Not a Typical Cruise Max 10 guests Bites Drinks Local Personal

About this activity

This is NOT a standard canal cruise. Skip the crowds: max 10 guests, local captain as your personal guide, quality drinks and Dutch bites. No big groups or scripts—just real stories, truly different.

With our unique 100% electric 100+ year old boat Giuliana that has both an inside and outside area, has a toilet and is heated in the winter, we will provide an intimate 2-hour cruise.

We will pass all the highlights that Amsterdam has to offer, including the world-famous canal belt, the river Amstel, the old city (red light district), the maritime area and places where large tour boats cannot go.

Along the way we will make a stop to pick up some traditional Dutch fried snacks and we have a cheese platter and Dutch cookies on board while you are enjoying a wide variety of (non) alcoholic drinks including a local spirit (Jenever), Cava/Prosecco and G&T.
