Some of Amsterdam's best views are from the water. An open boat lets you enjoy the canals without windows or a roof between you and the city. Take in the sights, the atmosphere and everyday life along Amsterdam's famous canals.
Discover Amsterdam's canals with a local skipper
Every Open Boat Tour is led by an experienced local skipper who knows Amsterdam's canals inside out. Along the way, you'll hear stories about the city's history, landmarks and everyday life, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and discover places that interest you.
Looking for a famous landmark, a film location or a hidden canal? Just ask. Every tour is a little different, making each cruise a personal experience.
Whether it's your first visit or you're returning to Amsterdam, an Open Boat Tour is a relaxed way to discover the city from the water.
