Amsterdam Canal Cruise Including Drinks
We're sorry. This tour is no longer available.
Overview
Note!: between 1st of Dec and the 21st of Jan, we also offer the light festival tours in the evening. Very special and only once a year! Book our light festival item!
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!!!

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!

Brian and his lovely boat Vaartuig provided us with an absolutely memorable evening dinner cruise on the Amsterdam canals. We enjoyed a 3 course, 2 hr cruise with Brian. The food and wine were outstanding. The ambience was perfect. Brian's knowledge of the area and his passion for the water, his boat and the surrounding area capped of the perfect evening. This is a "must do" for anyone who wants a special experience while in Amsterdam.NannaLeah

His interest makes it so much better. Bonus, we even stopped to help a stranded boat because that is what good boat captain do. Thank you for the great cruise.Jean M

Brian knew so much and shared his knowledge generously. He could answer all our questions about his beautiful city. He served yummy cheese and wine, olives, tomatoes and pofertjes. He showed us historical maps, played local music and taught us some Dutch. All great!
