This small group canal cruise was a highlight of my trip. Captain Storm was a fantastic host and captain, with a dry sense of humor that made the experience even more fun. He shared great Dutch history and interesting facts along the way, and did an excellent job creating a relaxed, friendly vibe with the group. I did the sunset cruise and highly recommend it. Watching the sun set over the canals and the city was absolutely beautiful. The drinks and snacks were a perfect touch. Definitely worth booking.

The canal tour was an excellent way to experience the city and to learn more about its history and culture. Stephen was a great pilot and host. I would recommend this tour without reservation.
It was the perfect way to see Amsterdam and be totally relaxed! Stephan was a perfect tour guide who gave us a mixture of history and insight, while still having a fun time.
We had a lovely experience on this canal cruise with Captain Erik. The boat is comfortable, the ride is smooth and slow, and the snacks were great. Erik was informative and funny. We learned a lot and got to see so many sites in Amsterdam. Highly recommend!
Wonderful tour with personal service and a unique ability to have direct conversations with the Captain. Captain Storm is very energetic, knowledgeable and fun - can’t say enough about how much fun we had.
Loved it! Very well versed in the history of Amsterdam. The cruise was relaxing and comfortable. Highly Recommend.
Perfect intro to Amsterdam ! Great tour for first afternoon after arrival. Enjoyed a nice. relaxing, informative tour as well as light snacks and beverages including beer, wine and a special local alcoholic beverage.
This was a great canal cruise and a lovely way to see the city! Captain Erik was a fantastic guide, the wine and snacks were definitely a nice touch. It's also a nice way to meet other travelers!
What a great trip. Captain Storm was knowledgeable and funny and his boat was set up with appetizers and the bar was flowing. He took the time to stop and pick up the BEST bitterballen you will ever have. Try to take the nighttime cruise, you won’t be disappointed!
It was a nice tour. We would have preferred more points of interest pointed out and less personal stories. Also, the comments about the US were offensive and incorrect.
The captain was very knowledgeable and the food and drinks were great! A nice relaxing tour. A Dutch treat!
Mare was fantastic! She was knowledgeable and witty. Mare was extremely proud of her city and willing to share her insights. We all agreed our favorite tour in Amsterdam! This tour is a small group tour which makes it easy to hear and ask questions. The food and drinks were excellent.
We we recommend this tour and Mare!!
Capt Storm was great. Encouraged any question and he knew so much. The smaller group was ideal as everyone got to know each other. This made the cruise even better. Highly recommend
This was the perfect canal cruise. Boat was cozy, inviting and nicely kept. Extraordinary service, snacks and drinks were delicious, and our guide was knowledgeable and delightful. We did this on our first afternoon in Amsterdam and it was a great introduction. Highly recommend!!
Great tour. Had a great time. Was intimate and much better than what one of the bigger boats would have been. Very satisfied with it.
Excellent cruise! Warm and friendly welcome and very informative.
Food and drink was very good quality
Captain Eric was a wealth of knowledge and a great host on this boat ride. Really enjoyed the small, personal group.
Excellent way to relax and see the sites with great snacks and drinks. Our guide was knowledgeable and very helpful
Captain Eric provided an amazing experience. His knowledge of Amsterdam and the canals is impressive, and he shares personal knowledge since his family has lived there for several generations.
It was fantastic, absolutely everything perfect .
Would use this company again.
We met the owner who was very kind. The captain of the ship was very friendly and knowledgeable.
We had a wonderful time. So glad we picked a small group to see Amsterdam from the water. Our "lady captain" (so sorry don't remember her lovely name) was kind, full of knowledge and humor, and had a good selection of snacks and drinks ready for us. We even got to taste a Dutch gin. If you don´t take a boat cruise like this, you have not seen Amsterdam! This boat trip lasted 2 hours and at the end we all wanted to stay longer. That´s how memorable this experience was. I wanted to point out that I usually don't do well on boats, especially when the boat rocks a little. For people like me don't let this prevent you from going!! You will be absolutely fine:) Thank you for a fantastic evening.
This was the perfect evening canal tour. Our Captain was entertaining, the snacks and drinks were excellent, and the views amazing! We highly recommend Captain Storm's tour.
Had an incredible morning cruising the canals with our captain, Eric! He gave us everything we wanted to know about both modern and historical Amsterdam’s
The whole canal cruise was great from start to finish. The highlight had to be Captain Storm who was so entertaining and answered so many questions about Amsterdam. He was funny and engaging throughout. The boat was great quality, very comfortable and the food and drink brilliant. The Bitterballen was fabulous. Loved every minute and was the high of the whole trip to Amsterdam. Loved it and 10000% recommend it.
Had a wonderful evening cruise with Stephan as our guide. Great small group cruise with plenty of snacks and beverages. Stephan was funny and informative. 10/10.
Much smaller than most boats, this is an excellent way to spend 2 hours getting to see Amsterdam. Unlimited snacks and drinks. A roof if it rains. Gregarious and knowledgeable captain. Super trip!
Wonderful no lines getting on the boat and the captain very nice, there was snacks and wine and beer, also water sodas. A not so touristy cruise, felt more intimate.
Stefan the skipper made the entire experience both fun and informative. He is truly a subject matter expert when it comes to the Netherlands.
Thank you for a wonderful experience.
We had a great time in spite of the rain. Mara was informative, funny and full of knowledge. Great way to start our trip to Amsterdam.
Great experience all around from the guide to the snacks and drinks. I Highly recommend this company.
Tour guide was very knowledgeable and had great sense of humor. We learned a lot about the history of Amsterdam.
