WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Anne Frank House
Annelies Marie Frank was a Jewish girl from Germany who became known for the diary she wrote during the Second World War when she was in hiding in Amsterdam. She died of exhaustion and / or typhus fever in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp
2. Prinsengracht
Our boats will cruise the Prinsengracht.
3. The Jordaan
The most common theory on the origin of the name is as a derivation of the French word Jardin, meaning garden: most streets and canals in the Jordaan are named after trees and flowers. Another theory is that the Prinsengracht canal was once nicknamed Jordaan (the Dutch name for the river Jordan) and that the neighborhood beyond the canal came to be called this as well. Our Flagship canal tour will start and end here in the Jordaan.
4. Houseboat Museum
Our boats will cruise along with the houseboat museum at the Prinsengracht.
5. 9 Little Streets (Negen Straatjes)
Our boats will cruise along the Negen straatjes.
6. The Amstel
The Amstel is the biggest canal of all, and Amsterdam was founded from this canal which was originally a river. Fisherman builds a "dam" and called is Amsterdam.
7. Blauwbrug
The Blauwbrug (English: Blue bridge) is a historic bridge in Amsterdam, the Netherlands over the river Amstel. It connects the Rembrandtplein area with the Waterlooplein area and lies south to the Stopera.
8. Herengracht
The three main canals (Herengracht, Prinsengracht, and Keizersgracht), dug in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, form concentric belts around the city, known as the Grachtengordel. Alongside the main canals are 1550 monumental buildings. The 17th-century canal ring area, including the Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht, and Jordaan, were listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010, contributing to Amsterdam's fame as the "Venice of the North".
9. Singel
The Singel is a canal in Amsterdam which encircled the city in the Middle Ages. It served as a moat around the city until 1585, when Amsterdam expanded beyond the Singel. The canal runs from the IJ bay, near the Central Station, to the Muntplein square, where it meets the Amstel river. It is now the inner-most canal in Amsterdam's semicircular ring of canals.
10. Magere Brug
One of Amsterdam’s many bridges is the beautiful Magere Brug, known to English speakers at the Skinny Bridge. This wooden drawbridge was once so narrow that it was hard for two pedestrians to pass each other. To cope with increasing traffic on the Amstel, a wider bridge replaced the narrow original in 1871.
11. Munt Tower (Munttoren)
The Munttoren (mint tower) was once part of the Regulierspoort which consisted of a gate with a tower on each side. It was built between 1480 and 1487 as part of the medieval city wall. Back in the 17th century, the tower was used to mint coins.
12. Bloemenmarkt
The Amsterdam Flower Market is the only floating flower market in the world, and one of the most fragrant places of interest of Amsterdam - in all seasons. This unique market exists since 1862. The flower stalls stand on the houseboats and evoke the old days when the market was daily supplied by boat.
13. Museum of the Canals
For centuries here, money has been earned, art created, feasts celebrated and life enjoyed. This is the story that the Museum of the Canals brings to life.
14. Museum of the Canals
The Grachtenhuis is a museum on the Herengracht in Amsterdam dedicated to the 17th-century Amsterdam canals. The museum tells the history of the canal belt through an interactive and multimedia exhibition.
15. Magere Brug
The Magere Brug is a double drawbridge in the center of Amsterdam over the river Amstel.

The crew were entertaining while being very good at giving the customers a history of the city and the canals. Wine flowed freely and I think everyone enjoyed it. The only issue could have been Viator saying meet outside Anne Franke house but we were the opposite side on another canal

Used Flagship for this tour. Wine & cheese was nice. Guide was difficult to hear and understand. Lacked organization. Should have had a microphone.

This was a really nice hour long cruise on a lovely wooden boat.

Don't make the mistake that we did and come out of the wrong entrance at the train station! Follow the signs for Centrum.

After we were all seated we were given a safety drill and then the cruise started. Each couple received a platter of cheese and we were offered a glass of red, white or rose wine or a soft drink. Glasses were frequently topped up.

The 2 young men who did the tour were very knowledgeable, personable and were great guides.

It was a nice way to start our trip in Amsterdam - I should point out if you're looking for a "booze cruise" this is not the trip for you.

However if you're looking for a relaxing trip with lots of highlights I would highly recommend this one.

My friend and I really enjoyed this cruise : first off, we appreciated the type of boat itself as well as its seating arrangements. We found that the cruise was well organized, that its duration was just right and that the cheese and wine options suggested were well paired. Kudos to our host, who delighted us with his knowledge of Amsterdam and interesting trivia. Many thanks to the captain as well :-)

Both tour guides were very good and very humorous. They could have been a bit quicker with the wine though.
