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?
I really enjoyed my morning walking tour of the canal district with Historical Tours Amsterdam. Tijs’ knowledge of the city is amazing and he explains fascinating historical details clearly... read more and with enthusiasm. I learned about the reasons why the Amsterdam skyline is as we see it now, why the canal fortifications are necessary to maintain the city and why there is a swan on top of a Protestant domed church. I now understand more about how Amsterdam expanded rapidly from medieval times onwards as trade developed and where the remnants of the old city walls can still be seen. I heard about the story behind the Multatuli statue on the oldest bridge in Amsterdam with a prison below it and the origins of fair trade coffee. Likewise the stories behind the different widths and gable-ends of the houses was so interesting; now I’ll
look at this familiar city through fresh eyes. I highly recommend Tijs as a guide who can add a fun personal touch to a tour of Amsterdam and bring history to life.
