The city from the water

Amsterdam boasts over 100 kilometres of canals and more than 1500 bridges. During the Golden Age, many of the canals were built, including the popular Herengracht, Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht. Amsterdam’s canals are unique and are listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. An Amsterdam boat tour lends itself perfectly to admiring the symbol of the capital from the water.

Did you know that the canals were, and still are, incredibly important for Amsterdam for several reasons? The canals kept buildings dry, allowed merchants to transport goods through the city more easily, and made it easier to defend the city. Nowadays, the waters are still crowded with, for example, our canal cruise Amsterdam or our private boat tour. It gives you a unique view of the characteristic canal houses. From elegant mansions on the Keizersgracht to converted warehouses on the Brouwersgracht. Our experienced and local boatmen will tell you the best facts about them.

Romantic Amsterdam

The many green trees and romantic bridges give a soft character to the city centre. The Skinny Bridge is beautifully lit in the evening, decorated with hanging flower boxes and parked bicycles, and has been labelled as Amsterdam’s most romantic spot. It is definitely worth taking a photo as you sail past it during our canal cruise Amsterdam. Another photo-worthy bridge is the one on the corner of the Reguliersgracht and Herengracht. That’s not because the bridge itself is so beautiful, but because it gives you a great view over 15 bridges and many canal houses that are stated tight against the water. And if you’re already busy with taking pictures, then grab your opportunity to take a beautiful picture of the Golden Bend where Amsterdam’s most beautiful canal houses are stated.

A unique canal cruise in Amsterdam

At Flagship Amsterdam, we offer you a unique experience on Amsterdam’s canals. Our local skippers and friendly hosts are waiting for you on our public canal cruises. With the luxury saloon boat canal cruise with cheese and wine, you sail past many sights in the city centre and learn about the history and secrets of Amsterdam! The package with wine and cheese is highly recommended, according to many travellers on Tripadvisor: ”Very good wine and a cheese board were the icing on the cake”. On our public canal cruises, you will be on board with a small group of people, which allows you to interact with our skipper and host. They will tell you more about the secrets, facts, and history of Amsterdam in an accessible way, filled with humour. With the Amsterdam evening canal cruise, you will discover romantic Amsterdam and enjoy the illuminated streets and bridges on a 100% electric boat.

With a package of Flagship Amsterdam, you will create a unique experience on Amsterdam’s canals. Do you fancy a drink with friends, family, or colleagues on a sunny afternoon, or opt for a full meal with burgers or pizza? Take a look at our foodbook and look at the endless possibilities we offer.

Amsterdam from the water

With more than 75 kilometers of canals and approximately 1200 bridges, Amsterdam truly is a city built around its magnificent waterways. Many of the canals such as the Herengracht, Keizersgracht, and Prinsengracht trace their roots back to the Dutch golden age. Recognized for their unique and iconic beauty, Amsterdam’s canal belt has been added to the world heritage list of UNESCO since 2010. The canals played a vital role in the past and continue to hold significant relevance to the city today. Serving multiple purposes these canals served to keep buildings dry, facilitate the transportation of goods for merchants and enhance the cities defensive capabilities. Today the canals remain a popular way of cruising through Amsterdam for both for tourists and locals alike.

Best Private Boat Tours Amsterdam

Taking a private boat tour of Amsterdam is the best way to experience the canals. Having a private tour means you get the boat completely to yourself, allowing for more comfort, luxury and if I’m being honest, just a better tour in general. But there are lots of options which aren’t so great. That’s why I’ve created this list of the best of the best.

1. Amsterdam 90-Minute Private Family Canal Cruise

⭐ RATING: 5 out of 5 Stars (250+ reviews) | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 1.5 hours | 🛥 BOOK NOW

The number one best private boat tour of Amsterdam is the Amsterdam 90-Minute Private Family Canal Cruise which has over 250 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews.

When taking a tour, no matter what tour it is, I like to go with the tried and tested option. No one wants to book a tour with no reviews, right? That’s why I really love this tour. Over 250 different families have taken the tour and had a great experience. It’s more than passed the test of time.

