It was so lovely and calming sitting back on a boat watching the wonderful city and listen to an audio guide tell you facts you probably would have never heard unless you went on the boat trip. Well worth the price

When we arrived it was clear the trip was oversubscribed and to make it worse, the people behind us acted like children and pushed in front of us to get seats, leaving us not being able to join the boat ride that we booked. The staff were very apologetic and put us first in the queue for the next boat, offered a free drink and a cookie each. The trip we went on was brilliant, plenty of space and it was open top with tables so we could enjoy the beautiful evening sun. Thank you to the staff who were working the evening 17/07, your excellent customer service made it a joyous experience for us to end our trip to Amsterdam 😊

They were very punctual and with the highway in Spanish we sailed through the three main canals of Amsterdam, seeing everything very comfortably from the boat and sheltering from the rain. Highly recommended

This is my second time taking the tour with Lovers, and the staff is always very friendly and welcoming. If you don’t have much time to walk around Amsterdam, this tour is 100% recommended.
