If you want to enjoy the charms of the capital of the Netherlands while discovering its history, this Amsterdam canal boat tour with an English-speaking guide is perfect for you.

Activity Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet at Oudezijds Voorburgwal and hop onto a boat that will bring us on a ride through Amsterdam's canals. All aboard!

Did you know that the capital of the Netherlands is also known as the Venice of the North? The 100 kilometres (62 miles) of canals divide the city into small islands, connected by historic bridges.

Along the way, you'll pass the Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht, Amsterdam's most famous canals. We'll also enjoy privileged views of the majestic façades that have adorned the sides of the canals since the Golden Age.

In addition, during the boat trip, we'll be accompanied by an English-speaking guide who will reveal historical facts about the places and monuments we'll see, such as the iconic Magere Brug, the narrow bridge over the Amstel River.

We'll conclude this 1-hour experience at the departure pier.

Tour Options

During the booking process, you'll be able to choose between the following options, depending on how you'd prefer to enjoy the boat ride:

  • Boat ride only: you'll do the tour of the canals without any drinks
  • Boat ride + open bar: you'll enjoy the boat ride with an open bar of drinks mentioned in the previous option

Itinerary Changes

Please note that, if it rains, the boat will be covered.