Amsterdam 90-Minute Private Family Canal Cruise allows you to experience the magic of Amsterdam on a private family canal cruise. It’s a 90-minute journey that takes you past the top landmarks of this beautiful city.

But a boat tour of Amsterdam offers more than just scenic views and historical insights. It provides a perfect introduction to Amsterdam , giving you tips on places to visit later on your own. This is what is great about private tours, you can ask the guide questions whenever you like.

The longer duration of this cruise allows for a leisurely exploration, ensuring you don’t miss out on any of the city’s hidden gems.

Another perk of taking a private tour is that you can enjoy the flexibility to customise your route according to your interests. You can pick which canals and which landmarks you want to sail past- you can quite literally make your dream canal tour come true!

Unfortunately, food and drink aren’t included unlike other tours, but you’re welcome to bring your own refreshments onboard. And one last thing, don’t let the fact this is a family tour put you off. If you are a couple or a friend group, this is still the best tour for you in my opinion.

For the highest-rated and most popular private boat tour of Amsterdam, book the Amsterdam 90-Minute Private Family Canal Cruise .

2. Private 1.5 hour Canal Tour in Amsterdam with your Loved One

A private 1.5-hour tour of Amsterdam’s canals designed just for you and your partner. Sounds good, right?

Relax and enjoy the historic canals, including the famous UNESCO-listed Canal District and De Wallen. Take in the stunning views and experience the beauty of Amsterdam at night.

Like the family tour, you can also customise the itinerary and choose where you want to go. That being said, I always stick with what the skipper has in mind. They are the expert and they know best. But if you have somewhere you especially want to visit, they will be happy to accommodate you.

Plus, with live commentary on board, you’ll be treated to fascinating facts and captivating stories about Amsterdam’s history along the way.

Sustainability is also prioritised, making this an eco-friendly sightseeing cruise. It’s great to see tours focus on becoming eco-friendly. We want to preserve the beauty of Amsterdam for future generations, after all.

But in terms of the tour itself, it allows you to create unforgettable memories with your loved one. With no other passengers on board, you can enjoy the romantic atmosphere and each other’s company.

And the atmosphere is perfect. Private 1.5 hour Canal Tour in Amsterdam with your Loved One does a great job in setting the vibe as a romantic and loving one. It’s one of the best things you can do in Amsterdam as a couple, without a doubt.

9 Best Canal Boat Tours In Amsterdam & Your Questions Answered! [2024]

Amsterdam has many canal cruises, but which is best for you? Which one is the most worth taking? No one tour caters to all. I’ve taken some of the best canal tours and will share how to pick the best one for yourself, professional tips, and answer all your questions.

Table of Contents

Which Canal Tours to Take?

This post provides detailed information to help you choose the best canal trip. Click here if you wish to see the best boat tours in Amsterdam right away .

Most Asked Questions When Booking A Canal Tour

You might have some questions about Amsterdam canal tours; I have listed them here.

Is It Worth Doing A Canal Cruise In Amsterdam?

Yes, especially if you visit Amsterdam for the first time.

Taking the canal tours allows you to see the historical and beautiful canal houses, understand Amsterdam’s history, and experience the Dutch vibe on a boat.

You might hear some people saying it is not worth it, but they probably didn’t pick the most suitable tour for themselves and didn’t join a good rating tour. That is why I have this post, so you have the best canal tour experience.

Is It Necessary To Book The Tickets In Advance?

Yes, especially if you take small boat tours or evening dinner cruises . Why?

You won’t find ticket offices selling small boat tours; most only sell big ones. That is why you need to book in advance. In addition, the tours I recommended in this post are top-rated, so be sure to book them in advance.

For dinner cruises, there’s only one boat per evening. Spots are limited!

Do Amsterdam Canal Boats Have Bathrooms?

There’s a toilet on board for big boats, but I advise you to use the bathroom before taking the tour. (You can find the public toilets in Amsterdam here)

For small boats, unfortunately, no restrooms!

How Long Is Amsterdam Canal Ride?

In general, it takes around 60 to 90 minutes. Some tours, like dinner and evening cruises, can take about 3 hours.

