Best Canal Cruise Amsterdam

Amsterdam, Aruba

Get Planning! →

Note!: between 1st of Dec and the 21st of Jan, we also offer the light festival tours in the evening. Very special and only once a year! Book our light festival item!
My wife and I started a boat company called "Vaartuig Amsterdam". The tours we provide are as intimate, personal and real as they can get. With a maximum of only 8 guests you are basically on a boat with friends. If you don't like gimmick captains/guides with the bad jokes, this is your tour. You'll see smaller cozy canals the big tourist boats can't get to. We'll cover all of the famous canal area's and get to know its history and facts. All from the perspective of a native ;-) This tour is on our lovely boat called the "Zavi". Heated and covered on rainy days or with an open sun deck on sunny days. The "Zavi" has a toilet and a bar as well which are included.
Looking forward having you on board!!!
Ps: For private dinner cruises or other tours please visit our website (Our company name Vaartuig Amsterdam)
