Highlights
- Prinsengracht - Cruise through the most picturesque areas and enjoy live commentary
- Magere Brug - Glide beneath the Skinny Bridge
- Westerkerk - Visit this stunning church
- The Amstel - The Amstel is the largest canal, and Amsterdam originated from this canal, which was once a river. Fishermen constructed a “dam” and named it Amsterdam.
- Seven Bridges View Point - Due to the curved nature of most canals in Amsterdam, it’s rare to see through so many bridges at once!
- Dutch National Opera & Ballet - The Dutch National Opera (DNO; formerly De Nederlandse Opera, now De Nationale Opera in Dutch) is an opera company based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Its current home is the Dutch National Opera & Ballet, located in the Stopera building, a modern structure designed by Cees Dam and Wilhelm Holzbauer, which opened in 1986.
- Herengracht - The three main canals (Herengracht, Prinsengracht, and Keizersgracht), dug in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, form concentric belts around the city, known as the Grachtengordel. Alongside these main canals are 1550 monumental buildings. The 17th-century canal ring area, including the Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht, and Jordaan, was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010, enhancing Amsterdam’s reputation as the “Venice of the North.”

A peaceful and enjoyable canal cruise - We had a wonderful time on the early morning canal cruise. The canal boat was just the right size for a comfortable experience. Jan was a wonderful operator and guide and had many fascinating stories about the city and it's history. The morning was a quiet, uncrowded time to see the city. The refreshments were also delicious and there were plenty of opportunities to take photos. So much nicer than one of the large boats!

Faried captain is the best - I was on a boat trip with captain Faried and it was an educational experience. His jokes are great. I was with my girlfriend and he showed us the city and shared insights about why things are the way they are in Amsterdam.

Highlight of my time in Amsterdam - I highly recommend this tour! The host and skipper were very personable. They gave us fun historical facts, and interacted with us, which was a fantastic, unexpected plus! They included personal stories about the sites we were seeing, and they were just fun friendly guys! This tour was a fantastic way to get an overview of the city. If I ever find myself back in Amsterdam I will tour with these guys again!
Our skipper was Vincent and our talented host was Wisse. They were both truly amazing. Definitely do a canal tour and try to tour with Vincent and Wisse!!!!!

Lovely open boat tour of the canals of Amsterdam - We took a one hour boat trip round the canals at 1030am on 4th May 2023. Teresa was our Captain and Marie did the drinks and they both pointed out the history and details of the various houses and landmarks we passed on the way. The open boat was fun, drinks were offered and it was a great way to see Amsterdam. Also at 19 euros a head - good value..!!
