Itinerary

  • Westerkerk (Pass By)

    The Westerkerk was built between 1620 and 1631 in Renaissance style according to designs by architect Hendrick de Keyser (1565-1621). He is buried in the church he designed earlier: the 'Zuiderkerk'. The building of the Westerkerk was finished and completed by his son Pieter de Keyser (1595-1676) and inaugurated on June 8, 1631. The church has a length of 58 meters and a width of 29 meters. The high nave is flanked by the two lower aisles. The three-aisled basilica has a rectangular plan with two transepts of equal dimensions. As a result, the plan for this church was given the form of two Greek crosses connected with each other.

  • Canal Ring (Grachtengordel)

    he Grachtengordel (known in English as the Canal District) is a neighborhood in Amsterdam, Netherlands located in the Centrum district. The seventeenth-century canals of Amsterdam, located in the center of Amsterdam, were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in August 2010.[1] The Amsterdam Canal District consists of the area around the city’s four main canals: the Singel, the Herengracht, the Keizersgracht, and the Prinsengracht. From the Brouwersgracht, the canals are generally parallel with one another, leading gradually southeast into the Amstel river. Many of the canal houses in the Amsterdam Canal District are from the Dutch Golden Age, 17th century. Many of these buildings, however, underwent restoration or reconstruction in various centuries, meaning that these building display many different architectural styles and facades

Family trip to kids

Published on Oct, 2024

So glad we opted for the smaller Skyboat tour. Our captain was great, very engaging full of info about this beautiful city. The smaller vessel meant we could travel along narrower waterways and glimpse parts of the city and history we would otherwise miss. Highly recommend!

Great way to see so much!

Great way to see so much of the city and a very affordable option. Our original cruise was cancelled due to the rain but they were quick to accommodate us on which tour we rescheduled.

Great value for money

Published on Aug, 2024

Booked a canal cruise in a small open boat with Blue Boat company. Chose them partly because the start location in Leidseplein was convenient for us, but also because the price point was good. Really enjoyed the tour - the length was spot on at 75 mins and the pacing great - enough information but not a torrent of words, so we had plenty of time to enjoy the visual experience and calm nature of travelling on the water.

Nice experience

Published on Apr, 2024

We enjoyed the small group and open boat nature of the tour. Our guide was great. I'm quite sure we had more fun and we're able to see more than the larger covered boats. Thanks!

Hans Boat Tour

Hans’ boat tour was very nice. Enjoyed seeing the city and surrounds from a different perspective. Really liked that it was an open boat with few people.
