A personal note
From Captain Gus
“Anniversaries are never only about the years behind you. They are about creating one more memory you will never forget.”
I often recommend beginning at Amstel 51 just before sunset. We pass the Magere Brug, enter the historic canal belt and continue toward the Seven Bridges as the city begins to glow.

The Evening Becomes Yours
When the canal houses illuminate and the salon glows warmly, Energie feels like a private world. The pace is unhurried, the city is close and every detail feels more intimate.
This is why evening anniversaries are among the most memorable experiences VIP Canal Tours hosts.
