What to expect

1

The Dancing Houses

The reason the houses in Amsterdam are tilted is because of the soil. The city is built on marshlands, which means that everything heavy sinks right into the soil. Therefore, we started to build upon wooden poles to reach a deeper and more sturdy layer of soil that could support the heavy houses.

2
Zuiderkerkstoren

The Southern Church is another beautiful church designed by Hendrick de Keyser. It was built in between 1603 - 1611.

3
Dutch National Opera & Ballet

Today this area is known as the “Stopera”, a combination of STadhuis (Cityhall in Dutch) and Opera. Together they form the Stopera!

4
Seven Bridges View Point

After the Thorbecke bridge you will see the famous 7 Bridges! If you are lucky, and there are no other boats, you can see 7 identical stone bridges in a row.

5
Herengracht

Admire the stunning mansions along the Golden Bend of the Herengracht, a place renowned for its historical grandeur and lavish architecture.

6

The Amstel

Explore the beauty of Amsterdam from the water as you cruise along the picturesque Amstel River, which has been a lifeline of the city for centuries.

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
