Rembrandt House Museum Tours

We ended up having a private tour due to no one else booking onto our trip. Our guide was fantastic, very informative and answered all of our questions. We learned alot about Amsterdams dark history and were able to see the changes around us as identified by our guide. Would deffently go again, fantastic tour and worth every cent!

The bike ride is a lot of fun but a bit stressful because the traffic in many parts of the city is chaotic, and if you are not used to foot brakes it is a bit unnerving. I suggest the use of bikes with brakes on the handlebars ... Our guide Scarlett, however, was very good and nice

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!
