Discover Amsterdam from the water

Amsterdam is a city best experienced from the water. The canal ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and tells the story of the Golden Age: stately canal houses, leaning facades, charming bridges and houseboats bobbing gently on the water. From a cruise boat you see the city as it was always meant to be seen, because Amsterdam was built around its canals.

At Sustainable Tours Amsterdam you can easily buy your canal cruise tickets. You glide past the Westerkerk, the Magere Brug, the Anne Frank House and the Seven Bridges of the Reguliersgracht, while an experienced skipper takes you through centuries of history. It is the most enjoyable, relaxed way to discover the highlights of Amsterdam all at once.

Two ways to book

Canal cruise tickets only

Just want to enjoy a beautiful canal cruise? Then simply buy your tickets with us. You set off from the centre of Amsterdam with Rederij Kooi, the oldest canal cruise company in the city, and enjoy the finest views of the canals.

Optionally, we pick you up at your hotel, so you can start your day carefree and in comfort. When booking, let us know whether you would like to use our sustainable hotel pick-up.

The great thing is: we pick you up anywhere in Amsterdam. Whether you are staying at a hotel in the centre or just outside the city, you do not have to go looking for the departure point yourself. We are ready and waiting for you and bring you comfortably to the boat. No hassle with public transport, no searching for a parking space. You hop in and we take care of the rest. And all of this in our sustainable Mercedes vehicles, so you set off not only relaxed but also with a clear conscience.

Combine a tour with a canal cruise

Want to make a full day of it? Combine one of our tours with a canal cruise in Amsterdam. Book the Zaanse Schans Tour or the Volendam Tour and add a canal cruise ticket.

After the tour we drop you off directly in Amsterdam at Rederij Kooi, the oldest canal cruise company in Amsterdam. That way you see the iconic windmills and the authentic Dutch landscape in one day, and you also discover Amsterdam in the most enjoyable way: from the water.

All the highlights in one day

Imagine this: in the morning you stroll among the green wooden houses and turning windmills of the Zaanse Schans, you taste fresh cheese and watch how clogs are made. In the afternoon you step aboard a cruise boat in Amsterdam and glide along the capital’s most beautiful canals. Two unforgettable Dutch experiences, comfortably combined in a single day.

This combination is very easy to do and saves you the hassle of public transport or parking. We arrange the comfortable, sustainable transport; you simply enjoy.

Travelling sustainably

Like all our tours, this experience too is all about sustainability. We transport you in comfortable, sustainable Mercedes vehicles, so you can enjoy Amsterdam and its surroundings with complete peace of mind.
