Lovely Boat Tour

Our guide was friendly and enthusiastic. We greatly enjoyed his commentary on the history of the canals and the development of Amsterdam since the 1300s. The boat was small and cozy. Would book again!

I searched high and low for the perfect private boat tour in Amsterdam. Since this was our first trip to the city, I wanted it to be special and romantic. Private Boat Tour Amsterdam was an exceptional find. It was absolutely perfect. We had the Delphine, captained by Frederik. The boat was the perfect size—intimate, comfortable, and elegant. I knew we were going to have a fabulous evening when Frederik contacted me beforehand to say he was nearby and could pick us up directly at our Airbnb instead of having us travel to the pier where we were originally supposed to meet. The dock was on the Keizersgracht, right outside our door in the Jordaan, and Frederik picked us up there. Perfection. Frederik was an incredible guide. A lifelong resident of Amsterdam, he navigated the canals effortlessly and at the perfect pace, allowing us to absorb the beauty, elegance, and history of the city around us. We enjoyed wine, champagne, snacks, and bitterballen as we traveled through tiny canals beneath a beautiful late-summer sky. Frederik shared stories, both historical and personal, that gave us a profound appreciation for this remarkable city. I'd highly recommend checking the sunset time when booking. Our tour was perfectly timed to watch the sun set over the canals and then see them slowly light up as evening enveloped the water and canal houses. It was poetic and beautiful. There are TONS of boat tours available in Amsterdam. There are none like this one. Trust me. And if you can, request Frederik! Tour duration 1–2 hr
