Samantha
The museum is fantastic and has an amazing collection -sadly they do not have Start Night or the Night Cafe but they have so many others and a great narrative to follow as you go through the museum. The canal ride was nice and we appreciated the rest after so much sightseeing.
Elizabeth G.
The boat was very nice, filled with flowers. My girlfriend loved it and took a lot of pictures. Definitely recommend it as a date idea.
Martin
great, just great. There is no other way to describe it. The staff was very nice and friendly. The three different wines to choose from were very tasty. Definitely recommended for tourists visiting Amsterdam for the first time. Probably also for people who have been here several times before, but then you don't just see new things.
Richard G.
It was a lovely evening cruise. Only downside is they donāt have enough seating. We got there 5 minutes before we were due to depart (flight was delayed so had to race there!). We sat outside which was nice, better than inside Iād say. But there just simply wasnāt enough seating for the amount of tickets they sell. My advice, get there early and sit on the back of the boat outside, beautiful views. If you sit inside you donāt have a table to yourself you sit with others.
Gladys D.
A wonderful way to see Amsterdam from a good perspective
Leroy D.
from checking our tickets to boarding and the tour itself, Elzo and Ilja were full of stories about the history of Amsterdam and never failed to make us laugh and enjoy the scenery. we had so much fun touring the canal and seeing the city.
Carmen E.
We enjoyed the cruise very much. Two hours felt far too short, as Captain Erikās stories were so engaging that we hardly had enough time to take in the beautiful views of the canals. There was a nice selection of snacks and drinks, making it easy to relax. The small group size also created a warm and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended!!!
Ruth
There was an expert guided tour through the beautifully illuminated canals at night. You could also ask questions directly. The service staff was attentive and cheerful. The captain did great. It was wonderful and the cheese and three types of wine to choose from tasted wonderful. This tour is highly recommended :-) Keep it up! Greetings, Mr & Mrs Zurich ;-)
Brittany
This was so fun! The guides were funny and knowledgeable. The perfect way to end our trip to Amsterdam.
Mary D.
The cruise was good value for money. Probably not as great a view as a roofless boat but the weather was cold so this worked for us.
Robert
we visited this museum as a family, very beautiful, well-documented and interactive exhibition of emblematic works to see
Annette
Loved this experience. Whats not to love about all you can eat pancakes. It was a good journey, great service and when families kids needed distracting, the play area beneath the stairs was open and everyone was happy. Great team on board and they took care of everyone.

From the start to finish Mouse was amazing.We were a multi generational family group aged between 21 and 78. He was patient , kind , funny and very informative . He helped us to make sense of the history and geography, very interesting. Showed us all the pubs and restaurants to go to. This is by far the best canal cruise in the city. We had cheese, wine, beer ,soft drinks, sweets, crackers, there was so much to serve everyone plenty. Thank you Mouse . We loved your energy.
Abbey O.
The tour was excellent and our guide was lovely! Unfortunately some rowdy guests on board ruined the trip as the couldnāt hear our guide and kept hold over all of the alcohol. However the overall tour is worth it and great info!
Hannah
Perfect! Great joining instructions, easy to find. A lovely experience with an experienced host who made us welcome and looked after us. Nothing was too much trouble. For example securing vegetarian snacks for one guest and dropping us back close to our accommodation. I would highly recommend using them. From start to finish they were perfect hosts. Thank you

Mario
A nice tour, the guide speaks German very well and knows a lot about the history and architecture of Amsterdam. So you find out things that you wouldn't normally find out. But that's what a tour like this is for, among other things. We can only recommend the āGermanā tour. Especially when you take them at dusk and the lights on the bridges and buildings come on, you get really nice photos. On board there are Heinecken (ā¬3.50), soft drinks and white wine. Everything chilled.
Mary N.
- excellent & knowledgeable guide - small jetty for easy access to the boat was fantastic, as I always struggle to get in and out boats - perfect boat for a sunny hot day in the middle of a heat wave: canvas roof with rolled out openings let fresh air in while providing the needed shadow - fitted a small group of 10 people with ease - great food and all kinds of cold drinks. in short: great experience!
