Guided Amsterdam Evening Canal Cruise Including Wine and Cheese
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Enjoy a 2-hour evening canal cruise through Amsterdam's famous canal district. Savor wine, Dutch cheese and nuts from the comfort of a table on board the boat. Then, take in Amsterdam’s historical architecture and listen to the onboard guide's insightful commentary about sights such as the Golden Bend and the Red Light District.
Hop aboard your boat near Amsterdam Central Station for a cruise along the canals. Take in the sights and soak up the evening atmosphere as you glide through the city center and through the Red Light District, arguably the city’s liveliest neighborhood, where historical bridges and red-lit windows illuminate the water. Your host will serve red and white wine, so sit back, relax and sip as you cruise. A platter of Dutch cheese and nuts is also on your table. Drift along the Herengracht, Amstel and Oudezijds canals, and admire the sight of Amsterdam’s 5-star Grand Hotel, lit up against the sky. The Golden Bend, a stretch of elaborate mansions, is a key sight on your route, so listen to the live commentary about the area as you pass. Learn about Oosterdok, the city’s eastern docks, and then finish your cruise back at the start point.

Very great tour and night for an evening cruise. Myself and my girlfriend really enjoyed the experience and sight-seeing, it was really cool to see the canals and Amsterdam at night on a perfect weather wise evening. The wine was flowing, the nuts were good, nice pictures taken, this was a great tour and worth doing when in town!

This is well worth the tour. I would have enjoyed leaving the dock a little bit earlier so that it was dusk for picture taking as it gradually got dark. On the other hand we had a full moon that night so it was spectacular as well. The wine and cheese were authentic and enjoyable. I would recommend a trip like this to anyone who is a first time visitor to Amsterdam.

This was the highlight of my trip to Amsterdam. Met at the designated meeting spot 15 minutes before departure. Loaded the boat. It was pretty full. We sat across from each other with another couple at our table. They were actually with the couple across the isle from them so there was little interaction with them. We were on the window side so had a GREAT view of all the sites. Started with sparkling wine toast and we left the dock. Great scenery! Different perspective to see the sites of Amsterdam from the canal. Meat and cheese board was really good, I had beer and my wife had wine. Both top notch. A wonderful trip. It did last the full 2 hours and was well worth the fare.

Really beautiful nighttime tour of the canals we all really loved seeing all the lights and bridges and houseboats. Staff was friendly and were happy to refill wine glasses/our cheese plate. My one critique would be that it was hard to hear what the tour guide was saying due to the loudness of the boat/the sound system.

It was great seeing the city at night with all the lights. It was relaxing and the snacks and drinks were good. The guides delivery and information was good. Only minor issue was the windows fogging because of the temperature outside and the people inside and no heating.

Loved this boat tour! The Captain Flip was so much fun and the guide was also really good and knowledgeable. The boat was comfortable, unlimited drinks awesome and views of the city at the night beautiful! I would highly recommend, we had such a great time - ended up being the highlight of our trip which was perfect as I had bought this for my husband's 30th birthday.

This was a great evening canal tour. Great staff, very helpful and lovely to see the canal and surrounding areas lit up at night.
Review by: Alex W., January 2018
Very nice canal cruise. Was fun to go around the city and hear about the city. Staff was very friendly. If you are looking for a relaxing cruise with beautiful sites and with free drinks around the canal this is your cruise! Enjoyed it all!

