History
Amsterdam’s Canal Ring was carved in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age; its concentric canals organized commerce and expansion and are now a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Conservation
Respect canal-side rules—avoid feeding wildlife and minimize noise; choose small-group operators that follow local emission and waste guidelines to reduce impact.
Reserve your spot on the Spanish Guided Amsterdam Canal Cruise Tour today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Arrive Early
Show up at least 10 minutes before departure at Oudezijds Voorburgwal 230 and look for the blue umbrella to avoid delays.
Layer Up
Bring a lightweight waterproof jacket and an extra layer—canals are cooler and windier than streets, especially in the evening.
Camera Ready
Keep a small camera or phone easily accessible; you’ll want quick shots of bridges and gable facades through the canopy.

If your ticket includes a beverage choose it when boarding to avoid missing commentary—bar service is limited during the cruise.
Light waterproof jacket
Protects against canal spray and sudden rain while keeping you comfortable under the canopy.
