Here’s an overview of your tour
Born and bred in Amsterdam, I know the city like the back of my hand. I'll show you the best spots while giving you local insights about my beloved city on our private boat tours Amsterdam.
Hop on in my boat and let's start the tour with a view on the famous skew 'Sluyswachtershuis', which is a cafe now. from there we'll go down on Amstel river, passing the Skinny Bridge. The bridge has a romantic story and I won't miss telling you about it.
We'll pass by Heineken Brewery, Anne's Frank House, and famous Red Light District. Soak up the beautiful views and enjoy the company of your friends or family. Admire all the buildings from your unique point of view on the water.
Sail along Amsterdam's famous canal districts: Herengracht, Keizersgracht, Prinsengracht, and Singelgracht. I'll tell you fascinating stories about my city and even give you personal recommendations for your next days.
Note: no bachelorgroups are allowed on board.
Let me know if you have any specific requirements, I can personalize the tour for you.
