Description

Experience Amsterdams unique flair on a comfortable small boat that will take you through the beautiful canals. Enjoy unlimited drinks (beer, wine, soft drinks) while listening to facts about the city's remarkable history and culture - fully in German. On your maritime journey, you will pass 17th-century canal houses, numerous picturesque bridges, and the most important sights. In addition to the captain, a native German city guide will be on board to narrate the canal trip live in a personal and passionate manner, without the use of headphones. Lean back and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, and let the city impress you from the (half-)open boat. The tour will take place in any weather conditions, as the boat can be adapted to the weather. In addition, the boat is equipped with an electric motor, which allows for a quiet and environmentally friendly journey. Sailing through the canals of the city is the Amsterdam way of living. Come and experience this authentic Dutch experience!

Canal cruise with Sanja

Absolute recommendation! This canal cruise was simply a highlight. Especially our guide Sanja was a real stroke of luck – friendly, authentic, and with an incredibly positive aura. It was immediately clear that she was very enthusiastic about it. She had an answer to every question and provided not only the classic information but also a lot of exciting insider knowledge. The atmosphere on board was simply fantastic – there was singing, drinking, a lot of laughter, and it is rumored that even kissing occurred 😉 Thanks to our great skipper (I believe his name was Roland), who maneuvered the boat safely and confidently through the canals. And a very special thank you again to the lovely Sanja! From start to finish, simply top-notch – we would do it again anytime!

Super friendly, great atmosphere, and a cool panoramic view of Amsterdam 🫰🏻

The tour guide was SANJA, a cool person! Sympathetic, funny, and laid-back, she showed us many beautiful things, including a few lovely places, and showed us everything. I particularly liked that one could book a German tour and really understood everything easily; many impressions, and the sun came out just perfectly! ☺️ Thank you for everything! One can ask questions; drinks on board include Fanta, Coke, beer, wine, and water. Beforehand, our tour was first canceled, and we were super kindly contacted on WhatsApp, and for the same day, new appointments were simply given 1-2 hours later where they planned us in; one should just get back to them, so really great service. ☺️

The information about the entry on TripAdvisor was incorrect. However, our guide Leoni called us, and we were picked up.

A fun canal tour with great service.

Amsterdam Love

We did two tours with dear Sanja, a private bike tour with food stops and a canal ride. Sanja was extremely kind and informative. Even with her friendly charm she took my children with her and aroused her interest. Highly recommended, Sanja has accompanied us perfectly.

Absolutely recommendable

The canal cruise was a real highlight! Guide INES has made the tour lively and entertaining with her friendly nature, knowledge and lots of charm. My 11-year-old daughter, who did not feel like this boat trip at first, was thrilled afterwards.

Das freut uns sehr! Danke dir liebe Sabrina! 🥰🌷