Great boat trip with a very funny guide. Lots of wine and cheese, and other snacks too. Highly recommended.
Review by: Liverbird, December 2017
A very nice evening. Not many people on the boat so we had a table for two on our own. Very romantic night on the boat where our captain kept us informed throughout the canal cruise._br/_ We had a prosecco as a starter, then a choice of wine and beer through out which was replenished. The cheeseboard and snacks too. Should comment the employee waiter sorry forgot the name, who was brilliant assisting us. Great evening and would recommend it especially for couples.
Review by: Kim Y, October 2017
This was a very pleasant way to spend our first evening in Amsterdam. Friendly staff and nice cheese platter to share. Only comment would be that the drink service was almost non existent. We had one glass of wine served and when the waiters next came round they had run out of red wine and said they would come back with another bottle to fill my glass. This never happened. The man sitting in the booth behind us though was able to get served with 4 beers during the cruise. It was suggested that we tip the waiters at the end of the cruise. Needless to say we didn't. Was nice seeing the sights by night
Review by: Richard G, October 2017
Great tour at night with the lights on buildings along the canal...wine and cheese was fine...and the guide was good! We enjoyed ourselves!
Review by: Wandaborg, September 2017
We loved it. It was our first night in Amsterdam and the canal cruise gave us a chance to enjoy the beautiful nighttime lights.
Review by: Joan M, September 2017
Took this the first night we arrived and it was well worth the money. Great assortment of cheese, flowing wine, astounding Amsterdam scenery, and a captain/crew who kept us laughing. An absolute must for your tour package in Amsterdam.
Review by: Barry H, September 2017
The canal cruise was excellent! The wine and snacks exceeded our expectations. The narration was well done; the guide had a great sense of humour and his English was perfect.

Great experience.
Review by: Andrea L, July 2017
Wanted to see the canals in the evening. Definitely over priced versus other canal tours. Yes, the wine and cheese is an added bonus, but it was nothing special. They kept pouring glasses of wine for the girl next too me, and she was so drunk she wouldn't stop talking to me and I felt that I missed out most of the cruise. Also, our seats were in the aisle, which provide VERY little view around, the dome cover blocked most of what we were trying to look at. It was unfortunately the thing we regret doing the most on our stay in Amsterdam. I really wanted to like it more : Would recommend a canal cruise without a cover.
Review by: Deborah G, July 2017
Wine was so bad couldn't drink it. Completely unromantic. Large party of young boys across from us trying to get down as many beers as they could in the time allotted. For the money...choose another tour that is more private, quiet and with better wine.
Review by: Nicola H, July 2017
This tour was amazing!
Review by: hardeepsingh003, July 2017
Pleasant evening trip for 2 hours and covers Amsterdam in the evening. Plenty of wine, cheese and soft drinks. Great service.
Review by: blmcwm, July 2017
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The guide was delightful, the sites were beautiful and the wine was plentiful. One of our favorite memories of a wonderful 12 day trip.
Review by: lori p, June 2017
Great tour and fun guide. Good selection of cheese and salami. Would of loved a cracker or some bread with all the cheese. Wine was nice choice of red or white and plenty of water
Review by: Richard B, June 2017
This was supposed to be a cruise of the red light district by canal. Not only was it very noisy, the guide who seemed very competent couldn't be heard. It would be great for a group of friends who are out for an evening and see this as an open bar, where they can drink wine and beer without limits. The tour, for those cruisers, seemed to distract them from their goal.
Review by: MRS C K C, June 2017
Great tour, It allows you experience the area and red light district, while relaxing having wine and cheese
Review by: Steven T, June 2017
This was one of the best things we did while in Amsterdam. The guide was great as was the food and wine. We expected to get one glass of wine. But it was unlimited. The boat was about 2/3 full so we had plenty of space at the table. Most people had four people seated at a table designed for six. I don't think I would have enjoyed it as well if we would have had six people seated at our table. The route was great and we got a lot of great photos. We were amazed that the sun only set around 10:00 p.m. We really enjoyed this tour and thought the price was very reasonable.

