As you sail through the Herengracht, witness the area where the rich merchants once resided in the 16th and 17th Centuries.

The Canal Ring (Grachtengordel) whispers tales of love and history, whereas the Bridge of Love and tales from the medieval tower stir the air with romance. Meanwhile, Prinsengracht's lined houseboats paint a serene picture of modern life amidst historic beauty. Pause under the Magere Brug, where a kiss seals love stories framed by the soft glow of city lights.
As you hover through the Unesco-protected Canal Ring, feel the pulse of the Golden Age, its legacy mirrored in the water. Past the majestic facade of the Koninklijk Theater Carre, stories of spectacle and drama echo. Amsterdam's layers unfold along the Singel, its old defensive moat. The city's historic heart welcomes you, with every turn offering a new chapter in its story, waiting for your discovery.

Our captain was amazing... very friendly, knowledgable and piloted the boat expertly! Would recommend this romantic trip to any couple wanting to spoil yourself - my wife treated me for my birthday and also ordered a bottle of champagne to make this super special!

Amsterdam is an amazing city, very vibrant and something for everyone! Very romantic with an abundance of museums, eateries and places to have a drink, and of course if you want to visit a coffee shop there's plenty of them to choose from.

Our experience with the Canal Cruise was exceptional. I booked a 45 minute session to celebrate a two-year anniversary with my girlfriend and we were immediately greeted with Valentijn Dirk’s warmth and positivity. The setup was comfortable (blankets and pillows were provided) and we were given the perfect amount of snacks to munch on during our cruise, but it was Valentijn who really made the experience one to remember. He shared so many interesting stories about the rich history and culture of Amsterdam, while also very intentionally creating opportunities for my girlfriend and I to connect and bond more deeply. He has a knack for storytelling and inspired us with such authentic and joyful energy. Highly recommend!

I booked the private canal cruise for my husbands 30th birthday while we were in Amsterdam and it was definitely the highlight of our trip. Our driver “Joe” was brilliant, he was extremely polite and an absolute pleasure to be around. The whole experience was excellent and I would 100% recommend to everyone

We had the best time on our canal ride. Our boat captain was so kind and knowledgeable. He made sure that we were completely comfortable (dry and warm), and provided us with the romantic history of the Amsterdam bridges. We also ordered a bottle of champagne which made the cruise even more enjoyable. Highly recommend.

We had a spectacular evening enjoying the views of Amsterdam from the canals. Normally I get motion sick on boats but because it was just us in the boat and the river/canal is so smooth I felt fine, even after some drinking. The guide was incredibly friendly and informative. My wife peppered him with many questions and he was happy to answer them all. But when we wanted to just sit and enjoy each other and Amsterdam, he would play soft music without us even asking. He had a great understanding of the vibe we wanted. 90 minutes was a great amount of time, especially around sunset so we could get lots of pictures from the boat during the golden hour. The guide could tell us the history of a lot of the buildings and local architecture. There were so many wonderful snacks too. Overall I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.
