Full description
Go on a 1-hour evening cruise through Amsterdam. Take in canal-side views of the city from a covered and heated saloon boat as you learn about the city's history and culture.
Let your skipper and hostess regale you with tales of old Amsterdam, as well as stories about what modern life is like in the Dutch capital. Get yourself a drink at the bar and enjoy it as you drift along, passing by the various famous landmarks and quaint canal houses.
Drift under brightly lit low-arching bridges, and feel like you're sailing through a fairytale as you enjoy an intimate atmosphere with a small group of people. At the conclusion of your experience, you can feel free to ask any questions and get recommendations for what to do during the rest of your stay in Amsterdam.
