Blue Boat Company Amsterdam City Canal Cruise

Amsterdam 1 hour 15 minutes

The number one attraction in Amsterdam and a must do for a first time visitor of our beautiful capital! Amsterdam is best viewed from the water and during this 75-minute canal cruise, you'll understand why. You'll experience the best of the historic city center. Discover the city's top highlights, iconic bridges and the 17th-century buildings lining the canals. You'll come across new architecture and bridges, showing a historical city that is rooted in history but continues to develop and change. While you're enjoying the views that pass you by, you'll listen to an audio guide (available in 20 languages) that tells you everything you need to know about Amsterdam; the stories, legends and historical facts. You can buy snacks and drinks in the ticket office prior boarding. Did you bring the kids? Great! Let them be a 'Fresh water pirate' with the special kids audio commentary including a free goodie bag to enjoy themselves while on board.
