The Amstel is the biggest canal of all, and Amsterdam was founded from this canal which was originally a river. Fisherman builds a "dam" and called is Amsterdam.
Since most canals in Amsterdam make a curve, seeing through so many bridges at once is very rare!
Dutch National Opera (DNO; formerly De Nederlandse Opera, now De Nationale Opera in Dutch) is a Dutch opera company based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Its present home base is the Dutch National Opera & Ballet housed in the Stopera building, a modern building designed by Cees Dam and Wilhelm Holzbauer which opened in 1986.
The three main canals (Herengracht, Prinsengracht, and Keizersgracht), dug in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, form concentric belts around the city, known as the Grachtengordel. Alongside the main canals are 1550 monumental buildings. The 17th-century canal ring area, including the Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht, and Jordaan, were listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010, contributing to Amsterdam's fame as the "Venice of the North"

Olga & Frank were kind and dear, very friendly and told the history of Amsterdam!
It was perfectly done Really good time
The tour operators were fun and engaging. However, the tour started a good 15 minutes late and did not provide as much information/history as I was expecting/have gotten on similar tours in other cities.
Loved everything about this experience! The history was fascinating, our guide was fun and engaging, and everyone was incredibly welcoming. The environment was so relaxing and beautiful, making it the perfect place to unwind. I highly recommend visiting!
Excellent knowledge and funny staff, would highly recommend
Very good experience with interesting insights from Francesca and Frank and the best weather.
Relaxed ride in the best weather.
Really good facts about amsterdam were discussed, engaging boat tour for the one hour
Got very little historical information. The tour guide was more interested in making sure everyone’s wine glass was filled.
Nice boat tour in great weather
