Cruise the Amsterdam canals by private boat

For the first or last day or evening of your stay in Amsterdam, we highly recommend taking a private canal cruise so you can soak in the lights and sights while sitting back and relaxing (after all of that walking or cycling!).

We can offer you a cruise on a private boat with your own captain and bubbles (optional). This is the most romantic way to cruise through the UNESCO World Heritage site – Amsterdam’s ‘grachten’. A basic cruise takes 1.5 hours.

And if you’d like to make it even more of a special evening, we can organize a 3-hour luxury dinner cruise or just with pizzas – perfect for families and small groups.

Boat cruises along the canals are also perfect for company outings. We can offer larger private boats to accommodate your group of up to 40 people.

Based on reviews, I booked three separate private tours with Toms a few months before our arrival. Tom was patient with all of my emailed questions and helped me book the right tours for our family. We did a canal cruise, a walking tour of the city, and a countryside tour of Marken and Edam. Our evening canal cruise on the night of our arrival was a nice way to see the city from the water.
