This cruise was so relaxing and educational. We enjoyed learning more about Amsterdam and picking up ideas of more things to do. Our captain was so funny with the best personality. 10/10

Very informative and just really lovely to spend 75 minutes on the water. I learned a lot, but mostly it was just the best way to see Amsterdam at its best I think. Recommend.

Gorgeous day to take this awesome boat tour down the canals in Amsterdam. We elected to sit outside in the back and enjoy the fresh air and the sites. As such we missed the audio guide but so enjoyed the trip nevertheless. The captain came on the microphone often enough to give us some information about the current surroundings. All in all, an awesome way to spend a great afternoon seeing the gorgeous sites in Amsterdam.

Very informative tour and friendly captain and staff. We got there on the nick of time but the lady staff was very friendly and assured us we can relax a bit and take the next one coming in the next 15 minutes. 5 stars! 😊

The audio guide was just amazing, i was completely surprised by it. Usually I find it a bit boring. We went at the sunset and even with the rain it felt so cozy and really beautiful! Truly recommend!

The tour was a nice change and wonderful as an overview from the water. However, we only sailed on the outer canals because the boat was very large. The inner smaller canals were not seen. We then made up for it on foot. There were only chairs and no comfortable benches. The boat was also quite old.
