What a great trip. Crew was great. An appropriate amount of time spin on historical facts and the rest on some light comedy and small talk. I would have to say this was the best tour I've been on in a long time. The crew attended to our needs and made us feel special. One note is that this boat was the number one voted boat last year in all of Amsterdam. The boat formally owned by the Heineken family has bulletproof windows and is top notch. This is the tour to go on.

Very informative with John as our captain. Beautiful boat. Drinks & snacks made it a perfect evening.
Highly recommend! Our guide was fabulous; knowledgeable, funny, and skilled seamanship on the busy canals.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining on our canal cruise. It was so much fun touring the canals and learning about the history and culture of Amsterdam. We enjoyed a great selection of refreshments and cheese platters. The boat fit out was lovely, it was a small group and the canal cruise was great value.
Experienced navigational skills of GG, intimate number of passengers, polished teak finishes, and a wonderful historical perspective of Amsterdam makes this ride stand out above all the rest.
GG was great with a wonderful sense of humor! So enjoy our informative cocktail cruise through the canals. Perfect way to see Amsterdam!
This canal cruise was great for us at 2 hours. Experiencing Amsterdam from the water gave us a different prespective. So much history was explained by Captain John. He is an excellent host (and easy on the eyes…just saying...) The boat we were in was very new and spotless. Overall a very relaxing, fun and informative tour.
Snacks and beverage offer were excellent and our tour guide / Captain was knowledgeable and entertaining. The boat was gorgeous also with plenty of shade which was welcomed given it was a very hot and sunny day. Whilst on the canal you could see other tour groups with competing companies and it is evident we got what we paid for!
Guide was funny and very interesting. Food & drinks were great. Boat is very comfortable. Time flew by. My 15 and 20 year old children really enjoyed it too.
Lovely boat with snacks and seemingly unlimited drinks provided .
Our excellent and friendly captain/ guide Yuca kept us informed and entertained throughout our very serene 2 hour journey around the beautiful Amsterdam canals and river.
This was a really relaxing way to see the city by water. It is such a stunning place. I enjoyed the drinks and food.
It is a nice relaxing cruise through the canals. Capt Mouse was very nice and funny. They served a snack plate, wine and beer.
Great tour! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly! The snacks and beverages was an added bonus!
Very knowledgeable and personable guide. Floris was able to answer all questions and pointed out many interesting sites.
Fantastic experience! The boat was beautiful and our guide, Benjamin, was very knowledgeable. There were plenty of drinks and snacks, and we had an amazing time! Would highly recommend.
Unlimited wine. Unlimited cheese and crackers. Unlimited fun meeting new people. Great driver. Everything you would want.
Beautiful boat, great captain & tour guide (Casper). It was a perfect way to spend our first evening in Amsterdam.
Everything about this experience was fantastic… The boat was beautiful the Captain lovely and the rest of the crew were friendly, outgoing and knowledgeable… The food and wine were perfect. A great atmosphere and evening!!!
This is by far the nicest boat and crew on the canals. An elegant environment with great food and drinks along with expert guides providing the narrative along the way. Nathan was an excellent guide and host. This is the canal cruise to book.
Book this cruise! Fenton and Annabella were very informative of history around the canals and encouraged questions about different parts of Amsterdam. Kept our drinks full and yummy snacks.
Our canal host & driver was Okka, who was very engaging and full of knowledge of the city of Amsterdam. The boat was beautiful, the weather was beautiful, the food and beverage selection was great.
While this tour is more expensive than many other canal tours that are offered, it was well worth the cost for the exceptional.service we received.
The meeting location was convenient and easy to find. Boarding went smoothly. The boat was not crowded and the seats were comfortable.
I would highly recommend this tour.

Virginia and Pax were the very best guides! I loved Virginia’s deep knowledge of Amsterdam history and her fun stories about the history of the city. She brought a great vibe to the canal tour and made the whole experience spectacular! Highly recommend!
The captain and staff attended to our every need providing snacks and beverages along with an informative commentary about the canal. Very knowledgeable. The boat was quite comfortable. Relaxing.
Our canal cruise through Amsterdam was absolute perfection. Captain Will kept us laughing from start to finish with his sharp wit and playful charm, while Ellen impressed us with a wealth of fascinating facts and stories that brought the city’s history and character to life. The views from the boat were stunning, but what truly made the trip special was the warm, welcoming atmosphere on board. The food was delicious, the drinks were plentiful, and the service felt effortless. It was the perfect blend of relaxation, entertainment, and discovery — easily a highlight of our time in Amsterdam. Highly recommend!
We booked this last minute & we are SO glad we did. Virginia was the voice (tour guide) she did GREAT! You could hear her, she spoke well & shared a wealth of knowledge about the area! Kudos to the bar, keeping the bubbles going, cheese plates were perfect. Thank you to the captain & boat crew for keeping us a float - lovely & smooth ride on a very nice boat! We think 2 hours is the way to go.
An amazing way to learn about the city, the canals and the history of Amsterdam! We loved our cruise. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and professional. The food and drink were wonderful. And the intimate atmosphere just perfect! It happened to rain a bit and we were so grateful to be covered. Highly recommend!
We had a super time. The boat is immaculate, with leather seating and spacious tables. The windows were down and the glass roof was open. There were generously served drinks and nice snacks and good company. The views were constantly really interesting and the crew, Fond, Joe and Heine couldn't do enough for you and were also amazing. It was a trip highlight for us.
We did several canal cruises and this one was the absolute best. Best boat and service ! Pick this one !
Amazing ship, great info received during the tour. Highly recommend. The snacks we received were delicious and drinks were unlimited
the captain was hilarious, played great music too! annabella was an excellent tour guide and attentive bartender. lots of interesting history of amsterdam and the views were gorgeous. cannot recommend taking the evening cruise enough!
