This boat ride exceeded our expectations - it was so enjoyable, delicious and the guides were excellent and provided some excellent history about Amsterdam! I have already recommended to friends and would love to do this again someday!

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.

The boat cruise was good, nothing beyond that. The highlight for me was the unlimited wine and cheese, though it was clear that they were not of the highest quality. Despite this, I would still recommend it as the activity becomes more enjoyable with a drink in hand. The best part of the tour was undoubtedly our guide. Their enthusiasm was contagious and truly made our experience memorable. I doubt the tour would have been as enjoyable with a less engaging guide. I wouldn’t recommend the tour if you have other plans or things to do in Amsterdam, but if you're inclined to try it, this company is reputable, and the service was incredible. It's recommended for those looking to enjoy a relaxed cruise with some wine and cheese.

This was a great experience, friendly, knowledgeable guides and a never ending supply of wine! We booked our experience at 6.30pm out of convenience but ended up with the most beautiful sunset cruise! Thank you.

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!

Not being a fully glass top boat made it a little more challenging to see everything, but overall a good tour for the value.

Once you book this tour, it says drinks are not included which is opposite as to what’s being paid. Nonetheless, staff service was great and they helped us with the issue. Host’s Historical and cultural views were aggregated value

We had such an amazing time on the canal tour!! It was super informative and we had a blast! Our hosts were amazing and we were so lucky to not have had any rain. The cocktails were also lovely, highly recommend the flagship passion!! Thank you so much guys! It was a highlight of our trip x

Lots of people and very short outing unfortunately... very limited choice of drinks and we're not sure if it would have been worth the extra price... the guides were very cool and they were able to tell us interesting things

Really disappointed with the booze that is part of the deal. Unlimited prosecco and beer but if you do not like these there is nothing. Advertising needs to be more succinct

We had a very beautiful experience today with the crew. The captain was very good at entertaining us with interesting stories and funny jokes, and everyone else as well. Also, congrats to Tom on his first day driving the boat! Everything was great we had a fun hour

André

Very nice canal trip, of course depending on the weather it was dry for us. We left early in the evening so we were back by dusk. The guide told a lot about the history and life in Amsterdam, well and understandably in English with a few jokes. If it is too cold there are blankets and drinks are sufficient if you choose this option. Recommendation goes out.

Great Canal cruise in downtown Amsterdam! Guides are young but very knowledgeable! Great the company had had blankets and umbrellas on board!

Kayshel

The duration as perfect. Got to see and learn so much more than I would have on foot. Perfect time to do it right before sunset so you get the city at daylight and the night lights. Enclosed so not cold like other boats looked but had an outside area you could go to for photos or to sit I'd you preferred.

The location of the sights needs to be described better (e.g. left, right, front). It was too warm on the boat and there was a lack of fresh air. Drinks offer would have been nice

Dan

A beautiful evening, nice service, but an audio guide without any timing. The stories were without direction and without regard to whether what was being told was in the right place.

Isabelle

very good, cruise with drinks and sweets option, 1h20 journey on the canals with audio guide in French and comments in English from the captain, to be done to admire the typical facades of the houses and discover some very beautiful buildings.

great, but after a day of visiting, 8:30 p.m. is still early, you might say, but it's hard to stay awake 😂😂 we were exhausted but still made the most of this moment. The night is absolutely different from the day it's great

We really loved the trip! By changing from sunset to night, we were shown a completely different picture of Amsterdam. Unfortunately, the audio guide was like any other, only including a few sights. The impressions of the city were still beautiful and memorable. You have the option to stay seated in the closed area or go to the back into the open area. The driver and other staff were very nice. Although we had already taken another canal cruise, we really enjoyed this cruise.

Very nice cruise with a lovely host Maeve but was advised it was luxury and would be 8 to 10 people but was boat was full and and tight with approx 20 people or more on board but overall very informative tour and the unlimited drinks option was definitely worth it

We really enjoyed the tour - it was exactly as advertised and gave us a better sense of Amsterdam! The live music was lovely, and our guide was great and taught us a lot. It was cold but the blankets and wine warmed us up - overall a great experience! Would highly recommend.

