Boat tour along the canals in English

Hop aboard and let Amsterdam tell you its story from the water. An hour cruising the UNESCO World Heritage canals with a local guide. The heart of the city, unfiltered.

DESCRIPTION

Why Amsterdam has captivated the world for centuries. A city steeped in history finds its soul precisely in what made it the center of the world: water. Our Amsterdam canal boat tour places you right at the heart of that history. Aboard Mokumboot’s boats, you’ll sail for an hour along the arteries that transformed this city into the capital of global trade during the Dutch Golden Age. The same waters seen by 17th-century merchants, the painters of the Rijksmuseum, and the residents who today moor their houseboats right before your eyes.

An English-speaking guide accompanies you and explains what you see passing by: the leaning bridges that seem to fit together miraculously, the facades that dance on wooden foundations, the cats peering out of windows, the submerged bicycles that populate the canal bottom. Amsterdam from the water is a different language. And we’ll translate it for you.

On this tour you will sail through:

  • The Herengracht canal — the most exclusive of the Golden Age
  • The legendary 7 bridges in a single glancea
  • The Keizersgracht canal and its 17th-century mansions
  • The Amstel River and the majestic Magere Brug (Skinny Bridge)
  • The Prinsengracht canal—the most bohemian and photogenic
  • The famous dance houses—tilted on purpose, or perhaps not so much
  • The Carré Theatre and the Blauwbrug (Blue Bridge)
  • The Red Light District seen from the water—a unique perspective
