What to expect
The Amsterdam canal tour is a must-do attraction for anyone visiting the city. The tour takes you through the city's 100km of waterways, passing by grand merchant houses, gothic churches, museums, and medieval buildings. You'll see the World Heritage-listed 17th-century canals and the city's iconic architecture, including the Herengracht, Keizersgracht, and Prinsengracht. The tour is enriched by an audio guide in multiple languages and observations from the captain. As you travel through Amsterdam's neighborhoods, such as the Jordaan, the Nine Streets, or the Pijp, you might see sights like the Amstel river, the Anne Frank House, and the iconic Skinny bridge. The city comes alive on the boat tour, and you'll want to keep your camera at hand to capture the beautiful views

AMSTERDAM with family, with children
Activities: We took a boat tour to discover the city while resting. "This grand tour of an hour allows you to discover the small canals, taking your time to admire the beautiful gabled facades of the rich mansions of the 17th century."
Highlights: It was a great alternative to cycling. We could see the beautiful facades. "And for those who have not yet pedaled enough, on sunny days, you can even rent 4-seater pedal boats to stroll with your family on the canals!" ✨

Highlights: The canal boat ride was a lighthearted activity that we all enjoyed, especially after the serious visit to the Anne Frank House ✨
