About the experience
Climb aboard Salonboot Diana and discover Amsterdam’s most infamous neighborhood in a way that’s anything but ordinary. This 1.5-hour cruise takes you through the heart of the Red Light District — not as a spectacle, but as a story.
Hosted by a true local, this tour is raw, respectful, and rich in context. You won’t hear clichés or scripted lines. Instead, you’ll dive into the layered history of the neighborhood: its social struggles, cultural complexity, and deeply human stories. Along the way, your host shares personal memories, plays music that sets the mood, and invites you to see the district through the eyes of someone who grew up alongside it — not as a voyeur, but as a witness.
The atmosphere on board is cozy and real. Under the roof of a classic covered boat, you’ll stay warm with blankets, enjoy a drink in hand, and maybe even snap a few Polaroids to remember the ride. It’s a floating salon of sorts — where conversation, music, and storytelling flow as naturally as the canals beneath you.
This is not just a tour — it’s a local’s truth, a respectful exploration, and a new way to see one of Amsterdam’s most misunderstood corners.
Curious minds welcome. Seats are limited — book now and discover the stories behind the lights.

AAliceDate of the rental 9/13/25 · Date of the review 9/22/25Read moreEverything was 5 stars! The boat is beautiful and has an inside and outside area for all weather conditions. It is also very comfortable. Jannah who was the skipper of the boat was amazing and had great stories about the history of Amsterdam and canal life. I would recommend this boat to everyone.
