What sets our Amsterdam City Bike Tour apart is the way we guide it. This is not a follow the flag race through traffic. It is a well-paced, well-managed ride designed to help confident cyclists experience Amsterdam like locals do. With a maximum of 15 guests, your guide can keep the group together, choose the most enjoyable cycling lanes, and make space for questions, photos, and real stories along the way. You will get a clear safety briefing at the start, then ride through the city with a guide who shares local insights about Amsterdam’s neighborhoods, history, and everyday bike culture, plus practical tips you can use for the rest of your trip.

Step aboard a glass-topped sightseeing boat with this 1-hour Amsterdam canal cruise, and see the city sights by water. Then, cruise along the city’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed canals to see the "skinny bridge" of Magere Brug, the affluent Golden Bend district, the Anne Frank House and more, as you learn about Amsterdam’s history from an audio guide. Boats depart at frequent intervals from morning till mid-evening. Each boat tour follows a different route, so not all sights are guaranteed to be seen every time. This way, every cruise offers a unique and surprising experience.

The difference between Amsterdam during daytime and Amsterdam during nighttime is literally a difference between night and day. In the evening, as soon as the sun sets, all lights will go on on the bridges and buildings. Amsterdam will transform into one of the most romantic cities in the world. Maybe even more romantic than Paris?? Open boats from April 1st only till November 1st. We often have the beautiful setting of sunset and magical golden hour, the best moment for pictures. In our open boats you will have the best view of the city possible. And with our quiet electric engines, you can indulge in all the sights, sounds, and smells of the city. Add one of our lovely drinks and typical Dutch bites with that. And you have a perfect night on the canals.
