About this experience
Amsterdam is built to be seen from the water and looks entirely different from it — you go under the bridges rather than over them, and the houses lean in.
A private boat with a skipper, a host running a guided tasting of aged Dutch cheeses with genever alongside, and two and a half hours through the ring canals and the harbour.
Highlights
- Private saloon boat with skipper
- Guided tasting of five aged Dutch cheeses
- Genever and craft beer pairings
- Covered and heated — runs year round
