Great tour of Amsterdam
Both the captain and the tour guide were very knowledgeable. The boat is not enclosed as per the picture on the booking website. It was cold but allowed for better pictures of the city. The kids enjoyed the tour and it was very informative. Highly recommend.

Small group evening canal cruise
Small group boat cruise of the canals at night. The guide was great, pointed out many areas in the city that we wouldn’t have been able to see otherwise. He was very knowledgeable about Amsterdam. It was a good balance of the larger and smaller canals He provided snacks and choice of beverage(fee for this) overall a very enjoyable experience and a good way to see many sites lit up at night from a water view perspective

Wonderful time spent in Amsterdam
The tour was fantastic and Arnold in particular was an outstanding guide. It was a chilly, but still enjoyable late afternoon ride. Arnold really knew his stuff and was happy to answer any questions posed from the group. Would 100% recommend this tour to others. Note, it’s an open air boat which is fantastic and gives amazing views but if the weather isn’t great… this might not be a top option.

This is the tour!
Captain Dave was a wonderful and highly knowledgeable guide! We greatly enjoyed our canal tour. It was so nice to be the only boat out in the water in the morning, and the boat itself was lovely (as was the sugar bread!!). Captain Dave was so great with our 12mo old and made our whole family feel welcome.

Best Canal Trip Ever!
Maaaan this was such a unique and unforgettable experience. I was running late and wasn’t able to pick up weed. Fortunately my skipper provided a lil something to hold me over!!! That was so awesome of him. Then as we traveled through canals we saw an incredible sunset that lined up with a church and the canal. It was just perfect! Then on top of that you get a couple drinks! I’m only bummed i suck at remembering names other wise I’d give the crew a personal shoutout. But the lady and the guy were such a complementary team. Very kind and knowledgeable about canals, history and sometimes cracked a few jokes that really made me laugh. Overall I’d say don’t miss this experience in Amsterdam.
Additionally, I’d say try this as soon as you land or your first day because with all the information you get, you’ll be able to add activities or must see stops to your trip. I did it on my last day and saw a few places i wanted to check out but it was too late. Anyways cheers and thank you so much for an amazing experience!

Pizza boat trip
easy to find , got aboard and was asked which pizza we would like and had about 5 options, alcohol was included this consisted of wine or beer but soft drinks also included, nuts was also on the table
To nibble on , staff on the boat was very friendly. We had a lovely evening the pizza was lovely but I would say , more information/history should be given as a lot of the trip itself the guide was not talking through which was a shame , canals looked beautiful at night and we are glad we done the trip

Great tour & expert guides, relaxed & able to see all the main sights of the city.
Last minute booking that I was able to get & glad I went on this cruise. As a solo traveler, I appreciated the relaxed vibe on the boat, not crowded with a whole row to myself & unobstructed views through all the windows & glass ceiling. The tour guide was great, had a lot of great info & also recommendations for additional things to do & see around Amsterdam that I hadnt seen online or social media or read about. In 90 minutes I was able to see everything I wanted to see but didnt have time to walk to in my two day visit. It also helped that the day was sunny which made the experience even more enjoyable! The pickup location right next to the Anne Frank museum was very convenient as I had just visited the museum and it is central to most places to see.
I would highly recommend this tour!

Amazing tour!
This was an absolutely wonderful tour with a very knowledgeable tour guide! The small group setting and comfortable atmosphere made us feel right at home. We especially loved the stop to pick up some local delicacies - they were so good! What a fun, relaxing and fascinating tour of the canals complete with local history. Sebi was such an amazing guide. I can't recommend it highly enough for anyone who wants to understand the area, it's evolution and lifestyle. We were delighted to have such a personal tour! Far better than the standard big party boats! Well worth every penny!

Great Canal Tour
We had such an amazing experience on this canal cruise! We went on October 1st as part of a friends trip, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our time in Amsterdam. The setting was perfect—sailing along the UNESCO-listed canal ring while enjoying unlimited drinks made for such a fun and relaxing afternoon.
Our guide, Yannas, was absolutely fantastic. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared great stories and insights that really brought the city to life. The mix of sightseeing, history, and a laid-back atmosphere with drinks created the perfect balance.
I also loved that the boat was comfortable in any weather, with both open-air seating and a covered deck. Having the option between a 2-drink or unlimited drinks package was a nice touch too.
If you’re looking for a unique way to take in Amsterdam’s beauty without the usual crowds, I can’t recommend this cruise enough. It’s fun, social, and a wonderful way to experience the city!

Would 10/10 recommend!
Would 10/10 recommend this private canal tour. Was an excellent small group activity. Pap was a wealth of knowledge, funny, and open to our questions, etc. We are Ted Lasso fans and he even showed us where Rebecca fell in the canal and which house boat they were on!

The perfect canal trip
A great way to see the city - we picked the right boat!
Pete, the skipper & Thijs, the guide, were great and very informative. They had lots of interesting stories about the history of the city and of the canals. Highly recommend.
