See the Best of Amsterdam on a Dog Friendly Boat Tour

Sometimes it’s nice to skip the crowds and just enjoy your own space. That’s why this private canal tour offers the best view of Amsterdam for both you and your dog, whether you sail for 1 hour, 90 minutes or 2 hours.

A Calm Canal Adventure for You and Your Dog

We believe man’s best friend deserves to experience the city from the water too. After all, the canals are part of Amsterdam’s calm rhythm. Let your dog feel the breeze, watch the bridges drift by and see Amsterdam the relaxed way, tail wagging and heart full.

This was a great canal cruise!!! It was so nice to have a private canal tour among all the crowds. Very fairly priced for an excellent ride through the beautiful city of Amsterdam. The boat was clean and the driver exceptionally friendly and informative. I only wish I'd booked a second tour!!