Where Do Canal Cruises Leave From In Amsterdam?

There are three places: Damrak, close to Amsterdam Central Station; Near Anne Frank House, and Rijksmuseum.

Most tours depart from Damrak, but I recommend boat tours from Anne Frank House and canal tours from Rijksmuseum since it’s less busy, and you can rest more on the boat after visiting the nearby attractions.

Is the Amsterdam Canal Cruise Better At Night Or Day?

It depends on personal preference.

A day cruise offers better visibility, and the natural light during the day provides excellent lighting conditions for capturing the city’s beauty.

An evening canal cruise offers a romantic and enchanting atmosphere, with the city lights illuminating the canals and landmarks. It is also a good option if you want to see the sunset views in Amsterdam. It’s more relaxing, too, since fewer people are on the street than in the daytime.

Taking A Big Boat or A Small Boat Cruise In Amsterdam?

It depends on what you prefer and what you like; here are the pros and cons of taking big and small boats:

Pros And Cons Of Taking A Big Boat Canal Trip

Some benefits:

• More affordable as more guests are on board
• Have multiple language audio guides for the guests, great for people who need more confidence in English.
• Have semi-open boats, which means you won’t get wet or need a raincoat when it rains. The captain closes the deck once it rains and opens it when it’s sunny.
• The heating system is on in winter; there is no need to bring an extra coat to get on the boat.

Some disadvantages:

• More than 80 people are on board, and the guests don’t get much interaction with the captain/guide
• The trip is with an audio guide, not a live guide
• The standard route might be a bit boring for some people

An excellent choice for people who see comfort as their first priority.

Pros And Cons Of Taking A Small Boat Cruise

some benefits:

• More chances to interact with the guide as there are much fewer guests
• Have a live guide on board
• Some tours include drinks and snacks
• Some tours might be canceled due to heavy rain; please check the details when reserving the spots. However, don’t worry about it from May to early September
• Although some boats have a heating system and most provide blankets, it might still be cold for some guests.
• It’s highly recommended to reserve before leaving for Amsterdam, as there are limited spots only.

A perfect option for people who like fun, interactive tours and want to have local experiences.

Best Canal Cruise Tours In Amsterdam

Here are the best canal cruises in Amsterdam; they are with high rating reviews, and I experienced some of them ourselves:

Cheapest 1-Hour Canal Tour In Amsterdam

Big boats are the cheapest option since more people are on the boat.

It costs EUR 18. Stromma and Lovers are the leading companies offering canal cruises in Amsterdam.

**Here is the special deal for my readers if you book with Tiqets, use the link below to get the lowest price. The link is already applied with the dicount code (CANALCRUISE10).**

Suppose you book the canal tickets together with Rijksmuseum or Heineken entrance tickets. In that case, you get the highest discount for the canal cruise!

Pro Tip When Getting On The Boat

Take the seat in the middle of the boat! It’s a bit noisy at the front since the captain is constantly on the intercom checking the traffic, and it’s smelly if you sit in the back.

Luxury And Environment-Friendly Canal Boat Tours

Friendly, knowledgeable staff made this comfortable canal cruise very enjoyable. I would recommend this tour. Irmgard_C ( read more reviews )

If you prefer a luxury boat with a maximum of 30 guests, this tour is for you.

You can sit comfortably with the cushion by taking this electric, gas-free boat. In addition, there’s a live guide introducing the landmarks in Amsterdam, so you can ask any questions you have!

A big boat trip costs EUR 18, but this tour with a much smaller group only costs EUR 22. It comes with great value and good ratings; no wonder it sells out quickly.

My Experience With This Tour

I took this tour in late November, and I loved it!

Most canal tours come with an audio guide, but this tour has a live guide, which makes it much more enjoyable for a tourist. In addition, it’s with an electric boat, so there is no lousy air, and there are only around 15 guests on that day, so the quality is excellent.

The guide was funny and interestingly shared the old Amsterdam story. If you like interaction with the guide, there’s no problem. I sat next to the guide, so I asked him many questions.