Nanhi

Overall experience was great. The guide and hostess on the boat were fabulous and friendly. The boat itself is not very comfortable as the top covering is low and seats are high so your neck and back are quite cramped if it’s a rainy day (which is often in Amsterdam). It would probably be way more comfortable with the top open but on a cold wet day the top needs to be covered.

Very nice museum. I honestly decided to go due to the lack of a ticket for the Van Gogh museum, but I must say that the experience was surprising and of considerable impact. It contains a vast exhibition of works by Dutch artists, but also some works by foreign artists including Monet.

I booked the tour as a lil treat the day before my partners birthday and I would definitely say aesthetically it doesn’t look like pictures I saw online. However it’s exactly what it says a tour along the canal whilst smoking with some strip led lighting. Nevertheless i spent time with my partner so we enjoyed the overall experience. I just think the boat could be cosier it felt quite basic. A free drink was included which we all got to choose from a cooler the captain had next to him.

The crew was amazing and very friendly. We missed the meeting point and were very late. They left port but saw us running down the stairs and went back to get us. No other tour would have done something like that. Extremely grateful because the boat ride, scenery, lounging, ocasional historic site info and vibes were just perfect.

I liked the canal cruise, even though the focus was more on the food and drink, but that's exactly what I liked about this tour. The pizza was from New York Pizza, unfortunately it was already cold when you got it. The drinks were always refilled and you also had the choice between 3 different types of wine. The guide was nice and talked live about the things you saw.

Nice way to do canal cruising. Glad that we had the table by ourselves. The lady attending to customers onboard was very polite and accomodating. and was surprised that we had ice cream before end of the tour.

Rebecca

Super friendly staff, pizza was nice, could have done with the option of sauces to go with it. The staff were attentive, plenty of drink available, although make sure you ask otherwise you may go without a top up. The ice cream was a nice touch. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for more of a chilled vibe, rather than a guided tour!

I have done this before in 2023 and was so fun. This time, service was sooo slow for pizza and drinks. We asked for rose wine and twice got white wine which wasnt very tasty. Pizzas this time had not much flavour and were cold by time got served. Previous time had none of these issues. May of been a bad day.

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.

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!!

The canal cruise with Captain Cat was great! She was fun and engaging, giving lots of history and details about what we were seeing. It was a small group of about 20, in a beautiful enclosed boat from 1910. There were plenty of drinks (soda, iced tea, water, juice, beer and wine) and I ate my fill of snacks (cheese and crackers, cookies, and Dutch candies). I thought it was so fun, relaxing, and one of my favorite parts of my trip. I saw so many canal cruises happening with different companies in Amsterdam, but all of the people looked so bored on all those other boats! They were crammed in on hard benches, listening to an audio guide through headphones and no one I saw was smiling. But with Captain Jack Cruises, it felt like being welcomed into a floating living room for an hour and a half 🙂 I definitely recommend!

Superb trip with informative guide. We were on the cushioned outside area on the bow of the boat which was so comfortable. There was no better way to see Amsterdam by boat sipping on rose wine! The unlimited drinks was an added bonus and the trip was so relaxing. We passed many other boat cruises all packed like sardines and felt so lucky we chose the perfect boat tour-leisurely, informative and comfortable. Even my 16 year old son loved it! Would thoroughly recommend this cruise over others and will do again on our return.

We were booked on the last tour of the day, which meant that we got to watch the sun set as we left the red light district. There were only a few others booked on this time slot so we had the whole back of the boat to ourselves (group of 5 of us). Our tour guide was excellent- he gave us a lot of information about the history of the city, the buildings, and canals that we passed, while creating a relaxed atmosphere with his anecdotes and facts. He had a great sense of humour too, and you could tell he enjoys his job, talking to people, and the city. The boat itself is cozy and covered, with an open section at the front and the back if you wish to sit outside. The drinks included beer, wine, and soft drinks. I'd highly recommend this as a short and fascinating tour of Amsterdam's highlights.

