What are people saying about Amsterdam

Morning Canal Cruise Amsterdam in Small-Group

Christine_P, Jul 2026

Do this tour

Such a wonderful canal tour, I did the 8 am and it was an amazing way to learn about the city. I loved how quiet the city and canal is at that time of the day. The boat is beautiful and the guide was great. I would highly recommend this canal tour. Even the walk to the tour was great so early in the morning before the city wakes up.

Amsterdam Canal Tour by Open Boat – 90 min Small Group Experience

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!

A beautiful, fun and...

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.

Amsterdam: Exclusive 3-course Dinner Canal Cruise

Patricia_P, Jun 2026

Great way to see the...

Great way to see the harbor and the canals of Amsterdam. Boat staff was very friendly. Drinks are expensive. You have to buy a large bottle of water—very pricey. One small glass of Coke was 4.50. Wish they would skip “free” welcome drink which is non -alcoholic or alcoholic bubbly. No other option on the free drink. Salad was delicious. We had the beef entree selection. Meat had lots of grizzle and was hard to chew. Potatoes and vegetables were tasty. A nice way to spend an evening on the water.

Amsterdam Canal Cruise Departure from Anne Frank House

Jack_H, May 2026

Exceptional Anne Frank walking tour

Peter is an excellent guide. He is very knowledgeable about the history of the Frank family and the history as it pertains to Amsterdam. He includes personal family history of the time and has many wonderful pictures of the era to bring it to life in his presentation. Don’t miss this tour!

Cruise Amsterdam like a Local — Small Group 12 pax

Eric_L, May 2026

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.

Amsterdam: Guided Open Boat Canal Cruise Unlimited Drinks Option

Vicki_P, Dec 2025

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.

Amsterdam Smoke Friendly Coffee Shop Cruise on Luxury Boat

Jovonn_R, Oct 2025

A total Vibe!

The total cruise was an absolute vibe! From the moment we boarded until we disembarked. The guide was both knowledgeable and engaging and quite witty with his humor. Highly recommend it's you're a smoker or not. My husband and brother partook while my sister and I did not but they had a nice rose wine and beer for purchase asking with water and sodas. Would totally do this tour again!
