Best Canal Cruise Amsterdam
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.