Although the tickets for the day we wanted to go to Van Gogh museum were not available through the museum website, we could get the tickets. And the amount they charge is very reasonable.

Even without knowing a lot about art or specifically Van Gogh himself, this museum is truly a must. I would definitely recommend getting the audio guide there which was only €3.50 and we’ll worth it! Depending on how detailed you’ll want to be there it’ll take anywhere from 1 hour to 3 hours I’d say, I was there for about an hour and a half maybe more and there was still lots that I didn’t get to see so be prepared! Buying tickets beforehand sabes you a bunch of time so I’d definitely recommend that as well. I think the experience isn’t as good if you don’t get the audio guide in my opinion, the tickets I bought here didn’t include them but like I said getting them at the entrance was very easy and not too expensive, just a warning, they don’t take cash at the museum, it’s all by card (audio guide and any souvenirs form the museum shop)

Beautiful museum. Easy to get around to see the featured paintings. Great explanations about artists, paintings, etc. The paintings are displayed nicely, far enough apart to not feel to crowded and to allow for photos. Do not miss this museum if in Amsterdam. Both art lovers and non- art lovers will enjoy the ambience and beauty. Be sure to purchase your tickets on line as this venue sells out, especially in busy summer season.

The audio guide is very user friendly and enhances my understanding and enjoyment when I stare at my favourite artworks to a different level! I am glad I purchased my ticket before I left for my trip. I wish the Vincent Van Gough museum ticket is included into the one day traveller pass. Thanks.

Brilliant museum and the audio guide really adds to the paintings providing context and history. You can chose the highlights option and focus on key paintings or roam at your leisure, stopping at each piece of art and then using the dial for the numbered pieces. The audio guide also highlights key features of the artwork and is very interactive.

The museum was great! Staff was very friendly & welcoming. Just keep in mind to take your card with you because the souvenir shops don’t always take payments in cash; but that’s not a big problem. It was one of the best experiences in my life for sure.

The museum has a series of tours set up for how much time or particular interest a visitor may have. We chose the “Highlights” tour, and thoroughly enjoyed the selections chosen for this tour. Of course, we had the option to see any other paintings too, not just those on the Highlights audio tour. The Museum staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable. The restaurant was good, there was an attended cloak room, and clean restrooms.

Don’t miss this if you’re in Amsterdam! Definitely worth the visit. Plan 2h for the permanent exhibition on order to understand everything and take advantage of the audioguide and an additional 45min for the temporary exhibition-we saw Klimt and loved it!

It was a great museum to get acquainted with Van Gogh's work. Beautifully curated, I was able to see how thoughtfully they placed each piece if work to tell the ultimate story of Van Gogh. Showing the ticket provided via the app was effortless and hassle free. Glad to have done it.

We enjoyed it and the audio guide was really great. I wish we’d had more time, but I learned a lot of new info and plan to learn more on my own. There was an interactive segment where you could “flip through” his sketch books that was neat. And the info about fellow artists and their influence on each other was also good. I wish they sold a combo booklet and the audio tape so it could be referred to ad lib later.

So thankful! Was able to get tickets the same day! Flight delay caused us to miss the first date scheduled. Shared company info with a guy buying a hot dog who noted how disappointed his wife was because tickets were sold out. He immediately started checking it out. Purchase process was super easy.

Really romantic moment. Calm and cozy atmosphere. Good service. Correct quantity of wine but a little more cheese would have been welcome.

Joshua

The activity itself was very nice, especially as Amsterdam was lit up well at night. The cheese and wine was plentiful and nice. Unfortunately, the tour was 20 minutes late departing and no explanation was given for the delays. It states to arrive 15 minutes early, so we were stood outside in the cold for 35 minutes waiting to board the boat, making us unhappy about the service before it started. The operators could have recognised that it was cold and offered everybody the opportunity to go into the ticket office whilst they prepared the boat, but this was not considered.

