Our guide Edward & our skipper Toine were absolutely INCREDIBLE!! They were super friendly, knowledgeable, and FUN! So much fun that we stayed on the boat for a second tour! Would highly recommend this tour if you are in Amsterdam. It was an amazing way to see the city.

It was a last minute add on and was worth it would do it again. Worth the price and add on the drinks!

We had such an amazing experience on this canal cruise! We went on October 1st as part of a friends trip, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our time in Amsterdam. The setting was perfect—sailing along the UNESCO-listed canal ring while enjoying unlimited drinks made for such a fun and relaxing afternoon. Our guide, Yannas, was absolutely fantastic. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared great stories and insights that really brought the city to life. The mix of sightseeing, history, and a laid-back atmosphere with drinks created the perfect balance. I also loved that the boat was comfortable in any weather, with both open-air seating and a covered deck. Having the option between a 2-drink or unlimited drinks package was a nice touch too. If you’re looking for a unique way to take in Amsterdam’s beauty without the usual crowds, I can’t recommend this cruise enough. It’s fun, social, and a wonderful way to experience the city!

It was just below...

Biji_J, Apr 2026

It was just below average. The worst thing was unlimited drinks. Wine served was the worst ever wine. There was very little talk about the buildings or nfo. He was talking so quirtly and no one understand what he is saying. There are other river cruises and way better services.

Best Canal Tour!!

It was a last minute add on and was worth it would do it again. Worth the price and add on the drinks!

Not clear instructions

Trent_G, Apr 2026

I arrived at the location at 8:10 AM according to the map directions. Upon arrival, there was a sign with an arrow pointing down the side indicating where to meet. I spent about five minutes walking to that area to check if the tour was located there, but it was not. By the time I returned and walked along the canal, I saw that the boat had already departed. The address and meeting instructions were not clearly provided. My spouse and I kindly request a refund or the option to reschedule for a new tour on the 9th.

The guide was very...

Lee_R, Apr 2026

The guide was very knowledgeable and good fun , same can be said for the captain, what a day , what a city

Fantastic

Andrew_C, Feb 2026

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

Good drinks but guide didn’t say a word

Jack_V, Dec 2025

The tour wasn’t much of a tour just a ride on the canal, we chose the unlimited drinks option and the drinks were flowing which is the reason we’re giving it 3 stars. But the tour guide didn’t say a word to us or about the canals or literally anything. That was disappointing as we were expecting some local knowledge

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you for sharing this. I’m truly sorry the tour fell short of what you expected. Our guides should always provide local insights, and this is not the standard we aim for. We’ll look into what happened to ensure it doesn’t repeat. I’m glad the unlimited drinks were enjoyable, and we appreciate you letting us know.

It’s a great time with...

Jenna_K, Oct 2025

What a wonderful cruise! Edward is truly the sweetest and hardest worker. He spent time talking with us while also serving everyone else. Truly so lovely at what he does. He gave us local recs as well that we tried out and LOVED. Definitely highly recommend this beautiful tour with its wonderful staff.

Great Ams Tour!

Michelle_F, Oct 2025

We had an amazing time exploring Amsterdam with the fantastic guides & gorgeous views! The tour was really fun, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a boat canal experience in the city!

Good but not great.

John_N, Oct 2025

We were there at 1215 to learn that the time was changed to 1300. We had to climb across another boat to get to ours. If you have any type of mobility issue, I don’t recommend this tour. The beer and wine were flowing and the tour was good.

Nice boat and friendly...

Kubra_B, Oct 2025

Nice boat and friendly crew. We had fun, learned new stories about amsterdam and enjoyed the beautiful scenes.

Great Canal Tour

Tracie_G, Oct 2025

Great experience!

Erin_M, Sep 2025

Great experience on the canal tour as a solo traveler in Amsterdam. The tour guides Lawrence and Case were amazing! I was so interested to hear about the history, and they were so funny, too. I recommend the 5pm time as it was still quite nice out before dark!

Fun time though it rained...

Sherri_I, Jul 2025

Fun time though it rained the whole time. Might be a good idea to have more umbrellas and something to wipe the wet seats off with

Amazing guide and majestic views

James_M, Jul 2025

If you are looking for a quick one hour canal cruise then book this one! Our guide was very knowledgeable, provided us with great information and made sure we had ice for the rose and white they served. She provided lots of fun facts and was lovely!

Great cruise, great value

Beautiful, relaxed, amazing deal

beccakomer, Nov 2024

A very laid back and wonderful tour of the city. Definitely do unlimited drinks and prioritize doing this no matter the length of your stay in Amsterdam! We did the tour that started about ~30 minutes before sunset and it was beautiful.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Small group.

James_V, Nov 2024

Tebo was most interesting to talk to. He was willing to allow us to ask lots of questions. The only beer offered was Heineken but we were fine with that as it was cold and plentiful.
