Combine your Medieval Amsterdam Tour with a boat cruise in the Amsterdam canals. After a 2 hour walk in the historical heart of the city we board an open electric boat for a relaxing 70 minute cruise. This walk and cruise gives you the opportunity to discover Amsterdam both on foot and in from the water.
Your private guide will meet you at the Amsterdam Central Station. From this former harbor front we walk into the centuries old alleys and streets. We visit a medieval courtyard and pass over 500 years old city gates.
With your private guide you will discover the quiet side of Amsterdam. In the many secluded courtyards hides an oasis of tranquility. How does this tradition of affordable housing ring on in Amsterdam today?
After this walk back in time we board a fully equipped electric open boat. We share the boat with other passengers and the drinks aboard are included. The boat also has a toilet aboard. Your guide will accompany you on the cruise and tell you all the ins and outs of the historical canal ring.
What better way to discover the Amsterdam canals than on a boat?