Shani-Lee

Was an amazing experience! We only gave it a 4/5 as there were some rude people who continued to speak over the guide, even though she did ask them to quiet down, so we missed some information. I suggest a canal cruise option without commentary to be added for those who want to talk, enjoy some wine and cheese, without learning the history of Amsterdam. The guide, nevertheless of the rude people, did a great job discussing the significance of different sites. Delicious cheese platter and great wine.

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 ;-)

I was expecting it to be way better, all the hype about it and the actual ice bar itself is down the back of a bar and it's tiny!! The jackets they give are not warm at all, the max youd stay in there would be 15 mins! Tthe best part was getting your drink in a shot glass or beer glass made of ice!

An excursion as expected. A wine and cheese cruise through the canals of Amsterdam, with that beauty of landscapes and houses, with the lights at dusk and the illuminated bridges. It was our turn and we were able to enjoy our evening more. The cheeses were delicious (they didn't taste good to me, to be honest) and there was no shortage of wine to choose from until the end of the journey. There are reviews that do not match my experience, but for me it was unique and I would definitely repeat it again. Super recommended to see another part of Amsterdam

Very relaxing evening trip There was no commentary from driver which would have been good perhaps in couple of places points of interest etc !

After reading the reviews I was a tad worried about the quality of the canal cruise .. but we had the best time!! There was more than enough cheeses, bread, grapes etc … didn’t even manage to finish it! And our lovely lady who was serving everyone on the boat was super attentive and we had more than enough wine. Saw some great sights and it was a wonderful Amsterdam experience… will definitely be booking again when we visit next. Well worth the money! Thank you to all the staff 😊

Overall there was nothing really wrong,guides and personal did their job well but, for the money you can try better canal cruise with less people, choices of cheese was really basic(Its better to just visit any Cheese store in Amsterdam and you can get Cheese tasting even for free) and sadly they had only dry wines which was for me kinda difficult since i drink only sweet wines

Aurora gave an excellent and enjoyable tour of the Van Gogh museum! She is very knowledgable, and easy to understand. She explained various works and Van Gogh's personal life. I highly recommend her! I understand it is a different experience to take a guided tour of the museum, and appreciate the guide's work, but it is much more expensive than the entrance fee.

Aurora was an excellent, very knowledgeable guide. Organized too! Messaged us the night before with meeting time and pictures of meeting place. The museum was very crowded but she ushered us through easily. I appreciate the organization going from Van Gogh’s beginnings as an artist to his final work. Really got to see the progression of his artistic works.

Very satisfied, recommended. The morning tour was good, at lunch it was overcrowded with people. Satisfied that the group only consisted of eight participants, then you heard where the guide was telling while getting close to the specific works of art. The English was not extremely advanced, as a Swede with normal language skills it is probably fine.

Captain was good fun, that's what made the trip really outstanding. Photo here is missleading, boat looks very different from what you see in pictures here. Guide was half moderated by the captain and half multilingual records (this was also not expected, but nevermind we were ok with that afterall) It's a charming ride through the canals and with good captain it is a great experience.

Tour was exceptional. Our guide was informative and lively. It was well worth it. Don’t wander aimlessly get a guide and learn so much.

At times we struggled to hear the guide as it was very busy with other guides talking. It would have been helpful to have had audio devices to better hear the commentary. Otherwise, our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. I'm not sure that a 90 minute tour was sufficient as there was so much to cover.

The meeting was scheduled for 2 o'clock, but I confirmed the meeting place early and went there early, and they let me in for the 12:30 session. I was able to go around efficiently. I was able to appreciate the exhibition while following Van Gogh's era and hearing stories. It was fun.

