Here’s an overview of your tour
Join me aboard my 100-year-old traditional Dutch canal boat Delphine, a charming notary boat. Just like most boats in Amsterdam I have turned this antique boat electric which gives you a silent feeling of sailing the waters. Sit back and relax as you float through this beautiful city during the Amsterdam Light Festival. Sip on a drink and enjoy the views!
My canal boat Delphine was built in 1915 and only holds 10 passengers! This way we can reach hidden gems and go into the smaller canals.
After leaving the embarking dock at the H'ART where we will cruise towards the Amstel river where we will meet our first light sculptures. From there we'll pass the famous dock area and move into the Herengracht to cross the canal area.
Floating along the canals you can see most art sculptures but also the beautifully decorated historic canal houses of the 17th century.
Feel free to let me know your preferences and I customize the tour to your wishes.
'Doei' and see you soon!
*Please note* The Amsterdam Light Festival runs from 28 November 2024 - 19 January 2025
