Canals of Amsterdam Tours

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.

the van gogh museum is very good, the museum is very well done, a treat. On the other hand, the boat trip is not great. the company, does not fit into the heart of Amsterdam. we bypass the center, we go outside Amsterdam and the port. announced for 90 minutes we did 75 minutes, we covered kilometres, but we didn't see much. rather take the walk in the city center in 1 hour for €13 with another company!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.
