A nice tour, the guide speaks German very well and knows a lot about the history and architecture of Amsterdam. So you find out things that you wouldn't normally find out. But that's what a tour like this is for, among other things. We can only recommend the “German” tour. Especially when you take them at dusk and the lights on the bridges and buildings come on, you get really nice photos. On board there are Heinecken (€3.50), soft drinks and white wine. Everything chilled.

Manuel and Adia provided us with an amazing experience and loved every minute of it. You could tell they wanted the best experience for us and went above and beyond for all of us to make sure we had the best time. Cannot commend these two enough for the enjoyable night. Definitely deserve all the tips and appraisal these two get.

Super friendly staff, pizza was nice, could have done with the option of sauces to go with it. The staff were attentive, plenty of drink available, although make sure you ask otherwise you may go without a top up. The ice cream was a nice touch. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for more of a chilled vibe, rather than a guided tour!

Excellent chilled boat trip. The boys were very informative and answered our questions (they probably hear the same everyday) with enthusiasm and love. Good job boys. My friend and I are both 60+ so we were the oldest on the boat but welcomed so warmly felt at ease straight away. My friend doesn't smoke but absolutely loved the trip. Thank you and hope to come back in 2026 same month as its my birthday on the 7th. You better still be running your trips.

Excellent! I'd highly recommend it. Very informative and our guide, Benjamin, who was very new to the job did a fantastic job. We were particularly grateful that they managed to fit us in after I'd stupidly booked our tour for the wrong day! Great tour, great people, great city.

We had an amazing experience with Eco Boats Amsterdam! Our captain, Tim, was absolutely brilliant – friendly, funny, chilled and super informative. He shared just the right amount of interesting facts and local insights while giving us plenty of time to relax and take in the beauty of the city. The whole cruise had such a lovely, laid-back vibe, and the views were stunning. Highly recommend this company (and Tim!) if you want a relaxing, eco-friendly and memorable way to see Amsterdam.

Information about the red light district was great. Our guide Marian Williams responded very well to all of our questions and answered them all. We would have liked to have been able to take a look behind the scenes (e.g. into a sex workers' room), since the tour also has the title: "Behind closed curtains"
