Great tour. Boat was nice, they didn’t cram you in there like other tours. We did ours at night- loved it! Bob was great and I highly recommend this tour! We were able to sit in an open top but part was covered, it that is what you wanted!

The cruise was amazing! 🤩 John Paul, the guide and skipper, was super informative and funny, telling us stories about the contemporary and old Amsterdam. The choice of canals was thoughtful and varied, making us anticipate what was coming next. And finally the Eco Boats reps, William and Feli were very accommodating having us arrive late. Thank you all! We had a great time!

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.
