Does anyone know where in Amsterdam, The Netherlands I can rent a cheap boat with a driver to tour the canals?

Question

The boat needs to hold 4 people comfortably. I'd like to spend no more than 100 euros for about a two hour tour. English speaking is preferred. I'd like someone who knows the city and can point things of interest out. The boat does not to be fancy.

Amsterdam Canal Cruises offers canal cruises, lunch cruises, dinner cruises, candlelight cruises and lets charter boats for many occasions such as receptions, dinner parties, round trips and small performances.

Roundtrips depart from the pier across the Heineken Brewery. Charter boats can pick you up from the agreed place.

Answer 2

The best way, not expensive (euro 8.50), with explanations of what you see is on a canal boat with others. See www.lovers.nl (nothing to do with lovers, his name is Lovers, with an o-sound, like in go). There is an English part on the web site. Try the night trip, same price, but with all the lights reflecting on the water really nice

If you really want to go without other tourist, you could rent a boat from them. the same website. euro 85 per hour

Answer 3

go to the site itself-- the boat docks --not hard to find -- then ask in English and see the rental boat itself on the "spot" --- tell the boat owner that you are 4 people and negotiate your way around. good luck -- you sound to be a first time traveller. you can not get this type of info via tel. calls or by e-mail, better be on the spot itself. what you see is what you get.

Answer 4

You'll see there are MANY channel boat trips there. Dont worry they are not expensive and the lectures on board are in 3 languages including english.
