Beskrivelse
Vi drev anderledes. Mens andre både flok 50+ mennesker med megaphoner, vi holder det lille og ægte. Tænk Amsterdam venner, der ejer en båd. Dine kaptajner, Jannah & Beer blev født her. De ved, hvilken bro der lyser bedst, hvor lokalbefolkningen kan lide at drikke kaffe og dele nogle virkelige livshistorier om vanvittige ting, vi oplevede på kanalerne. Kom som du er. Kick af sko, gribe tæpper, hjælpe dig selv til drikkevarer. Dette er ikke en museumsbåd - den flyder gennem Amsterdam i din vens stue. Vi springer turistfælder for skjulte perler. Du flyder forbi, hvor Amsterdam rent faktisk bor. Max 6 personer betyder rigtige samtaler. Amsterdam bevæger sig hurtigt. Vi bevæger os med vandhastighed. Ingen hastværk, ingen stress. Bare gode mennesker og roligt vand. Du vil se Amsterdam som lokalbefolkningen gør - fra vandet, med folk, der bor her. Plus du får en Polaroid og vores insider kort. Velkommen om bord. Velkommen hjem.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Brouwersgracht, bryggernes kanal, gjorde Amsterdam rig med ølpenge for 400 år siden. De flotte huse, du ser? Bygget af ølproducenter, der blev rige her. Nu bor kunstnere og lokale i gamle lagre. Du vil se husbåde dækket af blomster, hvor folk rent faktisk bor året rundt.
Herengracht har været Amsterdams mest luksuriøse gade siden 1612, da rige mænd byggede massive huse her. Disse tilhørte borgmestre og handlende, der blev rige af krydderihandel. Disse er ikke museer - de er stadig de dyreste boliger i Europa. Kanalen strækker sig 2,4 kilometer gennem hjertet af byen.
Blauwburgwal er lille på kun 100 meter lang, men fyldt med stor historie. Navnet betyder "blå fæstningsvæg" fra da den beskyttede byen. I 1940 ramte bomberne denne gade og dræbte 44 mennesker. Nu er det stille og smalt. De fleste turister savner det fuldstændigt.
Singel er Amsterdams oprindelige foss, der holdt fjenderne ude, indtil byen blev for stor til sine støvler. Find verdens smaleste hus på nummer 7
Haarlemmersluis er det 17. århundredes lås, hvor sild plejede at blive pakket og sendt. Nu kanalen både passerer dagligt gennem hvor fisk handlende engang tjene deres formue.
IJ er Amsterdams enorme vand, der plejede at forbinde til Nordsøen. Det er her, byens haveventyr begyndte, og skibe fra alle steder stadig anker. Du vil se gamle Amsterdam på den ene side og moderne bygninger på den anden - viser, hvordan denne by fortsætter med at vokse.
Amsterdam Noord er stedet, hvor unge kreative mennesker bor på tværs af vandet. Kunstnere overtog gamle fabrikker her, efter at industrien flyttede ud. NDSM Wharf brugte til at bygge skibe, men nu er den fuld af kunststudier og startups. Gamle møder nye overalt, hvor man kigger.
Houthavens lastede træ i århundreder. Nu bor unge professionelle i glas tårne, mens gamle havnekraner ser ud som metal giraffer.
Prinseneiland er den mindste vestlige ø, hvor kunstnere har gjort deres hjem. Efter 2. verdenskrig flyttede kreative mennesker ind i tomme lagre her. Det brugte til at opbevare vin, tobak og salt til det hollandske West India Company. Nu huser de samme bygninger charmerende kanalboliger.
Realeneiland, opkaldt efter den rige familie Reael, er hvor Amsterdam byggede sine skibe. Skibsbyggere, fiskepakkere og tjære virksomheder gjorde denne ø buzz med arbejde. 13 havkaptajners huse står stadig fra, da havpenge blev tjent lige her.
Lijnbaansgracht, rebkanalen, fik sit navn fra rebproducenter, der havde brug for lange rum til at lave skibs rigging. Bygget i 1612, dele blev fyldt i i 1800'erne for at skabe pladser og gader, du stadig ser i dag forbinder kvarterer.
Bloemgracht, blomsterkanalen, rangerer som en af Amsterdams smukkeste vandveje. Træer og bygninger fra 1600-tallet skaber perfekt lys, som alle forsøger at fange. Lokalbefolkningen cykler forbi, mens besøgende stopper for billeder. Navnet blomst kanal giver fuldstændig mening, når du ser det.
Café Papeneiland har været i drift siden 1642 på dette berømte hjørne. Denne brune café serverer æblepaj, der fik Bill Clinton til at bestille en hel en at tage væk. Den træindvendige og gamle fliser fortæller historier om hollandsk historie med rene Amsterdam vibes.
Prinsengracht - 3,2 kilometer af Amsterdams længste kanal. Anne Frank gemte sig her. Rembrandt er begravet i Westerkerk. Husbåde, hvor kreative bor.
Egelantiersgracht får sit navn fra den vilde rose og blev bygget til dygtige arbejdere og håndværkere. Husene er mindre end de flotte hovedkanaler, fordi rigtige arbejdere boede her i stedet for rige købmænd. Det er netop derfor, de er så populære med lokalbefolkningen nu.
Leliegracht, liljekanal, tilbyder en af Amsterdams mest fredelige vandveje omkranset af smukke bygninger fra 1600-tallet. Små både flyder forbi, mens lokalbefolkningen drikker kaffe på søde caféer langs bredden. Det er en skjult perle, som de fleste besøgende aldrig finder.
