Make your own way to one of four departure points—Central Station, Anne Frank House, Rijksmuseum, Leidse Square—at your chosen time and settle into your glass-topped canal boat for a relaxing journey along Amsterdam’s UNESCO-listed waterways.

Watch the landscape pass by while the audio guide fills you in on Amsterdam’s history and interesting details about its landmarks. Cruise under pretty bridges, past 17th-century merchant houses, and by landmarks, including the Anne Frank House (Anne Frank Huis), Westerkerk (Western Church), De 9 Straatjes, Van Gogh Museum, and Rijksmuseum.

After you’ve soaked up the city’s sights from the water, return to dry land back at your original point of departure.
