Amsterdam Luxury Canal Cruise + Unlimited Drinks & Bites option - Jordaan, Prinsengracht, and the Anne Frank House

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 30,518 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $18Our pick

Review of Amsterdam’s electric canal cruise, with landmark views, live guides, blankets, boat tips, drinks, snacks, value, and winter advice.

“The tour was a little hard to find but lucky for us, it started late. Seemed the captain needed a break to have a cigarette before his next tour which would have been okay but we had a museum time slot booked which made us anxious but we made it after all. The tour guide was nice but a little awkward and didn’t seem to have a clear set plan to explain everything. The tour had unlimited food and drinks…. Option, key word here. Many of us did not select the option and thought it was included which is our bad but knowing it was more than just our group…”

Amsterdam Luxury Boutique Boat tour with Unlimited Beer and Wine

13.Amsterdam Luxury Boutique Boat tour with Unlimited Beer and Wine

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 156 reviews · 40 to 45 minutes (approx.) · from $18

Review of Amsterdam’s short canal cruise with unlimited beer, wine, and soft drinks, Red Light District views, guides, price tips, and key drawbacks.

“My wife and I pre-booked a canal boat trip with E Boats Amsterdam departing at 18:00 on the 29th of June. We were at the arranged pickup point approximately 20 minutes before departure, but to our big disappointment they didn’t show up. The money for the trip (42€) was deducted but no information about a cancellation or delay was provided from the arranger. After waiting an additional 10-15 minutes or so, we decided to go with another boat company, Friendship, who were awesome and whom I would warmly recommend. I’ve emailed E Boats requesting a full and prompt refund, but I don’t hold out much hope.”
