Amsterdam Canal Cruise by Semi-Open Boat
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Enjoy a brand new type of cruise boat which offers you the comfort of a large canal cruise boat. When the weather is fine, the partially open roof will allow you to enjoy an open boat experience. In the event that the weather is not so favorable however, the boat can be comfortably closed, still ensuring a spectacular view. The boats run on solar energy and are completely silent. During the cruise we offer an audio commentary in 19 languages.
Bypass any lines, and settle into your seat and start your 1-hour journey around Amsterdam’s UNESCO World Heritage canal district. When your boat pulls away, take your first glimpse of the historic city from the water, and hear illuminating facts about Amsterdam’s history from the on board audio commentary. All the sights have their own individual stories, and the commentary unravels the secrets and tales behind each one.
Feast your eyes on Amsterdam’s famous merchant’s houses, many built during Amsterdam’s Golden Age of the 16th and 17th centuries. Learn why they were designed with narrow frontages and hear about their beautiful gables, some with carvings that depict the family crests and trades of the homeowners.
As you glide alongside leafy banks and quaint houseboats, see highlights such as the Anne Frank House and the Golden Bend district with its grand manor houses, and float under the city’s lovely bridges including the famous Magere Brug. After an hour on the water, arrive back at the start pier, where your experience ends.

Was nice, but as we had already went on a bike tour of Amsterdam found that we had already seen and heard about the same things.

Nothing like a nice and relaxing canal cruise in Amsterdam to see some sites and hear some history.

People were helpful directing us to the right boats. Unfortunately, they were unable to take the tickets I'd printed upon booking, requiring us to go to their office to get official tickets.

Our guide was great, the boat wasn't too crowded, and we felt like we got the quintessential canal tour we were looking for.

The trip itself was near perfect. The process of getting from the on-line purchase voucher to an actual ticket was awkward and confusing.

Awesome to see the city by canal.
Review by: George W, September 2015
The tour itself was very good. However, the intent of booking the canal cruise by small open boat was to be able to access canals that larger boats could not access such as the canal through the middle of the red light district. The tour did not include that and seemed to follow the same routes as most of the other boats of all sizes. In that respect the tour was a bit disappointing.

Would have liked more information about canals we were in, buildings of importance. Our boat captain seemed to wait for questions rather than being a real communicator.

Good, tour guide was nice, but not so knowledgeable. Was great for a layover between flights!

Review by: John B, June 2015
Very good, but would have liked more of the small canals
Review by: Julie P, June 2015
This tour was wonderful and our guide was very well informed about the area, funny too!
Review by: Jim p, May 2015
The canal ride was good, but we got very little information from the captain. It would've been more interesting if the driver and pointed out more things of interest.
Review by: Jennifer H, May 2015
The tour was good and the guide was very knowledgable, unfortunately we had 6 drunk young women who were very loud and obnoxious and the tour guide could not control them. He should have dropped them off so the other 8 people could listen and enjoy the trip but he only scolded them which did nothing

The boat was pretty basic - but small enough to get down the smaller canals, which was was I wanted. The captain was outstanding - entertaining, genuine, completely "untouristy" and full of genuine local knowledge
