Why take this tour?

Explore Amsterdam like a local

With over 100 km of canals and river, not all the canals can be reached by the regular canal cruise boats, especially those that are too slim. To discover these smaller and older canals a smaller boat is needed, smaller boats such as the Cruise Like a Local open boats are perfect for these canals. As smaller boats are used for this cruise, you can expect a very different experience then on a regular boat tour.

This 60 minute boat trip will take you on a journey through Amsterdam’s picturesque canal belt that was constructed during the 17th century, the golden age of the Netherlands, and is lined with the iconic merchant houses. You will sail through famous waterways including the Prinsengracht, Herengracht and the Keizersgracht as well as some of the narrower canals that can be found in the Red Light District.

What’s included?

  • A one-hour boat trip on the UNESCO Heritage canal ring of Amsterdam
