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.”
