    Boat sloop Amigo on Amsterdam water

    Amsterdam ontdek je pas écht vanaf het water. De stad kent een rijke geschiedenis die teruggaat tot de 13e eeuw en groeide in de 17e eeuw uit tot een wereldstad. Om die groei mogelijk te maken werd de grachtengordel aangelegd, tegenwoordig UNESCO Werelderfgoed en nog altijd het kloppend hart van de stad. Terwijl je door de grachten vaart, zie je de unieke mix van historische panden en moderne invloeden. Onze schippers varen je niet alleen soepel door de stad, maar delen onderweg ook de mooiste verhalen.
