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
