The boat was clean and comfortable, and the skipper was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared interesting facts about Amsterdam’s history and landmarks. The pace was relaxing, making it easy to enjoy the scenery and take photos. We especially loved cruising past the historic canal houses and charming bridges. It was one of the highlights of our trip and a perfect way to experience the city. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Amsterdam

Great experience

Great experience on the canal cruise with drinks and cheese. Good guide and service! Would recommend for a different perspective of Amsterdam. Finding the meeting point was challenging for us, but we asked for help and everyone on the docks was great! They knew right away which your it was even though the listing didn’t say it specifically.

Fun afternoon

Our guide Lon was very knowledgeable and entertaining. There was a little trouble finding the exact location, but the staff made sure they contacted us and helped with that. For anyone who might have the same difficulty with the map point being a bit off…look for a boat with bright orange flowers on it.

What boat do we go to?

The meeting point is not in front of the Anne Frank house. It is on the canal, and no one has any idenity from Viator. There are several cruise services. We asked the first one we came to who had a check in booth. The ticket we had did not have the tour company, so we had to search our old e-mails to find the tour operator. She was able to point us in the right direction for that tour operator. After that debacle, we boarded our boat and it was very informative and relaxing.

An amazing evening in Amsterdam

We had an absolutely lovely evening on the canal with the KINboat team. There were so many tours to choose from; we had a hard time narrowing everything down. Captain Dirk was truly the man and made our evening fun and enjoyable. He is a wealth of knowledge, so we also learned a good amount about the history of the Netherlands and the city. If you're looking for a tour, look no further (and request captain dirk!).

Amsterdam Canal Cruise with Local Guide and Small Group

Maria_R, Jun 2026

Best Boat Tour in Amsterdam!!🛥️❤️

Fantastic boat tour around Amsterdam. Captain Sebastiano and Gabby were really friendly, shared lots of knowledge and stories as we travelled, and made us laugh a lot. It was a small tour with only 8 of us which felt really personal and relaxed. Drinks were very reasonably priced and tasty (highly recommend the aperol spritz!). Definitely book this tour over one of the bigger boat ones. (Also very glad to have an open boat rather than enclosed in this hot weather!). Thank you so much for such a brilliant tour 😊☀️
