Something different: the food wasn't prepared on the boat, but picked up from a top-rated restaurant. The food was great and the staff was super nice. The tour at Christmas time with the light shows was also very nice. But it all comes at a price. That's why I don't think common drinks like water and coffee should be charged separately at the end of the trip.
LeAnn
get in the queue early so you can get a window seat otherwise you will have strangers taking 409 selfie in your photos of historic buildings and bridges
Kevin M.
beautiful way to see the city, at sunset especially.
Patricia J.
Wonderful relaxing trip with family. The crew was very nice and helpful.
Elizabeth M.
Nice trip, well cared for and friendly staff. Everyone had ample food and there was a wide variety.
Patricia F.
Captain Erik was very nice and welcoming. He shared a great deal of information about Amsterdam and its history which was really interesting. The view from the canals was really unique and we had great weather for our tour. I would highly recommend this for anyone coming to Amsterdam! The drinks and snacks were a nice extra.
Karen P.
Lovely tour, Joao was an amazing guide, telling us many cool stories about the city :)
Lisa C.
I was pretty happy because I got to see a different part of the city then I had seen. I enjoyed it.
Tim
Very nice ride with lots of sights and perfect for smokers. Crew very nice and informative. Two free drinks per person. Really highly recommended
Stephanie J.
We had a great time! Elzo and Ilja were amazing guides, fun, friendly, and very entertaining. They made us laugh and created a really nice and relaxed atmosphere. It was a lovely and enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!
Paola
Beautiful trip on the canals of Amsterdam with a more than exhaustive guide!
Matthew H.
The canal part was especially nice — quiet, scenic, and well-organized. Amsterdam-Noord was interesting and creative, though you’ll want to plan which spots to visit in advance.
Richard T.
Powerful, immersive, and beautifully calm. The lights, water, and city blended into a striking nighttime experience. A must see in Amsterdam.
Ena
The crew was energetic and so informative. The snacks were a lovely addition to a beautiful tour. It was far superior than the prerecorded boat tours that start from Amsterdam Central because 1. The crews the stories and information had such a personal touch 2. The boat was so comfortable you could really enjoy the sights no matter where you sat. 3. The crew. I cannot say enough good things that I have to mention them twice because they are the VIPSs they cared that we had a great experience. Thanks Capatin Cat and Ro!!
Matthew J.
The trip was great. We saw beautiful canals and buildings. We also got some interesting information from the guide. Since we have already been on a canal trip, we know that the guide could have told us a lot more about Amsterdam. That was a bit of a shame.
Kristýna
It was really great tour! Mave and our captain was excellent and told us really many interesting informations! Definitely recommend 😊
Billy S.
My wife and I enjoyed the walking tour very much. Our guide was very knwoledgeable but did not overfeed us with information. The tour was fun and we learnt Amsterdam from a perspective we could never have seen by ourselves. Great experience. Would do it again!
Eddie G.
We chose this particular cruise from the myriad of choices for the following reasons: - the boat had a smaller capacity, resulting in a quiet and tranquil experience. - food and drink quantities were generous but I would not recommend this cruise to people who are looking for an all-you-can-drink rowdy party boat. - the boat was covered so poor weather (ie rain) would not result in cancellation - flexibility of drink options. beer was offered in addition to wine (one of our party does not like wine) The cruise met our expectations. The captain and his crew were great!

I booked this canal cruise as part of a 9 person stag trip from Scotland. I was booking a number of activities at the same time and I managed to overlook that this was a German cruise. As 9 non German speaking Scottish tourists I can honestly say we had the best time. Although we missed most of what the tour guide Marta was telling the group, both she and the other guests made us feel very welcome, we all had a good laugh together about my booking mishap and the sights were amazing. Was undoubtedly the best hour of our weekend and it will be talked about for months if not years to come. Highly recommend.
Anita
This was an informative, varied and fun tour with Piet. She would have liked it to have lasted longer.
Mirre R.
To get into the museum, you skip the ticket line but still need to get in que to enter. We picked 9:15am slot and lucked out with much smaller crowds and very enjoyable visit. We also visited the temporary exhibits. We enjoyed lunch after and took our time to cross the town for the boat tour. It was very informative, relaxing and nice. Definitely recommend this package.
Gareth
The canal cruise was interesting and showed some good areas of Amsterdam. Only draw back was the smelly fumes out the back of the boat but that is to be expected. Loved the ice bar! Many people criticising and saying it was a waste of money but I thought it was a fantastic experience and my wife is now obsessed with the nougat and pistachio liqueur.
