Most visitors reach the Zaanse Schans by tour bus. You'll arrive the way everything once arrived here: over the water. The Verbetering is an original 1916 Dutch cargo barge and certified museum ship, one of the last historic ships still allowed to moor in Amsterdam. This day retraces her own freight route, sailed by the family that owns her: out across the IJ from minutes beyond Central Station, through the locks and onto the river Zaan, until the windmills rise ahead of the bow. Ashore you have two full hours, the complete Zaanse Schans ticket included: two working windmills, the Zaans Museum and Verkade Experience, the World of Windmills, the Weavers' House, the Zaan Time Museum and a clog-making workshop. Nothing to book, nothing to queue for. Home goes the long way, across the polder and down a centuries-old tow canal, never more than 12 guests aboard and always a dry seat. Years from now you'll still tell people about the day you sailed a real cargo ship to the windmills!

What are people saying about Amsterdam

Morning Canal Cruise Amsterdam in Small-Group

Jill_T, Jul 2026

Great Canal Tour!

We were a bit disappointed when Dave wasn't our tour guide just because the person that we received our recommendation from said to specifically book his tour. Giselle, the tour guide we had, did a great job though. We enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it to others. Going early in the morning when the canals are less crowded is a must in our opinion. We were happy we decided to go early.

Chamaleon Travels are amazing right from arranging the bus ride to the site tour and back. Friendly, knowledgable and great sense of handling a group which has people from different parts of the world. Special thanks to Blanca for being such a sweetheart and guide to the entire group.

Amsterdam Cheese, Windmill & Countryside Bike Tour /E-bike Option

Donna_F, Jul 2026

Bram & the fantastic country windmill tour!

We started out in the city, but quickly were out into peaceful country roads and along the water—crossed a couple bridges and went through small towns. We had 15 people in our group who were diverse and fun to talk with. We took pictures by the windmill and halfway stopped at a working dairy farm, where we saw sheep, Herons, cows, beautiful scenery and enjoyed cheese. My Strava app had it at 14 miles, but it was a very easy pace, and the bikes were in good condition. I highly recommend this. The history lesson & conversations with the guide Bram was also fun.

Amsterdam: Exclusive 3-course Dinner Canal Cruise

Elizabeth_L, Jul 2026

A bit of confusion about...

A bit of confusion about meeting point started our trip off a bit shakily, but cruise captain soon picked us up and all was 5* after that. Very lovely from tablecloths to service and 3 course gourmet food . Food was picked up efficiently from a restaurant along the way, once for main course and once for dessert. Classy trip. Would highly recommend for a couple.

Do this upon arrival in Amsterdam

We took this tour with our guide, Luna, who was great! My only regret is that we did not do this sooner. It is my second trip to Amsterdam and had I ridden a bike here earlier, I would have had a better appreciation of the protocols. Otherwise, iit was my favorite experience in Amerstam (yes, better than Ann Frank!).

Captain Don and bartender Lemone were very knowledgeable and humorous in their narration of the tour. The umbrellas provided much needed relief from the 94 degree heat of the day. Drinks were provided and refills regularly checked on. Lots of fun and highly recommend unless rain is threatening.

We went with This Is Holland Hop on Hop Off tour company. Very easy to find the meeting point In Amsterdam. Was easy to find them afterwards in a sea of tour buses. The gardens itself was phenomenal and wished we were there several days earlier but we were on a cruise. I highly recommend going to the gardens.

Anne Frank and the Jewish History of Amsterdam Private Tour

Kathy_O, May 2026

The best way to see Amsterdam

It is walking but at a leisurely pace. Our guide Guido was very knowledgeable and made everything interesting but not like a lecture. We were able to ask questions and get our specific interests explained and the history of it all. Having them purchase our Anne Frank tickets made it so much easy so book early! We were there immediately after Memorial Day so we had some extra history and were able to see impact of war on descenders. Took a tram and had a pie and coffee stop. Great tour!! The non Jewish people in our group really appreciated this history.

Amsterdam Small Group Bike Tour

Rebecca_W, Apr 2026

Great activity for a layover!

Our guide was very knowledgeable and kind. He had a bigger group to deal with amidst all of the traffic and such, and he handled it efficiently and still with kindness and good humor. 🙂 You will definitely want to make sure everyone is comfortable on a bike! Biking in Amsterdam was probably the coolest way to see it in this short amount of time we had on a layover come up but it did feel like being a part of bike rush hour! The locals bike fest and you are right amongst the other cars and people walking. What an amazing tour and I'm so grateful that we did it! It was our first time navigating our family in Amsterdam and it was easy to find from the station. Staff were all friendly and helpful and the bikes worked great!

Amsterdam: Canal Cruise with Local Host, Drinks & Bite Option

Andrew_C, Feb 2026

Fantastic

this was the second cruise I've been on in the city. This was by far the best one. It was a smaller group, which made the experience much more intimate and enjoyable. The host (Chia Yu Chiu) was hilarious and made the entire experience entertaining with their great knowledge and engaging personality. They really knew how to keep everyone entertained while sharing interesting insights about Amsterdam. We had an amazing time from start to finish, and the combination of the smaller group size, the host's fantastic energy, and the beautiful canal views created a memorable experience. The canal cruise successfully delivered entertainment, education, and a welcoming atmosphere that made it stand out from other experiences. I would highly recommend this canal cruise to anyone visiting Amsterdam looking for a fun, engaging, and informative way to explore the city's waterway

Amsterdam The Original Pizza Cruise with Unlimited Drinks

Rebecca_C, Nov 2025

Pizza boat trip

easy to find , got aboard and was asked which pizza we would like and had about 5 options, alcohol was included this consisted of wine or beer but soft drinks also included, nuts was also on the table To nibble on , staff on the boat was very friendly. We had a lovely evening the pizza was lovely but I would say , more information/history should be given as a lot of the trip itself the guide was not talking through which was a shame , canals looked beautiful at night and we are glad we done the trip

Grand Dutch Food & History Tour of Amsterdam

Marianne_S, Sep 2025

The tour is a fun 4hr...

The tour is a fun 4hr tour full of the history of Amsdertam and some if the favorite food of the city. Our tour guide was excellent. She was funny, extremely knowledgable, and is a real local of the area we toured. She had an excellent relationship with all the vendors that we visited. She was very engaged with each person on the tour.
