Amsterdam Canal Cruise Including Drinks
Overview
My wife and I started a boat company called "Vaartuig Amsterdam". The tours we provide are as intimate, personal and real as they can get. With a maximum of only 8 guests you are basically on a boat with friends. If you don't like gimmick captains/guides with the bad jokes, this is your tour. You'll see smaller cozy canals the big tourist boats can't get to. We'll cover all of the famous canal area's and get to know its history and facts. All from the perspective of a native ;-) This tour is on our lovely boat called the "Zavi". Heated and covered on rainy days or with an open sun deck on sunny days. The "Zavi" has a toilet and a bar as well which are included.
Looking forward having you on board!!!
Ps: For private dinner cruises or other tours please visit our website (Our company name Vaartuig Amsterdam)

What a wonderful way to see Amsterdam! We couldn’t have asked for a more delightful afternoon…floating through the canals, drinking wine and eating local cheese, and learning about the city’s history and culture. Our captain and guide was a gracious host! Highly recommended!
