The Skinny Bridge, known as Magere Brug in Dutch, is an iconic wooden drawbridge located in Amsterdam. Spanning the Amstel River, this picturesque bridge connects the Keizersgracht and the Prinsengracht. Originally built in the late 17th century, it has become a symbol of the city’s charming canals and historic architecture. The bridge earned its nickname, "Skinny Bridge," due to its narrow design, which was a result of the need to accommodate pedestrians while ensuring boat traffic could pass beneath it. It features a charming white wooden structure with traditional Dutch design elements, making it a popular spot for photographs. The Magere Brug is especially enchanting when illuminated at night, providing a romantic backdrop for evening strolls. Visitors can enjoy scenic views of the surrounding canals and nearby buildings, making it a must-see attraction for anyone exploring Amsterdam.
The Canal Area of Amsterdam, known as the "Grachtengordel," is a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its intricate network of canals, charming bridges, and historic architecture. Developed in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, this area encompasses three main canals: Herengracht, Keizersgracht, and Prinsengracht, which are lined with beautifully preserved 17th-century townhouses. The canals are not only picturesque but also functional, having been designed for defense, transportation, and water management. Visitors can explore the canals by boat, enjoying guided tours that offer unique perspectives of the city’s landmarks. In addition to its stunning views, the Canal Area is home to numerous attractions, including vibrant markets, galleries, museums, and cozy cafés. The area is particularly lively in the summer, when locals and tourists alike enjoy leisurely walks along the water or relax at outdoor terraces.
The Rijksmuseum, located in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is one of the most renowned art museums in the world. Designed by architect Pierre Cuypers, the building was inaugurated in 1885. The museum is designed in a Gothic Revival style, characterized by its ornate decorations, pointed arches, and intricate detailing. Cuypers combined elements of Gothic and Renaissance architecture to create a unique aesthetic. Inside, the museum boasts a vast atrium that offers a spacious and airy environment. The galleries are organized thematically and chronologically, showcasing an extensive collection of Dutch art and history. The Rijksmuseum is not only an architectural marvel but also a treasure trove of art, featuring works by masters such as Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Frans Hals.

We booked a dinner cruise for 5 people on boat "Delphine" and we were picked up by an even slightly bigger boat incl restroom. It was a great experience , super chill, everybody loved it and the Food quality was outstanding good. Our skipper was very nice and that tour is highly recommended !
Thank you for the lovely review Holger. Glad you enjoyed the dinner on canal boat Leaudine!
Very disappointing experience with this company. We have a trip to Amsterdam scheduled for May 7 and have reservations for a Private Dinner Cruise with this company. Not Cheap at $631 US! Had to rebook for a different time on the same day due to flight issues... handled by "Vanessa" over the phone and via email very quickly. Asked to confirm by going up on their web page booking site and reserving the new time, however what was conveyed to me by Vanessa with the Rebooking does not confirm with what is offered on their website. I have tried for several weeks to reach her, or anyone at the company, via emails and phone calls but no response. Sadly we have other available time slots but this company (now that they have my money) is silent in response. Just sent an official "cancellation notice" as we have found another company to book with for a magical dinner that evening. If they don't respond, next is a credit card dispute, and a call to the European Consumer Centre of the Netherlands. Let see if I get a response now.
Dear Pat you know as well as me that giving 1 star reviews is not very fair if you have not been one of our guests! Your initial booking was rebooked very accurately according to your request to start later in the day on May 7. A rebooking confirmation was sent immediately. After that we have received one email from you asking us what boat would do the cruise. Since we only have 2 boats ,which are both beautiful and charming, we indeed did not yet answer that question as we have not yet made our planning (it is now half April) .We would appreciate if you delete your negative review about a cruise you have not even experienced. It would also be fair to admit to future customers that your refund email came in 5 minutes after you requested a cancellation. So there is no issue with not being refunded. We only have 5 star reviews as we are always fair in our service and will help our customers wherever we can.
My wife and I celebrated her birthday with a private dinner cruise of Amsterdam's canals on the Delphine. What a special evening! Frederick was our captain, tour guide, maître d, and waiter all rolled into one. It was a gloriously beautiful evening for a cruise, and the dinner and service were equally superb. Each course was delicious as was the wine. But what set the night off from any other was the unique experience of gliding along the canals in this quaint little boat. You can't get much more romantic than this. And to top it off, Frederick dropped us off at our hotel.
Thank you so much for your kind review! Happy you enjoyed the tour and canal boat Delphine
