Amsterdam Luxury Boutique Boat tour with Unlimited Beer and Wine

3.Amsterdam Luxury Boutique Boat tour with Unlimited Beer and Wine

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 156 reviews · 40 to 45 minutes (approx.) · from $18Best value

You’ll spend about 40 to 45 minutes on an English-guided Amsterdam canal cruise, passing De Wallen, Rembrandt House, Oude Kerk, and Magere Brug. Guides such as Justin, Butter, Ben, and Josua have led lively outings, while the beer, wine, and soft-drink bar costs extra and should be confirmed before boarding.

“My wife and I pre-booked a canal boat trip with E Boats Amsterdam departing at 18:00 on the 29th of June. We were at the arranged pickup point approximately 20 minutes before departure, but to our big disappointment they didn’t show up. The money for the trip (42€) was deducted but no information about a cancellation or delay was provided from the arranger. After waiting an additional 10-15 minutes or so, we decided to go with another boat company, Friendship, who were awesome and whom I would warmly recommend. I’ve emailed E Boats requesting a full and prompt refund, but I don’t hold out much hope.”

At each brewery you'll taste three delicious craft beers after which the Brew bus will take you to the next brewery. In the bus the guide will tell you interesting and funny facts about beer and Amsterdam. I did the tour with some friends, but you can also do it on your own because you're guaranteed to get to know people during the tour. In short: great tour if you are into craft beer!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 19 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $30

Meet your beer guide at ClinkNOORD, behind Amsterdam Central Station, for five Dutch beer tasters, Dutch cheese, sausage, and mixed nuts. Over one hour, you’ll hear stories about Amsterdam and local brewing. The group is capped at 15, making it easy to chat with fellow beer fans.

“Our guide arrived a couple of minutes after the event was supposed to start and she never really recovered. (apparently her bus was late, it happens) We tasted several good beers and had some nice snacks - but four of the five beers were from the same brewery and the guide didn't do much beyond serving us and reading the labels. She also didn't do anything to encourage the attendees to chat and mingle. The location was also odd - the basement cafeteria of a youth hostel - not a bad space exactly but it certainly didn't make you want to linger. Also wasn't ideal that the hostel folks were…”

You and up to five friends pedal a mobile bar from Breugem Beer near NDSM in Amsterdam North. A sober driver handles the bike while you enjoy beer and prosecco for 90 minutes. Expect a party ride through an industrial area, not a central Amsterdam sightseeing tour.

“Oh it was BRILLIANT! So much alcohol provided and perfect amount of time! Only downfall is the route is through an industrial estate, rather than sight seeing but that’s not their fault. I would absolutely do it again!”
