Discover Amsterdam’s charming canals on a private boat tour. Customise your route and explore iconic sights like the Red Light District and Seven Bridges.

Tour Options

Welcome to the enchanting city of Amsterdam! There's no better way to experience its historic charm than by gliding through its iconic canals on a private boat tour. All tours start at Prinsengracht 375, located in the heart of Amsterdam’s canal district, and include live commentary from an English-speaking skipper. 

You’ll sail aboard a comfortable electric boat and be treated to a glass of prosecco, beer, a soft drink or water. As well as that, feel free to bring any snacks or food to enjoy along the way—there's a fridge onboard to keep everything fresh!

As each tour is private, your skipper can tailor the route to your interests, ensuring a personalised experience. You can see the details of each tour below:

1-Hour Cruise

Ideal for those seeking a brief but captivating introduction to Amsterdam's canals, this tour takes you through the quaint Jordaan district and the central canal area. You'll meander along some of the city’s smaller, lesser-known canals before heading towards the opulent Golden Bend, a stretch of grand canal-side mansions.

Lastly, you'll cruise under the famous Seven Bridges of Amsterdam, a popular spot for photographers seeking the perfect canal view—you'll understand why!

1.5-Hour Cruise

For a more immersive experience, the 1.5-hour cruise includes all the highlights of the 1-hour tour, with the added bonus of a sail along the scenic Amstel River. Here, you’ll pass the renowned Dancing Houses, a striking set of crooked, leaning buildings along the waterfront.

The journey continues along the canal that inspired Claude Monet's 'Le Grand Canal', offering a glimpse of the city through the eyes of the legendary painter.

2-Hour Cruise

If you're looking for the ultimate canal experience, the 2-hour cruise offers the most comprehensive tour of Amsterdam’s waterways. In addition to everything visited on the 1.5-hour cruise, you’ll glide through the famous Red Light District. Interestingly, this area dates back to the 14th century, when it was primarily known for its distilleries. It wasn’t until the 17th century that it evolved into the vibrant and infamous district it is today.

You’ll also pass the historic Port of Amsterdam, as well as a striking replica of a pirate ship, before finishing with a view of ARTIS Amsterdam Zoo, nestled along the canals.

Additional Info

Please note that children under 10 travel for free.

Advantages of a Private Tour

By booking a private tour, a personal guide will accompany you, and you'll be able to customise your itinerary, travel at your own pace, and even save money if you're travelling in a larger group!
