Full description

You can drink in a bar in any city in the world, but for a true Amsterdam experience, you can’t do better than a boozy canal cruise along the world-famous waterways, taking in the sights with a cold beer in hand. Your booze cruise will take off near Central Station, from where you will cruise into the heart of the city where the main canals are. You will then pass through the Amstel River, passing the 7 bridges and some more hidden gems that only a local skipper and host will know how to find. Your cruise will eventually result in the same spot in which you started, right next to the Red-Light District and a 5-minute walk from the famous Dam Square. This is exactly where you will want to be after 1.5 hours of an open bar.

1.5 hours of a private, luxurious, and covered boat

Everything worked out great. I wrote to the organizer a day before the appointment and got a nice answer. The boat arrived on time at the agreed place and the two drivers were very, very nice. There is also a toilet on the boat. The boat trip was a great way to start a great evening. I can definitely recommend the trip!

The cruise was very good. We were a large group, 18 people to be exact. There was absolutely enough to drink, and the guides were very good at the balance between letting us have a good time and telling us about the city. So they had very good patience with so many drunk Norwegians. The only minus about it, was that we booked the trip at 4pm, and there were some issues with the booking so we had to move our trip to 1:30 pm. Which resulted in us having to rearrange some other parts of our journey… We got compensated for the inconvenience, and it worked out well anyway. We didn't have the best weather, as it was cold and rainy - but the atmosphere was impeccable. Money well spent!

By far the BEST activity we did in Amsterdam! We decided to book the booze cruise and it turned out to be the highlight of our stay. The boat is comfortable, covered and has an open deck where you can sit outside and smoke. Way better then the big touristic boats!! The captain and host are chilled, texted us before the trip and made sure all drinks were served cold, even when my friends got pretty drunk by the end they stayed patience and professional. They serve Amstel, Heineken and proper wine. Basically you have a small VIP party on the Amsterdam canals. Worth the money 100%