The tour from Leah was excellent. She was very informative and helpful. The information about Van Gogh’s life was fascinating and I much preferred listening to Leah chatting to an audio commentary. I learned new aspects of his life I hadn’t appreciated. Her perspective on his mental health was interesting too considering her own knowledge of psychology. The hiccup at the start of the tour was unfortunate and well handled by her. Our delayed start was a bit frustrating at first but resolved quickly. It would been nicer if the museum staff could have allowed us to wait inside the group entrance as it was chilly waiting outside. Unfortunately due to the delay I was unable to wander around the museum after the tour as I had to meet my husband at an agreed time. As said before the hiccup was not Leah’s fault, but the museum could have made us more welcome.

Overall very good. The guides were late, the other skippers didn't know anything, which created a bit of a nervous atmosphere. But they apologized straight away and things started very quickly, drinks were offered straight away and off we went. There were also headphones, but everyone only wore them for a short time because there was more chatting. It was a really nice group of Germans and English (and us😂). The hour was over in a flash, it was very nice. Then off to the club, it was okay, pretty small and not much going on on a Saturday. But then we moved on after the shot and a drink. Really okay for the price. The only thing was that we weren't allowed to be "loud" on the boat, as the skipper often warned us, so the headphones were a bit unnecessary because it meant we sang along a lot, which wasn't welcome. Otherwise it was an experience.

We had our ride at 9.15pm and were 5 minutes late. Nevertheless we made it. There were only 4 guests. So we had a different ride than usual. But we really liked it. Our guide was called Even and was super nice, really cool and told us great stories and gave good tips. I think we will do it again on our next visit, a canal trip in the evening is really cool.

Unfortunately, it wasn't a party boat. Hidden in the booking it should say that the whole thing takes place as a silent disco. However, we would have been the only ones with headphones and it just wasn't what we booked. An hour beforehand we were called that we were starting at a different point and shortly before the boost tour the club was also changed. The staff on the boat were really friendly and the trip was lovely. Just not what we had booked. We showed our “free entry” wristbands in front of the club. The club didn't know anything about it and just let us in because entry was free anyway. We didn't receive a welcome shot, although it was part of our booking. So we paid so much money and in the end we didn't get anything that was promised to us, apart from the flat drinks on board. The soft drinks here only consisted of cola.

Excellent tour, my guide was Agustin, who was very patient with me since I hadn't ridden a bicycle in a long time. Lots of information and a great tour of the city. Highly recommended!

I would have expected more guidance from/to attractions. This was more of a bike ride around the outskirts of the city. The boat ride that was purchased started long after the bike ride ended (1.5h later), which made the whole activity take much longer than expected. In addition, it got dark before the boat trip started and we couldn't see as much of the canal trip as we had hoped.

Very good tour. The group was small, so the guide (I don't remember his name, but he was an artist and half from the Netherlands and half from Spain) was able to teach us in a personalized way how to use the fixed gear bikes and was always concerned about us. You get a beautiful view of Amsterdam as the locals do, accompanied by the guide's useful and precise comments. 100% recommended the tour.

Overall tour was good. This is my second time doing a bike tour in Amsterdam (different company). Stated 2.5 hours but we only did 2. I would suggest a stop along the way for a bathroom break or snack (likely the park). The tour company was punctual and very friendly. We also did the countryside tour with them.

Ruben was an excellent guide! He was both knowledgeable and excited about the city history. He waited anytime someone got stuck behind because of a red light. When a chain fell off one of the bikes and one bike got a flat tire, he quickly addressed both situations. The bikes were very comfortable and I didn’t have any issues with mine. It was a beautiful day in a beautiful city for a great ride.

Great pancakes but the route is terrible and you don’t see anything interesting, so the point of this are the pamcakes, nothing else

It was amazing! The pancakes (crepes, not American pancakes) were AMAZING! We had so much fun, and I would definitely recommend this cruise. I thought that they were going to be talking about Amsterdam and showing important monuments or buildings, but it was just pancakes.

