Amsterdam canal tour suggestions
I will be in Amsterdam with my family in June and would like to take a canal tour. Is there a preferred location or company to use? Would love any suggestions.
Thanks
Thanks

As soon as I saw your post headline, I felt compelled to jump in with a reply, having visited Amsterdam in early April of this year. Alas, StCirq beat me to the punch, with a recommendation that I wholeheartedly second! Our Those Dam Boat Guys tour was one of the highlights of the trip. Small nimble craft, small group, very entertaining host who seemed to anticipate every question that we had, and mesmerized all onboard with the history, culture and legend of this excellent city. Can't praise this tour company enough!

If you haven't already booked, I highly recommend checking out Pure Boats Canal Tour. It was the highlight of our stay in Amsterdam this past fall.

Check whether your non-official boat tour co is still sailing after new rules for them come into effect later this year

I'd make sure the boat cruise goes out into the Harbor and around back on another canal - get a great view of Amsterdam's historic facade from the Harbor. Some boats don;t go thru - some go thru the red-light district too.

I loved this one -

Classic Canal Cruise in a salon boat. Perfect.
