Islands and Canals

During this cruise we combine the beautiful old city with modern architecture on the islands of the Eastern Docklands. It’s a spectacular tour along the best of two worlds; alternating new and less known parts of Amsterdam with the intimacy of historical buildings and warehouses along old canals.

We really enjoyed the architecture excursion through the Eastern Docklands. Our group of architects, urban planners, traffic experts and engineers had an informative but also very pleasant afternoon. According to us this excursion is not just for experts but is also very nice and interesting for everybody else.T. Douma / Gemeente Sneek
You get to parts of Amsterdam you wouldn't normally go to
★★★★★
More than two interesting, entertaining and informative hours!! You get to parts of Amsterdam that you wouldn't normally walk to. It was very relaxed walking and listening to the guide. Also the organization by Local Experts was spotless, to the point without surprises. Don't hesitate to book a guide for say 2 hours and you really experience the city in a completely different way!
