The tour was wonderful! Our guides, Sofia and her BFF, were fantastic! Plenty of wine and cheese to keep is going for the duration of the tour. Would highly recommend to others and would do it again ourselves next time we visit!

Tour was great. Our host was great - funny and personable. There is a big step down into the boat but they are helpful. Great way to see the city. However, it is much cheaper to just book when you get there at the dock, there are three companies and departures every 15 mins with cheese and drinks 20 euros cheaper than booking through they your guide (their markup).

The cruise was lovely but the specifications bit unclear as there was a cruise with wine and cheese but when you go to payment and finalise, that wasn’t added. I thought I made a good deal, just so, next time I know I have to add that as extra which I didn’t select at the first glance.the staff was very nice, a bit cold tho cuz we had to wait in the queue on the canal. Next time we know :)

It was awesome. The host was very entertaining and comedic. She was so knowledgeable about Amsterdam and we have learned a lot. The tour came with unlimited wine/beer and cheese. So take your seat and enjoy the atmosphere. Beautiful and fun tour.

The staff is very friendly and pleasant, I think the wine and cheese tour should be on the other boat with cushions, if you are paying more $ for a wine and cheese experience.