Fun way to see the city, A must do, just takes a few hours.
Review by: Henry E, May 2017
Great evening, beautiful cruise on the lovely canals of Amsterdam. The wines are freely available and the cheese is fair.
Review by: Marilyn B, April 2017
Excellent cruise . You get on boat at Lovers Canal Cruises Martelaarsgracht / Prins Hendrikkade intersection ._br/_ The boat was half full , so each couple had their own table . We sat side by side so we could both see where we were going. _br/_ Incidentally we did a daytime cruise a couple days later courtesy of a river boat cruise we went on and that cruise was very similar in route. Was great to recognize the sites during night day ie specific houseboats, church towers, etc.
Review by: Sharon H, April 2017
Well worth the trip! could bring our own snacks and it was very relaxing!! Very generous with the wine!!
Review by: Jeff B, March 2017
Well run professional trip with free flowing wine, cheese meats and other snacks. A very good overview of major sites, night illuminations and a history of the City as seen through the canal system.
Review by: DeAnna B, March 2017
My group was a big one. We had 6 of us, and the staff was absolutely amazing about keeping us stocked on wine and cheese. The wine was flowing, and by the end we were all definitely a bit tipsy, but the cheese and wine combo were perfect! I have nothing bad to say about the crew, but my only wish was that we were able to see the sights out the window. It was a rainy night, and we had opened the window but a group of angry Germans slammed our window shut and we decided it wasn't worth the fight. Thank goodness for the wine to making the trip enjoyable regardless of the lack of view!
Review by: Roger B, March 2017
This was a birthday treat, the tour guide and crew were brilliant. The wine and cheese were very tasty. Will do this tour again.
Review by: hazel T, February 2017
Pleasant trip
Review by: Angell H, January 2017
Was a very nice trip through the canals. A little cold, but it was winter!_br/_ I did find it a bit hard to work out where I was supposed to be, but people were friendly and the tour was well worth it.
Review by: r.barboza, December 2016
It was ok for us. if you want romance and for it to be special then I recommand a private tour. The tour guide and the services provided to us were excellent.
Review by: linda m, October 2016
Exceeded our expectations, easy to find in a city where we kept getting lost!, very attentive staff and an abundance of wine, cheese, snacks and nibbles, it was my partners birthday and everyone sang happy birthday to a very shy guy just a well it was candlelit_br/_ very memorable and highly recommended
Review by: Petra J, September 2016
prima Sache - würden wir wieder machen - Daumen hoch
Review by: Barbara J, September 2016
This was essentially a long boring ride through the canals. The host was nice but not very funny, he added very little to the ride, never really told us about the history or what was unique or important about the neighborhoods we were gliding through. The boat was covered, and the wine and cheese less than what most would put together themselves. This has so much potential, but I'd skip it and find a cruise that is informative, and open air or just rent a bike. Total fail.
Review by: Carolyn M, August 2016
beautiful and relaxing. Great selection of cheese and wine. the canal scenery was fantastic as well as the commentary of the guide. A memorable evening.
Review by: Connor H, July 2016
Loved It! Very beautiful city

Review by: maureen m, April 2016
Six ladies did this guided evening canal cruise together, we had a wonderful time and the wine was following._br/_ would do it all again
Review by: Zita M, February 2016
Very enjoyable way to see the city. The wine was kept flowing all night. Big thumbs up.
Review by: Susan C, February 2016
We had a lovely time on this tour. I went with a friend and we were worried it would be a bit too 'coupley' but we didn't have to worry. Yes, it could be romantic as you as in candlelight but we found it really serene and scenic.
Review by: Abigail W, January 2016
My husband and I loved it. We would do it again when we come back. Tour guide was great and so was the crew.
Review by: James B, January 2016
Our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. The wine was decent and the waitress made sure we always had enough to drink.
Review by: David G, October 2015
This was a big disappointment we had wanted to do the walking tour of the Red Light District and then a canal cruise you changed the tour but said we would cruise through the Red Light District. We accepted your explanation and it ended up that the cruise through the red light district lasted about 3 minutes with most of the rest of the cruise unable to see the highlights because there wasn't much light disappointing
Review by: Deanna G, September 2015
Very nice evening cruise. Guide and staff were very nice and they keep the wine coming.
