Overview

Step aboard our historic Virtual Reality Canal cruise tour and be amazed by what past and present Amsterdam has to offer.

For the most part, you can enjoy beautiful current day Amsterdam whilst you can listen to the audiotour (Dutch or English). At 7 locations you will put on your VR headset, which will show you your direct vicinity 400 years ago during the 17th century. Visitors get to see:

- Where the elite lived
- An important trading location including how warehouses were used
- The harbor with hundreds of ships
- An important shipyard where warships were built
- The outskirts of Amsterdam and the 5m high city wall
- And much more

The tour is given through a compelling storyline between the audiotour and the VR experience and all neighborhoods are historically accurate.

Embark on a historic journey that will truly take you into the heart of Amsterdam!
