Great trip round canals and lights

Malcolm_C, Dec 2025

Excellent trip round canals. Very good guide and pilot cruised us round excellently. Only downside was no cheese on cheese and wine trip. Miscommunication somewhere but trip itself very good.

Fun evening cruise

Michelle_H, Oct 2025

We really enjoyed this cruise. The guys were fun and informative. Drink selection could have been better but we didn't book it for the drinks.

Booking didn’t actually go through

Inge_S, Nov 2024

The boat was great, but when we got there, apparently there was no actual booking. We paid for 16:30, but the boat only arrived at 16:45, after which we were told that we are at the wrong place, even though we did book with starboard

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you for joining our Amsterdam City Centre Highlights Cruise, we appreciate the feedback!

Boat not as pictured or described would not recommend

Paul_D, Dec 2023

The boat was not as pictured or described. It was not an open boat, rather had a roof which greatly limited visibility. I selected the trip based on the images and description so was very disappointed with what was provided. Would not recommend if you are after an open boat.
