Overview

For an authentic Amsterdam experience, nothing beats a Traditional Cheese Tasting Canal Cruise along the city’s renowned waterways, where you can savor the sights while enjoying a glass of wine and a shared cheese board.

Immerse yourself in the true essence of Amsterdam on a shared cruise, perfect for couples, families, and friends alike. Step aboard a cozy Dutch “Sloep” and set sail through the picturesque canals as the sun sets and the city sparkles to life under a warm candlelit glow.

Indulge in the intimate atmosphere with our selection of local cheeses to share. Our cheese tasting includes four Dutch cheeses served from young to bold: a soft and creamy Jong Belegen, a young cumin cheese with warm aromatic notes, a firm and savoury Oude Kaas, and a playful mustard-dill cheese with a fresh, tangy finish.

As you glide along the historic canals, you will have an unforgettable experience on Amsterdam’s waterways. The boat is covered in case of rainy weather
