ReadQuestions & answers
How do I book a tour?
Send us your date, number of guests and the tour you fancy. We’ll check availability, agree the details and send confirmation. No paperwork marathon.
Can I reschedule or cancel?
Yes. For private bookings, the cancellation charge depends on how long remains before the start:
- More than four weeks: 10% of the price.
- Four to two weeks: 25%.
- Two to one week: 50%.
- Seven days to 48 hours: 75%.
- Less than 48 hours: 100%.
Rescheduling more than two weeks in advance is free. From two weeks to 48 hours it costs €100, and within 48 hours it costs €150. For a cruise rescheduled within 48 hours, add €50 for each skipper hour. The new date depends on availability.
For public and small-group cruises, a refund is available if you cancel at least 48 hours in advance. After that, one ticket can be moved once and the remaining tickets must be bought again.
If different terms were agreed in writing for your booking, those apply. Full booking and cancellation terms.
Is the price per person or for the whole group?
Private tour prices are usually for your whole group: the boat or guide is yours alone. Any extra-guest charges are stated upfront. On shared departures, the price is per seat.
Which tour should I choose for my first visit?
Start with ‘Amsterdam: the beginning’ to get your bearings. For streets and canals together, choose Classic Experience. If you have four hours and want to explore further, choose Ultimate Experience. No need to rush this one.
How is your boat different from a regular sightseeing boat?
It’s a historic boat with a warm enclosed cabin and an open deck. More importantly, you have a captain and a live guide who tell stories, answer questions and don’t put a recording on repeat.
Is the boat warm in winter, and is it covered?
Yes. There’s a roof and a heated cabin with panoramic windows. You can enjoy the canals without freezing your backside off.
