Itinerary
We cruise thought the beautiful canals of the Herengracht.
REGULIERSGRACHT (7 BRIDGES): monumental view - The only point in the Amsterdam canals where you can see seven bridges one after the other in a single view
Compared to the other canals, the Prinsengracht is a relatively modest canal. Whereas Herengracht was built and designed for Amsterdam's upper class, Prinsengracht was designed as a transitional canal between the rich canal belt and the working-class neighborhoods (Jordaan) that surrounded them. This can also be seen in the houses on Prinsengracht, which are much more 'sober' compared to the other canals: less wide, and with fewer decorations than on the other canals.
MAGERE BRUG ‘SKINNY BRIDGE’ is the oldest still working, partly wooden, drawbridge in Amsterdam and a National Monument. The Skinny Bridge was built in the 17th century. At that time, the city council was a bit short of money, so they decided not to build an exorbitant bridge, but a cheap (wood instead of stone) and narrow ('skinny') one. The bridge was so narrow that people could hardly pass each other, or they had to be very skinny. The current bridge dates from 1934. Car traffic has not been allowed to cross it since 2003. The Skinny Bridge is Am-sterdam's most famous bridge, and the setting for many films (including James Bond).
HERMITAGE MUSEUM is located in the Amstelhof. The building dates from 1681 and was originally a nursing home (for 300 years). In 2007, the nursing home was converted to a museum. Some rooms were maintained and restored. The Hermitage museum is an annex of the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and shares a part of its art collection with the one in Russia. Together, the two Hermitages have the largest art collection in the world.
BLAUWBRUG ‘BLUE BRIDGE’ owes its name to its predecessor: a drawbridge like the Skinny Bridge, but with blue railings. The current Blauwbrug dates from 1883 and was inspired by the Pont Neuf in Paris. Because of the World Exhibition in Amsterdam in 1883, a new bridge with grand appearance was needed. The crowns on top of the bridge are 'imperial crowns' and are the same crowns as those on the Westerkerk and in the city arms. The crown is the emperor's crown of the holy roman empire, given by Emperor Maxi-milian I in 1489 as thanks for Amsterdam's money support. The emperor's crown is proof that even the great emperor recommended Amsterdam, and therefore very important for trade.

Oh my goodness, this is quite easily the best canal cruise I've ever been on. A small intimate cruise with the most wonderful food and plenty to drink!!! The captain was super friendly and extremely knowledgeable.
Our tour guide was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. He shared the history of the canals with so much enthusiasm, making the experience both fun and informative. He happily answered all of our questions and made us feel engaged throughout the tour. The food and drinks were delicious, and enjoying them while floating along the beautiful canals made the experience even more special. It was such a wonderful outing with my mom, aunt, and cousin, and it's a memory we'll always cherish. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

This was a great activity for us to kick off to a day trip in Amsterdam. The sandwiches and pastries were yummy and the drinks were plentiful. Luke our captain shared lots of great info on Amsterdam. Definitely recommend.
Today Loda was our skipper. He was very knowledgeable about the history. He made the tour fun, interesting and informative. Food was delicious 😋. Would definitely recommend!!!
A wonderful canal cruise! We were the only passengers on the boat (we were told that the Brunch with Bubbles cruises typically have only one of two couples.) As a result, our interaction with our guide was personalized. He was terrific; we thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with him! We have taken Amsterdam canal cruises before, this was different because the boat was much, smaller so we could go on canals the bigger boats could not. Food was good, delicious sandwiches, fresh pastries, fresh fruit and, of course, champagne. We absolutely enjoyed it and feel that it was money well spent.
The itinerary displayed for this cruise did not match the actual cruise. Please don’t expect to see any historic sites or monuments as listed. It’s really just a simple version of a booze cruise. The itinerary mentioned passing by several sites like The Jordaan, Anne frank house, 7 bridges etc. it’s just a simple cruise. When I mentioned to the captain he said that the itinerary was old and hasn’t been updated.
Great experience! The food and drinks were good and there was plenty of them. Onno was a great and humorous tour guide and we learned so much in such short time. Would do again!
Me and my husband had an amazing morning on this hour long cruise captained by the lovely Onno. The brunch and drinks provided were perfect and enjoyed by both of us. Although we didn’t book a private cruise we were the only ones on the boat that morning but I am sure it would have been equally enjoyable with others. Onno was a fantastic host / captain and kept us laughing the entire time as well as giving us a well informed tour of the local area. The cruise, with a plentiful brunch, was well worth the price and was a lovely way to start a day in the city or to celebrate any special occasion. We would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a special but relaxed and casual morning in Amsterdam. Thank you Onno, we hope to see you again in the future!
