Highlights and Local Insights Canal Cruise Tour in Amsterdam
Overview
Amsterdam canal cruise onboard a small electric boat. It’s the comfiest spot to soak up VIP views and get the lowdown on the real Amsterdam and Dutch lifestyle. One of our local experts will be ready to share all the city’s secrets, quirks, and a few laughs along the way.
We start right by the lively Rembrandt Square, where the Amstel River begins to flow. Snap up pics floating past iconic sights such as City Hall and the Rokin Canal’s dancing houses. Then at the neon-lit Red Light District., you’ll discover Amsterdam’s oldest canal and the city’s first coffee shop next to the ancient Oude Kerk. Prepare to be wowed by 'Mini Venice'.
Zip through Chinatown and Central Station, and don’t miss the Sea Palace — it's like a mini Hong Kong floating right here in Amsterdam. Cruise down the chic Herengracht canal to the Seven Bridges for those Insta-worthy shots before ending the tour cruising under the Magere Brug.
