*Spritz Special Alert!* Enjoy a free Aperol Spritz from all open boat tour departures from Leidseplein. Pick up your complimentary Aperol Spritz from the Spritz Bar prior to or after your tour, bring it aboard in a to-go cup and relax on the canals with a Spritz in hand. Non-alcoholic options are also available for children.

Unlike crowded canal boats, our small open boats allow you to soak in the fresh air and stunning canal-side views in total comfort. Due to the boats sizes; discover a new side to Amsterdam as you glide into hidden waterways where few tours go and that the bigger cruises simply cannot access.

Your private captain, and guide to the city, isn’t just steering the boat; they’re unveiling Amsterdam’s secrets, from its most famous landmarks to hidden gems that most visitors never discover.

Raise a glass as you pass under Amsterdam’s romantic bridges, while your skipper shares insider stories about life on the canals aboard our Open Boat Tour With Drinks option. Stay refreshed aboard our tour with your choice of beer, wine, water, or soft drinks.

Pick the perfect departure point for your adventure: Damrak, or Rijksmuseum, both offering you a different perspective of the city. But don’t wait too long—seats are limited, and this is an experience you won’t want to miss. Book now and see why exploring Amsterdam by open boat is the city’s best-kept secret!
