Об этом занятии

People always ask us: “Can you show us your favorite spots?” This is where we share the places, stories, and little secrets that make Amsterdam feel like home. Step aboard our historic boat with a cosy lounge deck, your floating living room on the canals. Take off your shoes, grab a cold drink, and relax. Cruise through peaceful canals, hidden courtyards, and authentic corners that many visitors (and even some locals) never discover. Your local skipper grew up in Amsterdam and shares fascinating stories about the city’s history, architecture, traditions, and everyday life. There is no fixed script, just genuine stories that come naturally. Meet people from around the world, enjoy good vibes and a relaxed atmosphere. No need to impress—you’re already invited in. Come as you are, and leave with authentic memories and a Polaroid keepsake.

    Маршрут

    1. Brouwersgracht

      Brouwersgracht, the brewers' canal, made Amsterdam rich with beer money 400 years ago. The fancy houses you see? Built by beer makers who got wealthy here. Now artists and locals live in old warehouses. You'll spot houseboats covered in flowers where people actually live year-round

    2. Herengracht

      Herengracht has been Amsterdam's fanciest street since 1612, when rich guys built massive houses here. These belonged to mayors and traders who got wealthy from spice trading. These aren't museums - they're still the most expensive homes in Europe. The canal stretches 2.4 kilometers through the heart of the city.

    3. De Bijenkorf

      Blauwburgwal is tiny at just 100 meters long but packed with big history. The name means "blue fortress wall" from when it protected the city. In 1940, bombs hit this street and killed 44 people. Now it's quiet and narrow. Most tourists miss it completely.

    11. De Bijenkorf

      Lijnbaansgracht, the rope canal, got its name from rope makers who needed long spaces to make ship rigging. Built in 1612, parts got filled in during the 1800s to create squares and streets you still see today connecting neighborhoods.

    12. Bloemgracht, the flower canal, ranks as one of Amsterdam's most beautiful waterways. Trees and 1600s buildings create perfect light that everyone tries to capture. Locals bike past while visitors stop for photos. The name flower canal makes total sense when you see it.

    13. Café Papeneiland

      Café Papeneiland has been operating since 1642 on this famous corner. This brown café serves the apple pie that made Bill Clinton order a whole one to take away. The wooden inside and old tiles tell stories of Dutch history with pure Amsterdam vibes.

    15. Egelantiersgracht gets its name from the wild rose and was built for skilled workers and craftsmen. The houses are smaller than the fancy main canals because real working people lived here instead of rich merchants. That's exactly why they're so popular with locals now.

    19. Brouwersgracht

      The corner where Keizersgracht meets Brouwersgracht creates the Instagram spot photographers hunt for. Two canals meet and make four lit tunnel views at night. When bridge lights come on, this becomes pure Amsterdam magic and the perfect end to your water journey.
