Private Tour
Some of the time it’s great to be around strangers. But Other times you want it to be a more private affair. Perhaps you want to see the canals with colleagues or clients. Maybe you want to get together with family and friends. Or are you looking for a romantic moment with just the two of you? Whatever you’re after, we can accommodate you.
Our boats fit up to 10 guests in comfort and in style. We have space for your refreshments as well as a roof, heating and blankets for the chilly and rainy days (it is the Netherlands after all – where the people are predictable and the weather is not). You can choose between a 1 hour, a 90 minute or 2 hour tour.

Language of the Tours
This tour is available in English and Dutch.
Food, drink and smoking
We have a fridge on board, so feel free to bring food and drink to relax by as you cruise through the World Heritage canal district. Do make sure that you also bring cutlery, plates and cups. We do try to have these on board, but sometimes they run out. Besides, if you bring your own then we’ll use less plastic. And we’re all for that! Do note, for safety reasons we don’t allow glass on board.
You can smoke on board, though please be considerate to other people on the boat if you’re on a shared tour. Ask them if they’re okay with you smoking and offer to go onto the balcony if they object. If that’s still not okay, please wait till the tour is over.
Thank you for being so considerate.
