Amsterdam Canals Guided Boat Ride
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.

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:
