personable. We felt he really wanted us to enjoy our tour. He gave us some really good tips when visiting Keukenhof. Showed us some beautiful fields of flowers on the way. Even though it was early in the season he knew just where to go. Pick up and drop off was great. Highly recommend.

Captain Okke was fantastic!

This is a great option if it’s cold! We had an evening cruise with 12 passengers. The captain was friendly and explained the history of the canals and city. He also made us laugh with funny stories. There were refreshments and the enclosed boat kept us warm on a very cold evening!

The Ultimate Amsterdam Canal Cruise - 2hr - Small Group with Drinks & Snacks

Mark_O, Aug 2025

Great tour

What a great trip. Crew was great. An appropriate amount of time spin on historical facts and the rest on some light comedy and small talk. I would have to say this was the best tour I've been on in a long time. The crew attended to our needs and made us feel special. One note is that this boat was the number one voted boat last year in all of Amsterdam. The boat formally owned by the Heineken family has bulletproof windows and is top notch. This is the tour to go on.

Perfect Way to See Amsterdam

We had a relaxing, informative, and comfortable cruise on the canal and absolutely loved it. Our time in Amsterdam was cut short by flight delays but we did this our first night in town and got to see and enjoy so much. And the knowledgeable team gave us a few recommendations for making the most of our time in Amsterdam as well. Unforgettable evening, highly recommend. It was also less crowded at some times than others - we were almost crammed on an earlier scheduled tour but were so glad we waited for the next one to enjoy a more comfortable ride.

Wonderful tour and staff

Great guides and boat! Lots of cool information and also the guides had great senses of humors. Wish our boat canopy had been put down as it made viewing a bit more difficult. The meeting point is a little tricky since there was many boat companies that leave from this location. Just ask, ask, ask any boat company and they were all very helpful in locating the correct one. A great way to see the canals with a fun staff!
