What are people saying about Amsterdam

Michelle_W, Jul 2026

Great canal tour and amazing tour guide!

This was an absolutely amazing canal tour. The guide was very personable and gave us an excellent experience. He told us about the history Amsterdam from the different sections of the city to the canals themselves. I highly recommend this canal tour company!

Amsterdam: Luxury Canal Cruise including Cocktails & Snacks

Tatum_C, Jul 2026

Couldn't recommend this tour more!

LOVED IT! Brother sister duo here, felt personalized and you could feel the pride of the crew. Loved that they made you feel welcome before even stepping on board. We added the unlimited drinks and some people deter you from doing this because you won't get your $ worth, but our drinks were never empty, so 10/10 recommend. We went on a 2PM tour, in July, and it felt semi-private, not busy at all. Boat was beautiful! Would absolutely go on this tour again!

Captain Sebi tours are unbeaten

Did this today and it was fabulous! Nice small group of people so you can move around the boat which has an indoor and outdoor area. Plenty of cold drinks (alcoholic and non alcoholic) available and the local snacks were lovely especially the hot ones which you stop off for from Sebi’s cousins restaurant. Captain Sebi was very knowledgeable and led a wonderful relaxed tour. Would 100% recommend paying a little extra to book this over the larger boat tours as it is more personal and the smaller boat can sail the smaller canals which are very pretty and peaceful.

Fantastic tour taking you to all the intimate places with the city. Our tour with Jan was extra special as you can tell how much he knows and cares for the city. Ultra friendly and accommodating, I highly recommend Captain Dave over any of the big standard charters out there.

A beautiful, fun and relaxing way to see the city and learn more about the iconic architecture, history and culture while having a little wine or beer. The staff was very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly making the trip fun and enjoyable. This is a small group tour so far better vs. many of the other larger boats, well worth the small additional cost.

Must Do Upon Arrival in Amsterdam

Embarkation is down stairs to your far right if the station is directly behind you. We had the good fortune of booking an early cruise on the first day without a cover on the boat. Fabulous views! Maurits was a great guide. Answered lots of questions and showed us the layout of the canal system. Great thing to do first in Amsterdam to start to figure out where things are.

Amsterdam: Canal Cruise departure from the Anne Frank House

Galen_H, May 2026

The cruise was very...

The cruise was very satisfying in terms of what I expected. The guide was funny and allowed me to bring my pizza on the boat because I hadn’t had a chance to eat all day, which saved my life. The location of departure was not as listed: it was from Amsterdam Centraal area and not near the Anne Frank House. However, the address provided on my ticket sufficed to get me to right place just in time, so it wasn’t a problem for me. Just a note.

Less (people) is More (enjoyable)

This tour shows you and tells you about Amsterdam and how it came to be what it is today. Personal stories that entertain and educate, not pre-recorded. We enjoyed our tour with Jan so much that we booked another for the next day with Ollie. Both exceeded our hopes. Would suggest going in the morning when canal traffic is less, late afternoon on Friday was very busy and made piloting the boat and entertaining guests a difficult task…which Ollie managed well. Take this tour and enjoy a personal experience.

Canal Cruise

We had a lovely time on this tour. Captain Jang did a great job guiding us through the canals and telling us very interesting stories about Amsterdam’s history. He also had a fun sense of humor. He shared some tasty Amsterdam treats with us. I would definitely recommend this tour. 5 out of 5.
