    8 EUR one per for an hour.
    A great expenrience of exploring Amsterdam with your own feet.
    You can rent a paddle boat and return it to any of the 6 stations in the city.
    However, be careful of big motor boats

    There are about 165 canals in Amsterdam. Canal cruise is a must if you are in here as you can sit in the boat and enjoy the view and take as many photos as you like.

    There are also dinner cruise but we took the cruise in the daytime. It was a wonderful experience.

    Never been on a canal boat trip here before ,so we thought why not...
    The trip lasted about an hour and costs 12 euros for 3 of us,which I thought was ok.You listen to a tape recording of the sights and what to look out for,it was in various languages.I`d like to do one again in the night when the city is all lit up.

    I quite enjoyed canal cruising in Amsterdam, especially on a crappy day. You still can go out even though it's wet & grey outside and get to see some sights. You can catch a canal boat from a few locations around Amsterdam e.g near Central and Leidseplein.

    I boarded a one hour canal cruise for 6.50 euros and it was pretty good. The cruise route is usually passing the popular landmarks along the canals e.g Skinny Bridge, the narrowest house, so you get a duck's eye view of the city with no traffic jams

    I m normaly not a big fan of those very touristy cruises so i choose to do it at night with a glass of wine which made it fun and also i had bought a pass which included a canal cruise( i think i only paid an extra 4 euros because it was at night), so might as well do it.

    You must take a canal cruise in Amsterdam. It's the best way to see the city from it's claim to fame - the canals!

    Take the canal boat tour. It leaves every 15mins and takes about an hour for the whole trip.
    You get to see Amsterdam's sights from a different angle and take such pretty pictures.

    A canal tour really is the best way to see the city.
    The tour guides are well informed and multilingual! The tour takes about an hour and a 1/2 as it leisurely meanders through the city. Some companies even offer candlelight dinner tours. Buy your refreshments before you board the vessel.
