Top Netherlands Canal Cruises

Captain Ollie was out captain on the Captain Dave boat and he is absolutely amazing!!! He was fun, funny, and EXTREMELY informative. He knew fascinating history about the area and made it relatable to each of us and where we came from. And not only did he have great history and information about all of the sights but he maneuvered the boat impressively! There were some incredibly tight corners and even had a situation with a local boat that he was able to navigate and keep on track! Absolutely amazing tour. Extremely highly recommend!

Best 90 minutes of our trip to Amsterdam! Albert was our captain and his love and long time experience living in this lovely city made our tour entertaining and informational. We saw so much - not just bridges but interesting architecture and the history behind it, the zoo and even a baby elephant and its mama and a giraffe as we cruises along. Albert even paused and backed up for everyone to see. We had an amazing sunny day - in early May! - truly enjoyed every minute! I did a lot of research before making a reservation and the extra 30 minutes, open boat (which gives you a wide open panoramic view and the incredible stops made it a standout choice that didn’t let us down! Such a great way to experience this beautiful and historic city.

We arrived too early for our cruise and were accommodated on an earlier cruise with Jek in the Ariana (I think!). We heard lots of interesting facts on our cruise with a very personalised tour. It was informative and enjoyable and was excellent value for money.

Captain Sebi made our canal cruise a highlight of our visit to Amsterdam. He is altogether personable and very knowledgeable about the City and its rich mercantile history that drove the style and construction of buildings along the canals and streets. He provided all the libations you can imagine and even stopped at a special restaurant (his cousin's) to treat us to warm bites. We were very happy we chose a small cruise boat because we quickly became friends with the small group on board. With Sebi you cruise with the owner who is proud of his boat and his business. First class all the way. Thank you, Sebi.

10/10 I definitely recommend this experience. Not only did we have fun, we learned about the culture and saw a lot of beautiful houses along the way. Yea we smoked, but this was next level. We saw animals as we passed the Zoo and captured a lot of great pictures. The tour guides were phenomenal as well. I wish I could remember their names but it was so much to take in the moment.

this was the second cruise I've been on in the city. This was by far the best one. It was a smaller group, which made the experience much more intimate and enjoyable. The host (Chia Yu Chiu) was hilarious and made the entire experience entertaining with their great knowledge and engaging personality. They really knew how to keep everyone entertained while sharing interesting insights about Amsterdam. We had an amazing time from start to finish, and the combination of the smaller group size, the host's fantastic energy, and the beautiful canal views created a memorable experience. The canal cruise successfully delivered entertainment, education, and a welcoming atmosphere that made it stand out from other experiences. I would highly recommend this canal cruise to anyone visiting Amsterdam looking for a fun, engaging, and informative way to explore the city's waterway

Amazing trip pizza was lovely drinks and service was outstanding couldn't recommend this enough we'll definitely be doing it again.. The only one thing I would suggest if you like dip with your pizza take your own as this is the only thing you don't get in the service. Everything else perfect

We had a great time on the canal tour with JD as our host! He was informative, had a great sense of humor, but most of all he was approachable and kind. Our skipper also provided a smooth and calming cruise. We did not do the drink package, but drinks were still for purchase.