If you decide to join this tour, book the tickets in advance as it is popular. In addition, be sure to get on the boat 10 minutes before departure to get a good spot.

Their boat departs from Central Station, Anne Frank House, and Rijksmuseum!

Fun And No Smoking Canal Tours With Food And Drinks

Can’t say enough how I recommend this tour! James did an awesome job in giving us a tour, with just enough historical information that didn’t make it boring. The food was light but tasty. Dr inks were plenty. A.must do activity! Annette_T ( Check the more reviews )

This is the best canal tour I’ve joined. It has a high rating from past guests as well.

You get to interact highly with the tour guide and ask any questions you have during the cruise. Most important of all, you get on a non-smoking electric boat!

I don’t like smoking and even hate the smell of it; this tour does not allow guests to smoke, while some other small boats only prohibit it if the guests mind.

Their boat departs from Central Station and Rijksmuseum!

Smoking allowed Canal Boat trip With Drinks

Very funny and informative boat ride; not only could you smoke/drink on the boat, but our guide, Anthony and Graham, were amazing. Anthony was a hilarious host and even rolled a customers joint for them! Which I thought was pretty good customer service; the boat itself is stocked up with drinks, and it’s electric, so you can charge your phone, etc, while on tour. Would 100% recommend it as an eccentric alternative to a regular canal cruise! Morad_A ( read more reviews )

Want to take small boats in Amsterdam but also plan to smoke and have drinks? You need a smoke-friendly boat tour !

This tour is more than just a smoke-free boat trip; the tour guides ensure you have a fun ride and see plenty of Amsterdam in a chill way!

Since it is a top-rated tour, be sure to book the tickets in advance in case it is fully booked.

Usual Boat Trip: Pedal Boat

If you already experienced the canal cruise or want a different experience in Amsterdam, the pedal boat is for you.

Most tours come with a captain navigating the boat; this time, you can pedal the boat yourself.

You can design your own route and explore Amsterdam at your own pace. In addition, while most small tours do not allow bringing your own food, you can do that if you rent the pedal boat!

The best part is that one pedal boat can have a maximum of 4 people; it’s also an excellent choice for small groups and families!

There are two locations for the boat: Rijksmuseum and Leidseplein.

Hop-on And Hop-Off Canal Boat Ride

Amsterdam is a canal city; it is perfect to experience it by taking the hop-on and hop-off boat service.

It is ideal for people who want to enjoy a different type of transportation in Amsterdam. There are 8 stops in Amsterdam city center, so you can easily access the attractions by boat!

After Covid, only one company offers unlimited hop-on and hop-off boat service.

You can also buy a combination ticket to enjoy the Amsterdam street view by taking their sightseeing bus!

Private Canal Tours With A Tour Guide: For Small-Groups And Families

If you travel as a family or with friends, joining a private tour with a guide, who is also your captain, is a great idea.

Why not navigate the private boat yourself? There are many private and tourist boats in Amsterdam canals; you need quite some skills or talent if you are new. Besides, with a local guide, you can fully immerse yourself in Amsterdam and enjoy the beautiful canal view like a local.

Remember to bring your own food and drinks as they are not included in the tour!

Evening Dinner Canal Cruise

After a long day traveling in Amsterdam, you should have some good food and quality time to have a perfect ending to the day! That’s why the Evening Dinner Cruise is popular!

This 2-hour tour lets you enjoy a fantastic canal evening view and symbolic buildings in Amsterdam while savoring the local three-course menu dinner.

I joined this tour with some colleagues a few years ago, the atmosphere was cozy, and it was an evening I will never forget.

Luxury Dinner Cruise

If you wish for more privacy and a quiet evening dinner, join this 3-hour long three-course dinner tour with a maximum of 16 guests only . Most importantly, a private table is guaranteed!

Amazing! Relaxing and informative! The tour guide was patient, knew everything about the area, and included complimentary drinks and blankets. Absolutely wonderful would definitely recommend it. Jason_G ( Read more reviews )

Want to have an unforgettable canal tour with your loved one?

