Wouldn't call this luxury at all, the boat shown on the pictures is not the one we went in, this was a covered one although the weather was lovely so we couldn't take pictures easily through the side covers. Also never pointed out parts of what the trip advertises such as the Anne Frank Museum.
Guide was funny & did have lots of facts but just wasn't a 'luxury' experience and shame they missed some of the sites we thought we'd see.

It is a wonderful tour gives you a lot of highlights as well as good cheese, wine and soft drinks. Viator never disappoints. Hosts were informative and funny.

This was so fun. Staff was so sweet and amazing. The tour was so cheep and fun and we got to see so much and it’s covered so rain won’t affect you

This tour is described as having 2 types of cheese and passing several iconic monuments in the city. There was only 1 type of cheese and we did not visit many of the listed pass bys in the description of this tour. I was incredibly excited to see Anne Frank’s house, but this just didn’t happen. The staff on board were very nice though.

I have done many canal tours in Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and Harlem and this tour was a step above most. The guide was fun and personable and kept our wine glasses full. The cheese was yummy and the boat was a good combination of inside and outside (had nice cover from the sun). The only negative would be how loud the motor was, it interfered with our enjoyment of being on the canal. It would be nice if Amsterdam instituted the "only electric motors" requirement that Haarlem has. It makes a big difference. So until then, you will have to put up with a really loud motor.

I was hoping for more information on the area we were going through! The focus was the wine and cheese! Our tour guides were lovely
Kira_F, Jun 2026
The tour was amazing! The guildes were very knowledgeable, entertaining, and energetic, making the tour very interesting and fun. The cheese and unlimited wine is also a must on this tour! Would highly recommend, we almost went again over our weekend trip!

Delightful morning wine & cheese cruise! Hosts were kind, helpful and informative, telling entertaining historical stories about the city along the way. The cheese was tasty and the wine plentiful. Would definitely recommend for couples, friends and adult family groups.
Kim_P, May 2026
I loved this tour. The wine was delicious and free flowing and the staff was funny and entertaining. It is a great way to see Amsterdam from the canal and enjoy some wine along the way.

Loren_H, May 2026
The host and skipper were very funny and informative!
I love gouda cheese yum yum yum!
It was super easy to locate the meeting location. The host was super attentive and gave us refills when needed/wanted!
Maria_L, May 2026
The canal cruise was just perfect. It was a beautiful day in Amsterdam so it made it that much more enjoyable. They served delicious cheese, wine and soda. Took you through different canals and offered great commentary.
Kristy_C, May 2026
Andre, Alycia, and Fran were fantastic. We had a wonderful time and learned a lot about the canals and the city. The wine and cheese were good. Make sure you check both sides of the canals around the Anne frank house for the boat.
Sharon_H, Apr 2026
Cruise is a very relaxed fun canal cruise. Our tour guide was great and created a fun atmosphere. Would highly recommend this tour.

Overall it was OK. Cover photos of the boat were misleading; our boat had closed, smudged windows (impacting view and photos), and we were not seated in a plushly lined boat (we had wooden slightly stained tables and chairs). It was nice to have the wine and cheese, and the guide came by quite frequently for refills which was nice. However, I would probably do more research next time and book with a different company.
Kathleen_A, Apr 2026
The boat is small but very comfortable and delightful. The captain was friendly and took us on a great tour. The tour guide had knowledge of Amsterdam and its history. Wine & cheese was plenty and a good variety.
Theresa_K, Apr 2026
Wonderful way to see many interesting places along the many canals. Our guide Matteo was very knowledgeable and the captain did a great job of navigating.
Ruth_C, Apr 2026
It was a wonderful introduction to Amsterdam. Beautiful evening, drinks and cheese! Perfect and the girls in charge were brilliant
Nicole_N, Feb 2026

Mark_S, Feb 2026
The tour guide was very informative and funny too! Many selections of wine and the cheese was tasty!

When we boarded the boat it was still a little messy from the group that just disembarked. The offering said two cheeses we only got one. Even though we each made our own booking we were also forced to share cheeseboards. They seemed very unorganized and not prepared for the next group to board. Juliet was scrambling to get bottles and drinks. There were two groups who ordered the bubbly and Juliet openly admitted she didn’t want to go looking for the bottles and asked if it was okay if they didn’t receive what they paid for. Once we got moving she had us all say where we were from and she clearly wasn’t happy we were from New York. As she gave random facts about the city she couldn’t keep up with refills for not only the back but also the front of the boat. When asked for a refill she seemed bothered by it and made me feel like I inconvenienced her. Also when multiple parties asked about the lights for the canal cruises she said they avoid them for traffic and when asked how to get that experience she ignored answering those questions. From her poorly delivered jokes and empty threats of running us over in the bike lane this experience left a lot to be desired. Overall I’d never book this again if I know She’s the guide. Doing this at night was also boring.

Horrible treatment from lady working for the cheese and wine chesse cruise yelled at us for being at the wrong location. Super racist and treated us very poorly made us go to the back of the line when we were the first ones there.
AlisonW, Nov 2025
It was a very fun and pleasant ride around the canal. Our hosts were really nice and brought fun un the way they explained stuff and kept us entertained.
Sam_O, Nov 2025
We thoroughly enjoyed our canal cruise. Our host guide was so humorous and informative! The wine and cheese definitely enhanced the experience as we took in the sites of Amsterdam.
Eileen_G, Nov 2025
Captain was experienced, and we had a safe ride. Guide was part stand up comic, part bartender and part guide. I could have done with less comic show and would have liked more history .
The wine and cheese didn’t meet my expectations. We were served a platter of cubed Gouda and choice of 3 wines, beer or soda. My expectation was it was a tasting of assorted cheeses. Even though, It all tasted fine.
Tina_R, Oct 2025
This was a lovely evening cruise with the wine and cheese option, our guide was great and answered any questions.
fred_c, Oct 2025
Flight from JFK to Amsterdam cancelled by Delta. Sent request for refund 24 hours before event three times and received no response.
James_O, Oct 2025
The boat is small and intimate in a good way. Sit in the back and you can see everything without any windows in the way. The snacks are delish. The guide is personable and funny. The ride gave us a good overview of the area and oriented us to the city center.
Tami_R, Oct 2025
Dean was the perfect host. Great wine and cheese. Nice boat and people. The tour was amazing. Comfortable
