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!

The explanations were understandable, varied, and really interesting. You could tell that Joey has a lot of knowledge and does her job with joy. **Many thanks to Joey for this great and informative canal cruise – absolutely recommended!** We would do the tour again anytime. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great canal cruise with Sanja

Our canal cruise with Amsterdamliebe and the lovely Sania was great! Fun, interesting, and truly recommended. Relaxed atmosphere, plenty of drinks and umbrellas are also on board. We are glad we did this first and then continued on foot. Sania gives you some valuable tips on the way about what else there is to see, or if you are looking for something specific, she also has some recommendations. Thanks for the great experience 🫶🏼

Great provider for high-quality canal cruises

We did a canal cruise with Amsterdamliebe as part of a team event and can recommend the provider without reservation! The organization in advance was already excellent. The communication was fast, friendly, and very reliable at all times. We were particularly impressed by how flexibly the team reacted to our last-minute changes to the plan. Due to the extreme heat, we had to postpone the originally planned time, and that was made possible without any complications; a big thank you again for that! Our guide Sanja was simply great. She accompanied the tour with a lot of charm, humor, and enthusiasm and told exciting stories about Amsterdam, the canals, and the city's history. The information was presented in an interesting and entertaining way, so the feeling of a "classic city tour" never came up. At the same time, the tour was very interactive, relaxed, and really fun. The captain was also extremely friendly and attentive. He was happy to answer our questions and was even able to address more specific questions about the canals and boat handling. The canal cruise itself was a real highlight. Experiencing Amsterdam from the water is simply something special. You discover beautiful house facades, historic bridges, and many corners of the city from a completely new perspective. The fact that the route was also adapted to the weather conditions and a shadier route was taken made the tour even more pleasant. We had booked a private boat with unlimited drinks; for our team event, that was naturally a great atmosphere. However, a completely private boat is on the more expensive side and, in retrospect, perhaps not absolutely necessary. However, that does not diminish our rating of the provider at all. Amsterdamliebe stands out above all for its excellent service, great guides, and all-around professional organization. We would book a tour there again anytime and can recommend the provider to anyone who wants to experience Amsterdam on the canals. Many thanks to Sanja, the captain, and the entire Amsterdamliebe team for this completely successful experience!

A boat trip that is fun.

A beautiful and informative boat tour. Our tour guide Sanja was very competent and could also answer questions outside of her normal tour very well. Great tour, the drinks were plentiful, and when something ran out, everything was quickly replenished. From me, a clear 10 out of 10, thank you Sanja.

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. ☺️