Jordaan-kvarteret var engang Amsterdams fattigste område, men nu er det det mest eftertragtede sted at bo. Bygget til håndværkere og arbejdere, der lavede deres egen musik og kultur. Siden 1970'erne har kunstnere og unge fagfolk opdaget denne labyrint af små gader og hyggelige caféer.
Keizersgracht, kejserens kanal, står som Amsterdams bredeste berømte kanal. Bygget i den gyldne æra, viser det bevarede købmandshuse, der nu har hyggelige caféer, butikker og gallerier. Træerne eksploderer med farve hver forår.
Det hjørne, hvor Keizersgracht møder Brouwersgracht, skaber det Instagram-spotfotografer jagter efter. To kanaler mødes og giver fire belyste tunneludsigt om natten. Når broens lys tændes, bliver dette ren Amsterdam magi og det perfekte slut på din vandrejse.
Vi snapper en klassisk Polaroid af din gruppe med Amsterdams kanalhuse bag dig. Stick det på dit køleskab og huske den dag, du så Amsterdam som lokalbefolkningen gør - fra vandet, i det rigtige tempo, med gode mennesker.

Meeting point was very easy to find convenient to Amsterdam Centraal. Janna, our captain, reached out to us to reschedule our reservation due to code red heat warning, so we took advantage of an earlier time. As it turned out we were the only 2 on the boat! We had a very pleasant and informative 90 minute cruise. Jannah was very personable and we really appreciated her consideration regarding the schedule. Highly recommended!
10/10. Cute boat, good communication before the trip, and Joshua was sweet, a great host, made it fun, and was like an encyclopedia of knowledge! You cannot ask him a question he doesn’t know. Could’ve cruised around all day!
Please do not overlook this tour!! If you want something quaint and personable versus crowded and loud, this is the tour for you. Our guide grew up in Amsterdam and was very knowledgeable about the area, waterways, nature, etc! She was also very understanding when we could not find the meeting place right away. She helped us find our way! Also- only my husband and I had booked the time we went, so we ended up with a private tour!!
Absolutely amazing experience! A beautiful boat with a knowledgeable captain. They adjusted the journey based on our interests and had lots of fun facts and information about all the sights. They even had dinner recommendations based on where we were going to be later that evening. Highly recommend the quiet and personal experience this tour can give you. Better than any other larger tour that is not catered to your interests.
A very welcoming personal boat trip around the Canals of Amsterdam. It really was perfect. It was decided that whilst being in Amsterdam, one of the "must do`s" is a canal trip, but we did not wish to be herded onto a large boat with plenty of others. We then read a few reviews of this wonderful little tour. As there were not so many reviews, we thought we would take a chance. We can honestly say we made the correct decision. We arrived on the side of the canal early. Diana (the name of the boat) arrived along with Johanna as skipper. From then on, we knew this was going to be great despite the late October grey sky. We expected more people to show up as the trip was advertised for a "small group, with a maximum of 6 people". However, when Johanna got off the boat, she informed us that we were the only ones who had booked. We were informed the small business has only been going since the summer and are happy to take anyone that books the tour, even if it was only going to be 1 person. Therefore, we had the boat to ourselves. Johanna, said for us to be comfortable, relax, kick off the shoes, wrap yourselves in the blankets and pull up the cushions.... which we certainly did. We then had the most amazing tour through the canals of Amsterdam, just what we wanted. Johanna has lived in Amsterdam all her life, so it was interesting chatting with her, getting to know all the facts and how real people from Amsterdam feel about the place and how they live. Thank you, Johanna, for making the trip memorable. We certainly hope more people that visit Amsterdam would choose this way to see the canals. Thank you for helping us make some wonderful memories.
This was one of the best decisions of our first trip to Amsterdam. We wanted a low key experience and a small group setting to explore Amsterdam from the canals - this absolutely delivered. Beer was such a wonderful host - clearly knowledgeable and passionate about his city. We were fortunate enough to have the boat to ourselves, and we had great conversation the whole time. We had so many questions, and Beer was so kind and patient to address every single one. Architecture, the locks, history, real estate, the Red Light District... anything was on topic. True to the description, there was no scripted tour, and no dull moments. We learned so much about the canals and culture of the city. The boat, itself, is beautiful. And because it was small, I felt we could go anywhere, and that we DID go anywhere that supported our questions and conversations. I saw a cat on a house boat, and Beer changed course so I could get a picture, lol. I'd go again on another visit, and feel that I'd see something completely new the next time. My recommendation is to go early in your trip, because then when you are walking the city later, it sparks connections to how you saw the city from the water. They also give you a curated list of places to try across the city - the awesome local places you may not stumble upon with a Google Maps search. If you love living like a local, this is the answer - stop scrolling, this is the canal tour you want!
Truly unique way to experience the canals in a private and boutique experience, friendly guide and you really get to see some Off the Beaten path routes away from the crowd. So much more relaxing, no need to make small talk or share the Boat with strangers. Highly recommend
Hey Jin Ahn! Lovely to meet you and your parents on the boat. I really enjoyed all the questions from your dad too. Hopefully you survived all the culture shocks! kind regards, Beer
Beer led us on a marvellous tour of amsterdamns less busy districts. Very knowledgeable, very friendly, very quiet and serene experience. Highly highly recommended!
Very intimate and informative. Beautiful and quaint small boat that is 100 yrs old. Very relaxing., would book again.
We had a wonderful experience taking the Off The Beaten Path Hidden Gems Canal Cruise on the good ship (OK, boat) Diana. We got a great local’s perspective on life in Amsterdam and lots of information about the various neighborhoods as we cruised around. We saw both the famous canal girdle and the less famous canals and islands. Our little antique boat, populated by just our small party, got plenty of admiring looks from the folks on the more crowded more modern boats. We had a great time.
