Canals of Amsterdam Tours

The canal tour was very successful. There were enough drinks on site. However, it was a mixed plate with snacks and not three Bitterballen per person, which was not agreed. The boat was 15 minutes late, but we were informed about this. A photo of the jetty for better orientation would have been nice and would have made things easier. The driver was probably already looking forward to the end of the day.

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.

Very hard-working tour guide or captain. Spoke a few words from time to time (apart from the audio system), unfortunately difficult to understand without a microphone. But the audio system worked perfectly

The trip was nice and the guide was very friendly and explained and told a lot. He was also good at answering questions. The only thing that bothered me was the poles that normally hold the tarpaulin. Some of them were a little in the way or you had to contort yourself a bit to look around them. Otherwise great trip!

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!

There was a lot of processing at the beginning, but it was very nice on the boat. Relatively loud atmosphere, but you quickly forget that. Very tasty food and great wine. The service staff was very attentive and quick. Great impressions at night.

In principle very cool to get a quick overview of Amsterdam, unfortunately compared to other cities there is little information about the audio guide - you get more information through guided tours.

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
