Offbeat canal cruise

To go on an Amsterdam canal cruise or not? Are you having doubts about it because it might be too dull and touristy? No need to worry about that with Those Dam Boat Guys. Be warned, though; their cruises are a completely different ball game.

“You won’t forget a Those Dam Boat Guys canal cruise in a hurry. If you go along, you’ll know why.”

The name Those Dam Boat Guys will already suggest that this isn’t going to be a boring boat trip. In fact, it’s a cruise you’ll never forget because you can take your own drinks along with you. The meeting point is Café Wester on the Prinsengracht. The cruise route depends on the boat guy and he is not one for following a standard script. He’ll take you to the places he thinks you need to see.

Hey, did you know?

Amsterdam’s 17th century canals have been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2010. The Grachtenmuseum is an interesting museum where you can learn all about the canals. Highly recommended!
