Full description

Amsterdam’s UNESCO-listed canal ring is at its most atmospheric in the evening, when bridges light up and the gabled houses reflect on the water. This cruise takes you through the historic centre on a comfortable boat, with commentary on the city’s golden-age history and quirky architecture.

Drinks are served on board, typically a choice of wine, beer and soft drinks, with light snacks depending on the option you choose. This tour is booked by enquiry: we confirm availability and the final price before you pay.