This private tour is only for you and your partner, no other guests onboard. Besides, the guide can customize this 90-minute route based on your preference, giving you a special and unique canal cruise experience.

This tour is very popular from April to October; if the evening private tour is not available, try their day tour!

In Conclusion: Which Canal Tour is The Best?

Many options exist, but I like Captain Jack Canal Cruises after taking big and small boat tours.

If you prefer to take tours without drinks, join the Flagship luxury boat tour , which has a high value in terms of price!

If you wish to have a dinner canal cruise, this tour offers a great experience . This private table dinner canal tour is perfect if you want more privacy.

Experience the Canals of Amsterdam with a Small Boat Tour (Updated 2021)

When we went to Amsterdam I was DYING to take a canal boat tour . I had dreams of cruising and drifting between those cutesy canal homes. But I had no idea there was such a thing as a small, open topped canal boat tour in Amsterdam , did you?

Originally I was looking at the larger boat tours by the more well-known and well-reviewed companies aka the ones that have free tickets included with the Iamsterdam card . (Because EVERYONE and their moms gets this card!) We were staying in the Netherlands for over 3 weeks so we didn’t really need the Iamsterdam card and for this reason we had more freedom to choose our canal boat tour.

Fun Fact: The canal houses in Amsterdam are so narrow because the government used to tax on the width of the home. This is how you can tell some of the homes were once owned by wealthy merchants, their homes were sometimes twice the width of others.

Jimmy had been to Amsterdam before and taken the large canal boat tour so he suggested we do a small boat tour . One of his biggest gripes with taking the typical large canal boat tour was they run out of seats inside where the speakers are located. He had to sit outside, instead, where he was unable to hear any of the narration. This is where the research began and my mind was blown by the possibility of a different type of tour!

Needing a list of things to do, see, and eat in Amsterdam? Check out our  detailed 3 day guide to Amsterdam!

Table of Contents

Why small canal boat tours in Amsterdam are better…

• Less touristy vibe because they’re not as mass-marketed
• Smaller boats can fit into narrower canals
• The small motorboats are open top so you can see more of the canal houses
• More intimate experience, you can ask the captain questions directly
• Every seat on the boat is a great seat
• You don’t have to worry about finding a seat where you can hear the speaker (because there isn’t one!)
• It’s worth the price－the tickets are usually about the same for both smaller and larger canal boat tours

There are several companies in Amsterdam that offer small canal boat tours, but we ended up choosing Those Dam Boat Guys . Do note that some boat tour operators offering “small boat canal tours” actually have more medium sized boats . Buyer beware , haha, make sure you’re actually buying what you want!

We settled on taking a tour with Those Dam Boat Guys for a few reasons…

• Smaller boat, duh, of course!
• The price was right! €27.50 per person for a 90-minute tour.
• Their site shows that they have a sense of humor, that always helps doesn’t it?

Our Experience with Those Dam Boat Guyz

Reservations & booking.

Their site was super easy to navigate and there were only a couple options so it was easy to find and pick the tour we wanted. We didn’t want to do a private tour , so naturally we picked the only option left, the public tour .

Fun Fact: Amsterdam is home to 165 canals; in total, they are 50km (~31mi). The most famous of them are Herengracht, Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, and Oude Singel.

There was a lot of availability left, we picked the date and chose a 5pm departure. Our tickets arrived shortly thereafter, in our email along with a receipt (in separate emails).

The Perfect Canal Boat Tour

We met up with our group at the designated meeting point Cafe Wester, on Nieuwe Leliestraat 2. Per their request, we arrived 15 minutes early , 4:45pm for us, and were able to use the restroom at the cafe. The servers at the cafe are also familiar with the drill and will permit you to use the restroom in the back. You can also grab a quick drink there if you’d like! We didn’t so we waited outside to stay out of their way, the cafe is pretty small.

Just before the tour started, a girl from Those Dam Boat Guys checked us in and walked us over to the boat dock and our captain.

Our captain helped us onto the boat and arranged us all so that the smokers were at the back of the boat and downwind. We appreciated this attention to detail because it ensured that we weren’t bothered by the smoke. He also gave us all ponchos to put on in case it began raining during our 90 minute tour.

