We offer Amsterdam boat tours and canal cruises on a modern, small open boat. Guaranteed small groups as we take a max of 12 guests per tour. The boat is quiet due to it’s eco friendly electric engine, which lets us silently glide through the canals. We also have a fridge on board, well stocked with water, soft drinks, beer and wine.

We love our city and are passionate about explaining the growth of Amsterdam and its history.
