An incredible experience with Meia and Mikk who took us through the canals of Amsterdam. They had great knowledge of the area which made the hour trip one of the highlights of our time in Amsterdam. We booked the experience at 2:15pm and had another duo with us. The experience was great value for money for unlimited drinks as they took us through various areas of Amsterdam and told us about the history. The hosts were kind and hospitable and made the experience a delight. I would recommend this to anyone and it truly made our trip amazing

Itinerary
Start your cruise in one of the oldest parts of the city. These narrow canals date back to the 14th century and are only accessible by small boats — a peaceful hidden corner of medieval Amsterdam.
Drift through quiet canals once used by monks and merchants. Surrounded by 17th-century houses and bridges, this area still feels like the Amsterdam of centuries ago.
Built in 1306, the Oude Kerk is Amsterdam’s oldest building. Hear stories of its transformation from a Catholic church to a Calvinist landmark — and its unexpected place in the middle of the Red Light District.
See the grand Neo-Renaissance station from the water — designed by Pierre Cuypers (who also built the Rijksmuseum), it once caused outrage for blocking the city’s view of the IJ.
Sail beneath the striking green rooftop designed by architect Renzo Piano. This building rises from the old shipyard docks where Amsterdam's industrial harbor once thrived.
Pass a replica of the 18th-century VOC ship Amsterdam, symbol of Dutch maritime power. The museum itself was once the naval warehouse of the Admiralty, storing gunpowder, sails, and rope.
As you reach the Amstel, the canals open up. This broad river once marked the edge of the medieval city and was essential to trade and transport.
Sail past the prestigious “Golden Bend,” where Amsterdam’s richest merchants built their grand canal mansions during the 17th-century Dutch Golden Age. These houses, with their ornate facades and deep plots, were a clear display of wealth and power.
Ontdek een van de meest betoverende uitzichten van Amsterdam: de iconische Zeven Bruggen! Terwijl we rustig door de romantische Reguliersgracht varen, zie je alle zeven historische bruggen prachtig op één lijn – een écht fotomoment. Vergeet je camera niet!
Near the flower market, you’ll spot the Munttoren, once part of the city wall. In the 17th century, it was used to mint coins when the French blocked silver deliveries to the Dutch Republic.
This iconic white wooden drawbridge is one of the most romantic spots in the city. According to local legend, couples who kiss while passing under the Magere Brug will stay together forever. The original bridge was so narrow that two pedestrians could barely pass each other — giving it the nickname “Skinny Bridge.”

Very fun and informative!! The guides Meia and Mikk were lots of fun to talk to and very knowledgeable. They took us to many parts of the city we had not yet seen on foot. There were not many others on our cruise which made it very easy to ask questions and take photos as well!
It was a nice boat trip and the guides and captain were competent and helpful. The boat however is open with a little roof on top and therefore I recommend either putting on thick enough clothes in winter or going in the summer.
We went with ties and Kat they where very nice we enjoyed
Had the best time!! Both guides were so kinda and easy to get along with, made the experience of seeing the city from the water so much better!
Amazing! We loved them! They were so kind and knowledgeable!
Meia snd Nikk were fantastic!

Very nice and distractive guids ! 💪😍
Amazing trip with amazing tour guides. This tour was beautiful and Tuana and Ties taught us so much about Amsterdam and the canals. It was beautiful and the hour long journey was the perfect amount of time for us! The unlimited drinks were also brilliant. Thank you so much, would definitely come again.
The night trip was moving. Berta is a true professional: attentive without being intrusive, and she tells the story of Amsterdam without ever seeming to repeat herself or get bored. She has real charisma, and we loved it.
We had the best time on the canal crusie 10/10 must do while in Amsterdam. Berta and Mikk did a great job giving us the history while keeping us hydrated 😉
Louise and Mikk were fantastic. We did the trip on the 27th October at 6.30pm and it was beautiful. The hosts made us feel incredibly welcome, the tour and locations were picturesque. I'd definitely recommend the trip. I'd go as far to do it again.
An absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! Tuana was an absolutely incredible host, super engaging, interactive, and full of interesting information that made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Frank, our skipper, was amazing as well. He was was an exceptional captain and made us feel completely comfortable throughout. Both went above and beyond to make the experience memorable. Easily one of the highlights of our trip and something I would highly recommend to anyone!

Even in the rain, this ride was so much fun! If you're in Amsterdam, this is a must-do. Bring your appetite because you can get the cheese and beverages option when you're buying your tickets. We would easily do this again.

Awesome tour! Tuana and Milek were very informative and accommodating. So fun to see the sights with bits of trivia from the guides l.
We had a fantastic time on the boat ride with Alexandra and Stephan! The atmosphere was incredibly friendly and relaxed, with around 10 people on the boat, which made the experience feel really personal and enjoyable. The ride lasted about one hour and cost around €32 per person, which we felt was absolutely worth it. Alexandra and Stephan were both lovely, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. Beautiful views, great company, and a fantastic atmosphere from start to finish. We would definitely recommend this boat ride to anyone visiting Amsterdam. Thank you, Alexandra and Stephan, for such a wonderful experience!
We had such a great experience with Amsterdam Boat Trips! Ties and Mikk were fantastic hosts — super friendly, relaxed and knowledgeable, and they made the whole trip feel really personal rather than like a typical tourist cruise. It was such a fun way to see Amsterdam from the canals, with a great atmosphere from start to finish. They shared interesting stories about the city, answered all our questions and made everyone feel welcome. One of the highlights of our time in Amsterdam. Would 100% recommend this boat trip to anyone visiting the city. Thanks again Ties & Mikk! 🚤🇳🇱
A really nice tour ! Ties and Mikk were perfect as guides !

Had a great tour with Mikk and Ties!
Mick and Ties were a great host and skipper pair! So energetic and bubbly! Made the experience so fun!
Shout out to Mikk and Ties our guides on the tour, great commentary although sometimes a bit hard to hear being at other end of the boat. Otherwise great value for money
