Amsterdam: 1-Hour Canal Cruise

Great value fun canal cruise

I booked this last minute through booking.com. It was in a small comfortable open boat. The cruise guide was informative and friendly and I learnt lots of interesting facts about Amsterdam. I would not hesitate to recommend this cruise to anyone. Excellent value!

Leiden Private Canal Boat Tour with Drinks and Snacks

Custom Windmill Canal Tour

Highly recommend this company for a Leiden canal tour! We requested a custom tour for a group of nine with a focus on windmills. Jonathan delivered a perfect three-hour itinerary starting in the city center that took us out to see nine windmills. Our skipper was very hospitable and highly knowledgeable about the local area, and the team even provided packets with details about each windmill. We were looking forward to the included pizza, beer, and wine and were delighted to see that Jonathan included juices and soft drinks for those in our party who don’t drink alcohol and also surprised us with extra snacks and desserts.

Cruise with Keukenhof Entrance Ticket in Amsterdam Lakes

Perfect combination of activities for a relaxing and beautiful morning

This was a wonderful surprise, we were not expecting the location of the cruise and the boat itself to be so beautiful and relaxing. The captain and the lady distributing the tickets were very friendly and conversational. We are so glad to have been able to do the canal cruise as part of the overall tour. Following the tour, it was only a short drive to Keukenhof which we were blown away by the manicured beauty, orderliness and overall scale of the place. It is well worth taking your time over a couple of hours to casually walk around the huge gardens and just soak up the incredible beauty and attention to detail of the gardens. It was busy but the place is so big that it never felt too crowded, and it flowed nicely through an endless number of paths that meandered through the immaculate gardens.
