In short
Experience Amsterdam as it was meant to be seen: from the water. With Club Amstel's private canal tour, you cruise exclusively past the city's most beautiful canals and sights, aboard this classic saloon boat and guided by an experienced skipper who knows the stories behind the city.
The experience
The cityfrom the water.
The Amsterdam canal ring has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2010, and there is no better way to experience this 17th-century history than from the water itself. With a private canal tour by Club Amstel, you don't sail among dozens of strangers on a large tour boat, but exclusively with your own party on board.
You choose from three carefully composed routes. The Classic Canal Route leads along the Prinsengracht, Herengracht and Keizersgracht, the heart of the canal ring. The Plantage Route takes you past green highlights such as Artis and the Hortus Botanicus. The Amstel Route follows the river Amstel, past the Magere Brug and the Royal Theatre Carré.
A canal tour is ideal for anyone who wants to discover Amsterdam in a personal, unhurried way: tourists, expats, guests from out of town, or Amsterdammers who want to see their own city from a new perspective. The tour can be extended with drinks or bites on board, for a complete day or evening out.
