Find Cosy & Fun Boat Tours in Amsterdam

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pure Boats was hands down the best experience we had in Amsterdam. If you're trying to decide which canal cruise to book, this is the one. Our skipper, Benjamin, was absolutely outstanding. He was professional, welcoming, hilarious, and an incredible storyteller. His knowledge of Amsterdam's history was amazing. He made the entire experience feel personal and memorable. The boat itself was beautiful, elegant, and so comfortable. Cruising through the canals with a wonderful glass of wine and a delicious cheese platter while taking in the city was simply magical. Every detail was perfect. We've traveled extensively, and this wasn't just another tourist activity, it was a truly special experience. I can't recommend Pure Boats highly enough. If you're visiting Amsterdam, don't miss this. It was, without a doubt, the highlight of our trip.”

“Nuno and Kim were fantastic hosts, learned a lot and had a wonderful experience!”

“Cool relaxed experience Watching the city from the canal level Highly recommended Anzo was very helpful and informative”

“Ave and Julius were great - we appreciated the detailed instructions / guidance given to us and the quality of the boat was A++++ Highly recommend”

“This canal tour was one of the highlights of our time in Amsterdam. Captain Julia was warm, engaging, and shared plenty of interesting facts and stories throughout the cruise, making the city come alive from the water. The route covered an incredible variety of Amsterdam's iconic landmarks, including the beautiful Amstel River, the famous Skinny Bridge, the Dancing Houses, Waterlooplein, the Red Light District, Oude Kerk, De Waag, Montelbaanstoren, NEMO, the Maritime Museum, Hortus Botanicus, and the stunning Seven Bridges Canal. We also loved exploring the Eastern Docklands and learning about Amsterdam's rich maritime history while cruising through parts of the UNESCO-listed Canal Belt. The pace was relaxed, the views were spectacular, and seeing the city from the canals gave us a completely different perspective than walking the streets. If you're looking for an informative, scenic, and enjoyable way to experience Amsterdam, I highly recommend taking a canal tour with Captain Julia!”

Captain Benjamin shared lots of interesting facts about the city in a fun and informal way. You could really tell that he loves what he does, and his enthusiasm made the tour even more enjoyable. There was also a great selection of drinks and snacks on board. We would definitely recommend this canal cruise to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing experience!”

“Support Local! The Duke was a great guide and I learned a lot about the city. Would recommend to anyone visiting Amsterdam!!”

“John was so friendly and amazing!”

“Good tour. 9:30pm is a good option.”

“Fun, personal experience my whole family (kids 11 and 13) enjoyed. We took a private tour with Aaron, who shared lots of unique experience and facts about Amsterdam history and modern-day culture. Though unfortunately it was rainy at the start, he was well prepared for the weather with boat covers and blankets, so we were very comfortable on the trip. We got a thorough view of classic tourist sights, as well as quieter neighborhoods -- plus a backdoor view to the giraffes at the zoo!”

“Peter and Victor were great, charming guides and very accommodating!”

“We had such an amazing time with Sebi during our boat tour. It was extremely comfortable and Sebi provided us with such interesting facts and stories about Amsterdam. I’m really glad we went on a 2 hour tour because 1 hour definitely wouldn’t have been enough. We will do this again!”

“Wonderful experience and a very chill atmosphere. Was a part of a friend group who took the canal tour and it was just a nice night tour that allowed us to chit chat and sip on wine. Really can't beat it!”

“Deidrick!!!! WOW he was amazing:)) we learned so much history and had the most amazing tour. He was so kind and knowledgeable 100% will recommend and go again when we are next in town!!”
