Description

The difference between Amsterdam during daytime and Amsterdam during nighttime is literally a difference between night and day. In the evening, as soon as the sun sets, all lights will go on on the bridges and buildings. Amsterdam will transform into one of the most romantic cities in the world. Maybe even more romantic than Paris?? Open boats from April 1st only till November 1st. English not your first language; we also have a free audioguide in 9 languages available! We often have the beautiful setting of sunset and magical golden hour, the best moment for pictures. In our open boats you will have the best view of the city possible. And with our quiet electric engines, you can indulge in all the sights, sounds, and smells of the city. Add one of our lovely drinks and typical Dutch bites with that. And you have a perfect night on the canals.

Nice evening on the canals.

This was a really nice evening cruise of the canals, definitely worth it. The snacks were a little lacking but OK. We wound up on a full boat so the ride was fairly crowded and included some children (but they were mostly well behaved).

Captain Tim is great!

Captain Tim has lived his entire life in Amsterdam. As such, he has first hand knowledge of much of what he covers in the tour. It's a pleasant trip around the canals with enough time to relax and enjoy the views.
