The City Sightseeing Amsterdam boat will take you around the famous canals of Amsterdam, with stops at some of the must-visit locations in the city. Over the course of 24 hours you can hop-on and off as you please to make your own ultimate Amsterdam city trip. On board the boat you can listen to an audio guide to learn more about the city and the canals, and you'll have access to free WiFi so you can share your experience with friends and family and track your location in the city in our app.
