Boat tours in Amsterdam are a popular way to see the city. Gather your friends and prepare to experience Amsterdam together from the water. You can pick the time of your cruise to be either in the afternoon, after a day of exploring, or in the evening as you unwind (or rev up for a night out). Your private skipper will be ready to meet you at the pier and you’ll spend the next two-hours cruising through the canals.
You can expect to cruise past breathtaking landscapes, so make sure you pack your camera and take advantage of all of the (many) photo opportunities along the way. To keep your bellies sated, and the mood jovial, the cruise also includes some tasty snacks and unlimited alcoholic beverages.
The boat can host up to 34 people (with a minimum booking number of eight people) to enjoy an exclusive party on the canals. So, make sure you bring all of your friends and enjoy the beauty of the Amsterdam canals in a festive way.
There is also the option to book a private walking tour which gives you the opportunity to experience all of the best sights in Amsterdam before finishing off the day by relaxing on a boat cruise down the canal.

Not the best starting location to see much of Amsterdam. Warm beer too!

Poor experience We booked a tour in spanish, but unfortunately the guide spoke very little of our required language. It was hard to communicate with her, and she didn't enrich our experience. All the information that she told us was a poor research, with no accurate context. Also whenever I tried to enrich the explanation, she denigrated my comments and told the other guys something like "no, that's not accurate", and later I head the same thing that I told them but just told in a more poor way (because the lack of spanish). I would not recommend booking a spanish tour.

Excellent tour by Guide Harry. Despite it being a cold, sometimes damp day, Harry provided a very interesting and informative tour which whilst we were cold we did not want to cut short because it was so enjoyable. He did kindly take us to a great cafe for a warm drink during the tour, which was very welcome!