He was a bit of a quirky guy and also began feeding the swans afterwards. The swans obviously knew him because they were already crowding around our boat, haha.

Fun Fact: Many of the canal houses in the Jordaan district were once used as warehouses to store merchants’ goods, some still have markings on the front stating the types of goods placed in them.

In the intimate group, we also did introductions and learned that most of the other couples on our tour were from the United Kingdom and the East Coast ( United States ).

Because the groups are smaller, there isn’t really a set route , but if you want to see a specific canal you can suggest it. None of the people in our party had an option so our captain pretty much got to take us around as he pleased, telling us about the city as we went along. One really cool thing was that he actually grew up in Amsterdam so he was able to tell us information that we might not have known otherwise. A lot of it being that the city has changed a lot over the years.

Fun Fact: Majority of the people who currently live in Amsterdam are not originally from Amsterdam .

Because we were still trying to get the lay of the land, I honestly couldn’t tell you the exact route he took us around. What I can tell you is that he took us through MANY canals and we got to see canals of all different sizes as well as the quaint canal houses alongside.

Our captain told us about many of the sights he’d recommend visiting, including the Rijksmuseum, Vondelpark, and a canal house museum which I later visited (so worth it!). Check out our  Amsterdam weekend itinerary for more about these sights.

It was very peaceful drifting along the narrow canals in the Jordaan district with an intimate tour group. We got a feel for the larger canal boats when we drove into the wider canals. There, we could hear all of the narration speakers and large motors going.

Fun Fact: Many of the canal houses were too narrow to transport large items upstairs through the home. Instead, hooks on the roof line were used as a pulley system to hang up items so that they could be placed into the house through the windows.

It started raining in the middle of our tour and he even provided some people with umbrellas . I’m sure they were regretting rejecting those ponchos earlier, haha. When there was a break in the rain, he took us to a canal intersection in the Jordaan district and helped us take photos !

At the end of the tour, the sun was beginning to set and the lights around the canals were slowly beginning to turn on. We almost wished we had taken a sunset tour; however, either way the weather wasn’t really cooperating so we would’ve missed out on golden hour anyways.

Our captain also gave us amazing recommendations for Indonesian food at the end of the tour. And in case you were wondering, tips are appreciated but not required.

Tour Information

€27.50 per person for a 90 minute tour

This included:

• English-speaking captain & guide all-in-one
• Small canal boat tour with a maximum size of 10 people

Tours are typically offered at multiple times throughout the day primarily between 11am and 9pm. You can book tickets online in advance . We noticed that the majority of the tours were 2 hours apart and offered on the hour though during high season we saw more times available.

Helpful Tips

• It can get chilly while you’re on the boat, especially if you take an evening or night time tour, wearing layers is advised.
• Tours happen rain or shine! They’ll also provide umbrellas and ponchos for ya. We needed and appreciated the ponchos because it started raining while we were on the boat. They’ll usually also provide blankets but I don’t think that’s the case when it’s raining.
• Food and drink is permitted, and yes, this includes “adult” drinks like alcohol. Some of the people on our tour brought beers and wine. They even provide plastic cups for your wine!
• Smoking is allowed, let them know and they’ll position you so that it doesn’t disturb other guests.
• If you’re afraid of the weather and don’t want to be freezing in the canal boat in the rain or cold even with blankets and ponchos, they allow cancellation up to 48 hours in advance.
• They also have an FAQ page if you have more questions!

Your facts are always interesting. I didn’t realise that was why some boats were so narrow! I’ve only been to Amsterdam once and I didn’t really do much (I was sick for most of it)… so I really would like to go back and see more than the bed! I personally wouldn’t have thought about going with a smaller boat so thanks for this post on it. Definitely feels a lot more personal and they do go the extra mile for you 🙂 Great tips!

Awww thank you! You should definitely try to do Amsterdam again, I’m sure you’ll have a much better time. The smaller boat is definitely way more personal since all of your questions will be addressed individually, it’s super nice.

I did a canal ride the first time I went to Amsterdam and it was definitely one of the most memorable parts of our trip! Love your photos and all the fun facts… I had no idea about most of those things!

