Canal tour

We really enjoyed the canal tour with Aroona (incorrect spelling no doubt). He was very knowledgeable, gracious in filling our drinks and the snacks were plentiful and quite good. We took the tour on our arrival day, so it was a nice way to get acquainted with Amsterdam - such a lovely city and everyone was friendly and accommodating. We had no trouble finding the meeting site.

Entertaining Evening Canal Cruise

An excellent evening cruise with the skipper, Michael, and Natalia, who was a great hostess. Great nightime photo opportunities around the city including the 7 bridges. Managed a few Heinekens on the trip. The vessel had a W.C. which was very handy. Highly recommended.

Cruising Through History on the Canals of Amsterdam!

Knowledgeable guide that made sure we were confortable with cushions and drinks. Great knowledge of Amsterdam history and offered. Retesting facts of the canal houses and houseboats along the canals.

Helen_R, Apr 2026

Great tour & great guide

Highly recommend using Captain Jacks canal cruise….we opted for the cruise with no snacks or drinks. I would choose this option again, whilst the drinks & snacks were freely available (to those that had paid for it) I’m not sure the extra cost was worth what you’d realistically consume in 1.5hr. The boat clean & comfortable. There were approx 20 people on out tour - the boat carried a max of 30 - so a good size. The staff were welcoming and our guide (a local) clearly loved his job and was really knowledgeable.

Our captain was friendly and interesting

Our captain was friendly and interesting - lots of fun facts as well as historical information about the canals and areas that we passed through. I've done other canal trips that just had recorded commentary - this one was a mixture which made it much more engaging. Would definitely recommend this company