Absolutely amazing, great value for money and pankakes are very tasty. The next time I'm in Amsterdam, I will book it every morning for breakfast.

This was one of our favourite experiences the whole holiday. Well worth the price and so much fun! They had loads of toppings to put on our fresh pancakes and we gorged ourselves, the view was also really pretty.

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.

A reminder from the Company early in the morning, thankfully we were well organised and aware of the bookings, however an ideal reminder and gratefully received. To begin we walked to the Rijksmuseum, presented our on line booking forms, scanned and in we went. The floors are divided into particular eras, extremely well laid out with either stair or lift access and well signed. Some beautiful Work’s of art on display by famous and less well known artists, mostly by Dutch painters, but works by other nationalities also on display. Definitely a must visit whilst in Amsterdam

The Rijksmuseum is a must for anyone anyone visiting Amsterdam. It’s a beautiful space with much to see. Wonderful, memorable paintings and just a joy to walk around. Don’t leave without a piece of Dutch apple cake in the cafe. It’s delicious. The canal cruise was ok. Confused where to board but otherwise it’s a large canal boat and takes you around the canals. The audio is available in lots of Languages and seemed ok. Audio quality not HD but perfectly ok for the purpose. Seemed good value buying this ticket.

The excellent museum is so big that it is a bit difficult to get around inside, so I recommend the audio guide. It is close to the city center. I recommend visiting it early in the morning, it is less crowded and so you can leave the afternoon to visit other sites.

Easy to find departure point and the captain was very clear in her instructions before setting off on a great experience. Progress was smooth and clearly the person guiding the barge knew exactly what she was doing. Our only v slight criticism is that the pre-recorded audio guide via head phones was a bit brief. Otherwise a great experience.

Even though we bought 9am tickets to the Museum, they still let us in an hour and a half later. It took us quite a bit of time to figure out the city transportation, but definitely worth it. The canal cruise was average. You sit very low in the boat and your view is limited. The windows were not clean and no refreshments. The captain was pretty good at supplementing the pre-recorded guide. Overall, very interesting, but I would go for a separate cruise. And get it early, as the dinner cruise I wanted sold out!

The Canal Cruise was beautiful and a good way to see Amsterdam's canals. The only thing I had an issue with was not being able to hear the guide very well with my headphones, but that may have just been mine. The Rijksmuseum was fantastic, very large so maybe prioritise the areas that you wish to see most. I loved learning about the trade history of Amsterdam in the 1600's

Great for your money. If you don’t understand english it may be a little hard on the canal tour. there is an audio tour in several languages but our guide made several corrections and side comments in english that others were not privy to due to the language barrier. overall great tho

The museum and the boat tour were both 5 stars and it was great to book both in one place. I only gave this 4 stars though because it wasn’t made clear that you were supposed to show up to view the museum first at 0900 and then go check in to get your boat tour later. The people who worked in the boat tours building helped me out and explained it to me better. It was a shame that I wasted nearly an hour figuring it out though.

Really good package, do the museum first as your time slot is for that rather than the boat. The boat leaves on the hour up until 6 pm so allow enough time to fit both in. Food and drinks not sold on the boat, so bring with you. Museum lunch was disappointing, small portions, a bit stale, overpriced but the actual museum was very interesting.

Hello, myself and my friends very much enjoyed the Rijksmuseum and the City Canal Cruise but i should let you know that the lady who served me in the office where i obtained our boat tickets was extremely unhelpful and did not want to engage with me and was reluctant to answer my questions. She also gave wrong information, i asked if we needed to book onto a particular trip and she said no, just turn up but when we arrived we found everyone else had booked and we were only let onto the boat after everyone else when they had found there were still spaces.

The 60mins canal cruise was very pleasant. The skipper even dropped us off at the museum. The museum was excellent. We used the audio guide to find the 'highlights'. It was very informative, but we found it quite difficult to understand its directions around the museum. So we had to keep asking the very friendly staff.
