Cozy Amsterdam winter canal cruise with Dutch snacks, unlimited drinks, warm boats, and lively local stories in a small group.

“Lovely small boat for only 12 people. Sophisticated tour with drinks and nice finger food. The guide is an interesting person, unconventional storyteller. Loved the stop for meatballs + demo on how to eat them. Just a bit warmer (totally closed boat) would be preferred.”
