What is Important on a Boat Tour in Amsterdam?

The most important thing to note when planning a boat tour in Amsterdam is to check the exact details of the tour and book it in advance. As the demand for a boat tour in Amsterdam is very high, the most popular tours sell out quickly.

It is important to note that Amsterdam boat tours have a very high cancellation facility in case your plans change or something unexpected happens. Amsterdam boat tours can be canceled from 1 day to 1 hour before departure. You can check for the exact cancellation conditions in the description of the chosen tour before booking. The cancellation procedure is facilitated, and you get a 100% refund.

  • The Boat Tour Routes: Do you want a canal or river route? The canal boat tours go along the city’s most famous sights and around the historical center. The boats are shallow enough to navigate between the shallow and narrow canals. The boat tours in Amsterdam taking the IJ route sail in deeper water and do not pass through the canals. As an advantage, this route offers a great view of the Amsterdam skyline and views of the North and South of the city. The boats on the IJ route are larger, many with 2 decks, and more spacious.
  • Are drinks included? Many of the boat tours offer included drinks. However, the variety of services on board is enormous. Some boat tours include only a certain number of beers. Other options offer unlimited drinks.
  • Is food included? The food service on board a boat tour can be anything from a snack box with typical Dutch cookies, snacks, popcorn, and sweets to a complete 3-course dinner with a choice of meat, fish, and vegetarian menus.
  • What time of year is best? When choosing the time of your boat trip, consider the time of the year. If you intend to do an evening boat tour in summer, the sun usually sets after 9 pm. A boat ride after 4 pm in winter can be considered a nighttime boat ride. Always check the sunset time to ensure the ideal atmosphere to enjoy a day or evening boat tour.
  • Do you want private or shared? There are options for shared and private boat tours in Amsterdam. The shared options are much more affordable and offer an incredible experience. However, if you are traveling with family or friends and have 5-10 people, a private boat trip in Amsterdam can be a viable option.
