This one-hour amsterdam canal cruise sets off from Oudezijds Voorburgwal, right at the edge of the old city centre. The route threads through some of Amsterdam's most storied waterways — past the Oude Kerk, along the Reguliersgracht with its seven aligned bridges, and under the Magere Brug. A captain and host are on board throughout, sharing stories about what you're passing rather than reciting a script. The pace is conversational, the group small enough that you can actually hear them.
The ticket options here are straightforward. A regular ticket gets you on the boat, with drinks available to purchase from the onboard bar and settled up afterwards. The drink package includes three beers or wines, or one cocktail. Go for the VIP option and you get unlimited cocktails and mixed drinks for the full hour. Feel free to bring your own snacks — there's no food service, but nobody minds if you pack something to nibble on.
The boat has spacious seating and a retractable roof in case the weather turns, so you won't get caught out by a sudden shower. There's no toilet on board, worth knowing for a sixty-minute trip. Pets are welcome. The departure point is easy to spot — look for the crew in red and the red cushions lining the seats. Arrive ten minutes early, and you'll have time to settle in before the boat slips away from the dock. This amsterdam boat tour suits all ages and works well whether you're here for a first visit or a second look at the city from the water.

“An interesting trip. A nice captain. Unfortunately, the boat's windows were blocked off and the glass was dirty, which spoiled the overall impression.”

In 2018 the company launched on Airbnb Experiences and quickly became the #3 rated Dutch Experience in the Netherlands. A 2019 acquisition added a second boat company and the Britannia II, a restored 1930s Saloon boat, to the fleet, and the business relaunched as Amsterdam Boat Trips.