Thank you, so glad you enjoyed this post!

A canal cruise in Amsterdam is definitely a must. It is the best way to see the city and feel its vibe!

Totally agree!

A small boat definitely seems preferable! What a fun way to see Amsterdam 🙂 I really wanted to do a canal tour but we didn’t have enough time since we were just there on a layover! Will have to check these guys out for a tour if we go back 🙂

I love Amsterdam! And I absolutely loved our canal ride there :). Definitely a must-do.

Definitely worth the extra bucks!

I’m visiting Amsterdam this fall, thanks for sharing this post. I will be adding the canal tour to my itinerary

Stunning pictures

Thank you, you won’t regret it! 🙂

This looks so fun and pretty! We are hoping to go to Amsterdam this coming December, I hope it won’t be too cold to do this!

From what I’ve heard, if the canals don’t freeze over it should be okay. But obviously double check with the tour boat company for confirmation 🙂

I went on a boat tour when I was there and was a bit disappointed. I would love to try this one though, pinning for future reference.

Jimmy took the normal boat tours and wasn’t pleased so he preferred this one much more. He actually suggested this one!

I didn’t get a chance to do this when I was last in Amsterdam, but I do love smaller more intimate type of experiences so this might be ideal. It’s definitely quite different seeing the city from the canals as compared to walking around 🙂

Riding in a boat in the canal is definitely the best way to experience Amsterdam!

Indeed this is one the best adventures, we did something similar in Amsterdam but not in a small boat. It was the big tourist boats so it was crowded. I wish we had chosen a boat like yours instead 🙂

Jimmy felt the same last time, so we did this when we went again together. Now you have another reason to head back to Amsterdam! 😉

What a cool tour! My husband and I are always looking for ways to explore somewhere, without doing things that are ultra crowded and touristy. This small boat tour seems perfect! Thanks for sharing!

The small canal boat tours are definitely not crowded! And way more enjoyable because Jimmy has taken both the larger boat tours and this one.

I read every word of your post. So interesting and helpful. I think I want to book a trip to Amsterdam now just to take this tour, lol. I”m saving this for later in case I need to refer to it. And, thank you, for such an honest review. It’s difficult to find non-sponsored posts nowadays.

So glad your enjoyed this post! We don’t know if we’ll do sponsored posts in the future (who knows what’ll happen in the future). But we won’t recommend anything we haven’t tried or don’t believe in. We believe in maintaining a strict code of ethics and honesty for the sake of our readers’ trust. 🙂

Never been to Amsterdam, but this sure is a great reason to go! The history and the scenery were spectacular. Having the option to go on a smaller, less touristy boat is awesome. I enjoyed this post a lot!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed this post! I hope you get to visit Amsterdam soon especially for this small boat tour 🙂

This is such an awesome idea – I didn’t know you could do smaller boat tours. I like the fact they’re less-touristy and can get into the smaller canals. And there’s no bad seats as you can always hear the narrator. Your fun facts are great too! I’ve been to Amsterdam a few times and my first visit 10 years ago I did a bigger canal cruise so I’d definitely enjoy this smaller one when I revisit. Thanks for sharing!

I’m so glad you loved this post! It’s a really great tour and we loved it a lot so we felt that we needed to share it with our readers. You totally need to go back and try this smaller boat tour, Jimmy loved it WAY more.

I have great memories from my Amsterdam canal tour. I guess your experience allowed to get even closer to the canal experience. It’s something to keep in mind if I get back to Amsterdam. Thanks for the detailed description and nice photos!

Glad you loved the photos, definitely try this next time you’re in Amsterdam. It’s so worth it!

Love a good boat tour .. it’s a great way to see the city in a different perspective. Lucky you grabbed those ponchos to keep you dry during the tour. Great that the captain recommend places to visit – it’s always good to get a local recommendation. Interesting fact about the width of the houses along the canals! This tour is ideal as it’s a small group and all the seats on the boat are the best seats! Right i’m definitely doing this boat tour when I next visit Amsterdam.
