Private Boat Tour Amsterdam with Prosecco and Local Snacks
Picture this: You and your partner snuggled together. The sound of water lapping softly against the sides of the private boat as we cruise beneath Amsterdam’s iconic bridges and past its magnificent 17th-century canal houses.
Against this picturesque backdrop, your guide shows you the romantic side of the city. Sharing stories that speak to the heart: tales of love, and details of the art and architecture that make Amsterdam such an open-air museum. Brought to life with a carefully chosen selection of music.
The heart opens in silence, therefore we recommend booking during the week when Amsterdam is quieter and feels more private. As the rest of the city works, you get to enjoy a truly intimate experience on our silent electric boat.

Thank you and especially Scott who was our host for the best night of our life!! He made everything really special for us, it was not just another tour, and we will always remember how special you made it for us!! I recommend and we will definitely come back and ask for Scott!!
Thank you so much to Rocco and the team for such a wonderful experience! My partner (now fiancé!!) and I had a three and a half hour canal cruise on the Saloon boat and the Unlimited Love package. The email communication to arrange the evening was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our three course meals picked up along the way, and Rocco picked a perfect, quiet intimate canal for the proposal itself. We will fondly look back on this special day for the rest of our lives (and will regularly look back at the Polaroids!). For everything that was included I feel the price was very reasonable!
Thanks so much for making our engagement so special ❤️
Thanks so much for making our engagement so special ❤️
We had the most incredible experience with Romantic Amsterdam Tour. From the very first email, their communication was warm, professional, and reassuring. The private boat tour felt so special.
The storytelling made it unforgettable. We didn’t just see the city, we heard its love stories and hidden secrets. It felt authentic, thoughtful.
The team are true professionals, and they clearly care deeply about creating magical experiences for couples. Our proposal was handled beautifully.
If you’re visiting Amsterdam as a couple, I can’t recommend this enough. It’s romantic, personal, and worth every penny.

We loved this romantic cruise so much we came back AGAIN for year 2! Rocco is the best and this tour is the best. Cannot recommend it enough!
Scott gave us an unforgettable night on the water. Fun, informative, and picked the perfect route for us to maximize the night sights. He knows when to chime in vs when to step back and really let the romance of the moment build. What a wonderful city to explore from the water. The whole experience blew me away and made for a really special evening.
Scott did a great job! Leading us through the eye of the storm while telling us great stories. 5/5 stars
Skipper Scott was AMAZING!!!! Great tour of Amsterdam through the many beautiful canals. Scott was extremely funny, easy going and very knowledgeable about the city. Loved it!!!
I worked with the Romantic Tours team for about 6 months to plan my proposal to be just the way I envisioned it. The entire team was very friendly, professional and helped me get every detail right. Ciska was very responsive and helped me think through additional details to make the day as special as possible. Skipper Scott was a true pleasure to be with on the boat. I was pretty nervous arriving to the boat, but his calm and lighthearted demeanor and fun stories helped calm my nerves immediately. Justina was our incredible photographer and helped capture each special moment and we couldn’t have asked for a better team. My new fiancé even told me yesterday was the best day of her life, which wouldn’t be possible without the team helping make it all possible. I cannot thank you all enough!!!
That was very good and interesting. Our captain Dip told us a lot of stories about the city and made our journey brilliant and perfect. I really recommend.
We really enjoyed our canal tour with captain Mare. She was funny charming and knowledgeable. The snacks and drinks on board were of high quality. We took an evening tour as the sun was setting so it made for nice lighting and no glaring sun to deal with. I recommend this tour to anyone who doesn't want to ride on a party boat.
We had the most magical experience with Proposal Romantic Tour Amsterdam! From the very beginning, communication via email was amazing—quick, friendly, and incredibly helpful. They provided great support in planning the actual proposal, making the whole process smooth and special.
A huge thank you to my tour guide, Glyn, who truly made the experience unforgettable. She was not only warm and kind but also took so many beautiful photos, brought us to lovely romantic spots, and adjusted the tour perfectly to our needs.
I honestly couldn't imagine the proposal being more perfect. My now-fiancée was over the moon, and it’s a moment we will never forget.
Thank you so much for making it all so perfect! 💍🚤❤️

The communication and planning were great, and we really enjoyed the Romantic Amsterdam Tour. However, we were unhappy with the photographer we were assigned—both the photos and editing didn't meet our expectations. When we brought this up, responses were slow, and we ultimately just asked for the RAW files. Surprisingly, we liked the polaroids more than the professional photos. If photography is a priority for you, I recommend asking in advance who your photographer will be.
Response from the owner 12:42 10 May 25
Dear Aileen,Thank you for taking the time to share your valuable feedback. We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the Romantic tour and appreciate your kind words about our communication and coordination.

To assist you further, we could not find your details in our system. Please email us at info@romantictouramsterdam.com with the name under which the booking was made. Once we have the booking details, we will look into the matter and explore how we can resolve it.Thank you again for sharing your experience. We hope to assist you soon.With love, Linda

Truly a one of a kind experience and worth every penny. Rocco and his Team are the best. From the initial email inquiry to the follow-up after was impeccable. Our canal guide was Dirk and we couldn't have asked for a better person to share this once in a lifetime experience. He is an amazing individual who took great care in making sure we would never forget this day. Kristin and I are so unbelievably happy and had the absolute best time ever. I would highly recommend Team Romantic Tour Amsterdam.
Love always,

Why did we create the private boat tour Amsterdam?
We felt it was time for a luxury boat tour in Amsterdam that shows a more intimate side of the city, presented in a very personal way to our passengers, and with an expert guiding you around. Something that is not possible on the many tall ships cruising the canals. This is why all our skippers on our private boat tour Amsterdam are local experts of Amsterdam, and are living in the city and love to share all about it.
This Private boat Tour Amsterdam will give you and your private group some classic luxury and a real in-depth idea of the main highlights of the city seen from the scenic canals.

After sunset in the mystery of the night all the lights are gently flickering all over the canals.
The bridges are lit up and reflect in the mirror-like canals of Amsterdam. You feel the magic all around you. On a practical note, make sure to check the time of sunset when you travel as it can vary a lot from summer to winter. We are delighted to welcome you to the Private boat tour Amsterdam.