An amazing experience! Ronald is the consummate Captain & historian The food & beverages were excellent! Highly recommend!!
Great experience with Robby. Lovely spread of food and drink options. Awesome tour of Amsterdam via the canals. Small boat, very intimate.
A wonderful tour around Amsterdam waterways, with a great host and tasty brunch. The sites were amazing to see from this perspective. We really enjoyed the tour, and it was also educational.
What a lovely introduction to Amsterdam! We arrived (from the US) at 8:00 AM and wanted something to do before our hotel room was ready. After dropping off our bags, we went straight to brunch on this canal boat! Wonderful food, presented beautifully - fruit, sandwiches, pastries, and other delights, with a big selection of drinks (alcoholic and non). As we enjoyed the food, our captain took us on an informative, fun, and completely enjoyable ride through some of the main canals of the city. We loved every minute!! We would HIGHLY recommend this experience to all visitors to Amsterdam!
Amazing experience. Nice and chill. The captain was very informative and accommodating. Great way to learn about Amsterdam and relax.
We absolutely loved this tour! We lucked out it just being six of us, so we got a private tour. Luuk, our boat driver and guide was great, pointing out different facts about the neighborhoods we roamed through and answering all our questions. He even kindly provided some restaurant and cafe recommendations at the end. Would recommend!
This was the first boat tour that I took while and Amsterdam. It said the bar pretty high. First of all, it was a small group. I was a solo traveler and was joined two other people from France. Second of all, the boat operator/tour guide was incredible in that he was able to tell us about the city in-depth personally. Other boat tours I’ve been on, you just have to put on headphones or they speak to you over a speaker. On this tour, you could hear him without him using a microphone. There was food and mimosas that were included and also pretty good/abundant. The only thing though is that when I took a different tour later on in the evening, it was a little bit of a letdown as I was expecting something like this. To be honest, I’ve taken multiple boat tours in different cities, and none of them have come close to this one. If you do want to take a boat tour, would highly recommend this one over other ones.
We had a fantastic experience during our Brunch tour experience! Our family had a great time; good food, great captain, bubbles for my wife and I. Kid and adult friendly! 10/10, we highly recommend.🇳🇱
great food and drinks, tour guide provided great history of the city
The food was absolutely delicious, but the real highlight was our operator. Their deep knowledge of Amsterdam’s history added a wonderful layer of depth to the meal, making the entire experience both educational and incredibly fun.
This tour of the canals was just perfect. Lex, the boat captain, was knowledgeable and charming. He did everything he could to make our experience memorable.
Despite the grey sky, the experience was great. The captain, and the guide at the same time, was kind and shared interesting facts about the city. The food and beverage selection was good too. Tip : dress warm.
Our brunch cruise was AMAZING. The food was SO GOOD and the boat was a perfect size for our small group of 3. It was really fun to see Amsterdam from the perspective of being on the canals. We learned about Amsterdam’s history while drinking Prosecco — a combination I highly recommend! We loved our tour guide too. Definitely book this cruise!
The boat trip was lovely we had to wait a bit to board due to a late booking but we were really well looked after the food was brilliant and choice of drinks was superb. The only feedback I had from group would have been nice to had some commentary on where we were going and what we were seeing. We did mention this to the lady on board and she had said she was not given an itinerary so maybe it was just a bit of an error otherwise would totally recommend. Great value
We had an unforgettable time on the Bottomless Brunch Cruise—it was truly an amazing experience. The atmosphere was relaxed yet elegant, with clear attention to detail and a lot of heart poured into both the food and the tour itself. Julian, our captain and guide, welcomed us warmly and made everyone feel completely at ease from the start. The table was beautifully set with fresh flowers, adding a special touch of charm. The food was absolutely delicious and plentiful—everything from breakfast sandwiches and buttery croissants to pastries, yogurt, and fresh fruit. Even the picky eaters in our group found something they loved thanks to the wide variety. And yes, the fresh-squeezed orange juice deserves a special mention—it was fantastic! Julian led the tour in a conversational, easygoing style, giving us plenty of time to ask questions and enjoy what felt like a very personalized experience. I wholeheartedly recommend the Boat Amsterdam Bottomless Brunch Cruise. It’s an experience you won’t regret—and one you’ll probably want to do again!
It was really cozy and a good guide and captain. It was very well organized. We were with his four. At first, we thought there would be multiple passengers on board. But that was not the case. And only we celebrated, it was cozy and very nice that we could talk extensively, brunch and enjoy our ride on the canals of Amsterdam.
We were lucky enough to just be our family and one more person so we basically got a private tour. The brunch was perfectly adequate and filling along with beer and sparkling. Accompanying guide also who both told us about the sights and answered all our questions. Which made the tour both enjoyable and educational. Have nothing to complain about.
