Tours in Amsterdam —  Long Weekend Sculling Tour  – Check for Tour Date

Amsterdam is  NOT the Capital of The Netherlands. Due to its Canal / Grachten system it is a wonderful and exciting rowing area. Wikipedia says….the Amsterdam canal system is the result of conscious city planning.  In the early 17th century, when immigration was at a peak, a comprehensive plan was developed that was based on four concentric half-circles of canals with their ends emerging at the IJ bay. The canals served for defence, water management and transport. The defences took the form of a moat and earthen dikes, with gates at transit points, but otherwise no masonry superstructures. The original plans have been lost, so historian need to speculate on the original intentions.

Rowing in Amsterdam: City Row:

When you row within the canals, you need to be aware of plenty of private boats and sightseeing ships. There is usually a good understanding between the “Captains” still, the canal system is narrow, and your tour guide knows exactly where to row. Angstel Row: The Angstel Row is a nice and calm trip with unique bridges and narrow waters. Some short paddling is often required. Very pleasant.
