No good

John_B, Aug 2025

Excursion was cancelled at the last minute due to “not enough interest “ . Was rescheduled on a different boat Without flowers, captain held a loud conversation on his phone.

Highlight of our trip so...

Patricio_R, Apr 2025

Highlight of our trip so far. The guide was great with the knowledge of the city and took our pictures

Guides were informative....

SUSAN_S, Apr 2025

Guides were informative. Difficult to see over front of boat so not as good for seeing the sites ahead of us.

Flower Boat Ride

Veronica_G, Apr 2025

Sabrina was our tour guide on the boat and Ohno was our boat captain. It was a pleasant ride. Got a lot of history of the canals and bridges.

Must do in Amsterdam

Queenie_P, Jul 2024

Worth every penny! Must do when in Amsterdam. The tour guides were very pleasant and knowledgeable. The flowers around the boat is a big plus as it adds beautiful colors to pictures and liven up the day even when it’s gloomy outside.

La barca con i fiori è molto bella!

Marisa_R, Sept 2024

La barca con i fiori è molto bella! La consiglio senz'altro. Avrei preferito forse più informazioni su Amsterdam da parte della guida che non ha parlato tantissimo ma le cose che ha detto sono state interessanti e divertenti.
