Amazing host, made my anxious girlfriend so comfortable, drink service intertwined with unbelievable knowledge. Can’t recommend enough.
Zara_S, Aug 2026
So much fun. Excellent tour guides and amazing views of Amsterdam. Highly recommend. Went in the evening so not too hot and super pleasant
Tanya_G, Aug 2026
Loved it the guide was good drinks were flowing I would recommend the guide to have a microphone so people could hear more but not a problem it was definitely a lovely experience
Gina_R, Aug 2026
This was a great way to end a long day of walking. The boat was open top and we luckily had the best weather. The tour guides shared good info along the way and made drinks. I highly recommend.
Ryan_G, Aug 2026
Know that there can be as many as 15-20 other people on this boat, and if at full capacity, it will be a tight fit!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Dear Ryan,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We’re sorry to hear that the boat felt a bit crowded during your outing.
During our high season, we do see a larger volume of guests eager to get out on the water. While our boats are operated within safe capacity limits, we always aim to ensure everyone has a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
We really appreciate your note and hope to welcome you back again for a more relaxed trip!
Warmest regards,

This was a great way to see the city and learn some history. We were visiting during a cruise. Our starting location was right outside Anne Franks house. We were able to do a little exploring around the area before take off. Staff was friendly and engaging. They made sure to include everyone in conversation. The boat was very clean and beautiful. I had lots of fun. This was one of the top highlights on my vacation.
Cherra_O, Aug 2026
Getting onto this was an awful experience. We showed up at our scheduled departure time to find out the boat was “full”. What? The guy made a “call” and we were told to catch the next one 20 min later but apparently these two guys are well known for taking people who didn’t have the time slot anyways. But through luck we wound up with Claire and Elizabeth who were extraordinary! So I’m convinced fate stepped in. We also got a free drink for our troubles. They explained the “boys” from the other boat are well known for letting anyone from any time slot into their boat and they’ve actually complained about them too. But Claire was a hilarious tour guide and Elizabeth was an amazing boat captain. So I feel like the mistake worked out for the best anyways!

The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable! I loved the views, the snack was just okay and I thought the seats were uncomfortable but overall an enjoyable experience!
Stephanie_L, Aug 2026
We all had a great time! The guides were great, funny and very knowledgeable. Cute boat and had some nice drinks. Would go again.
Troy_W, Aug 2026
Absolutely false advertisement. The boat pictured is not what we received. We booked the boat for the beautiful orange open top boat and were ready for pictures. The operator put us on something entirely different. We tried talking to the young lady but she was insistent towards us.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for letting us know, and we're sorry for the mix-up — receiving a different boat than the one you booked and pictured for isn't the experience we want, especially when you were looking forward to it. We're also sorry the conversation with our team member didn't leave you feeling heard. Please reach out to us at info@flagshipamsterdam.com so we can look into what happened and make it right.

The boat is not covered like others
It got really hot under the sun for the whole ride. Not a guided tour as I thought it would be. No narrative of landmarks along the Canal at all. They over-packed the boat so it was very tight & uncomfortable. The Grey Line Canal boat would have been a better choice for me.
Lon_A, Aug 2026
Drinks are good variety lite bits ( crackers) they do have wine and cheese tours on different tours. Guides were great
STEPHEN_T, Aug 2026
Be careful what you have booked. Going by pictures we had assumed open top boat with cheese wine and unlimited drinks. Ended up on longer boat with no cheese but box of crackers but did have unlimited red, white wine and beer but no sparkling which was on other boat
Terri_R, Aug 2026
It was a great way to see the area but I was very disappointed that the listing was misleading. Yes we were on a boat but there was no flowers and it wasn’t the luxury feeling or look we were expecting. The crew however was fantastic and very attentive
Cleverston_M, Aug 2026
Wonderful, fun and informative experience. Tour guides were knowledgeable and fun. I highly recommend it.
Michelle_W, Aug 2026
A lovely experience and you learn a little history about Amsterdam which is nice.
We all really enjoyed this cruise and would definitely do it again.
anupshah, Jul 2026
Nice cruise. Wish more time was given in explaining the overall history of the canal. They guy serving drinks had not way to wash his hands. I would never buy a drink on this cruise.
Michelle_M, Jul 2026
Great tour, Kevin and TJ (I think) were amazing. Had fun and learned a lot about Amsterdam. Great experience
Tanya_B, Jul 2026
The tour was a lot of fun. The tour guide, Vince, was very knowledgeable and interactive with everyone. I learned some interesting facts about Amsterdam and it's people. The captain, Teun, was also helpful. I will consider this tour on our next family vacation.
Gareth_P, Jul 2026
100% Recommend! Great service and staff. A fantastic way to see the sights of Amsterdam and relax also.
Chad_R, Jul 2026
Great tour and great operators. I recommend this tour without reservation. Great way to see the city.
Molly_M, Jul 2026
A great way to see Amsterdam. I learned some things about the architecture that I would have missed from walking since the perspective changes from the water.
James_P, Jul 2026
You have to BUY DRINKS.......TITLE IS MISLEADING. save money go with no beverage cruise. Other than that our cruise director Sam was great....
Anna_M, Jul 2026
This tour was fun, informative, and the boat was beautiful. Unfortunately, I can’t recall the names of my tour guides but they were very entertaining. We only had a couple of nights in the city and got to see a lot. Thank you!
Becky_M, Jul 2026
No "nibbles" provided. Directions to location are poor. Had to request wine.
When we inadvertently went to the incorrect site (same company), they refused to allow us to go on the ride from that location. Made us run to the address for the other boat (I was with a 74 year old woman who's had her open heart surgery). The two employees on out boat were pleasant, though
Yue_S, Jul 2026
Amazing tour experience and the guide was wonderful! Very interactive. Learned a lot of history and culture! Highly recommended!
Teresa_H, Jul 2026
Our tour guide and boat operator were awesome! I cannot remember their names, but the tour guide was a short white female from North Africa, I think? And the driver was a 20 year-old white college kid from Amsterdam. She was funny, informative, and the drinks were excellent! He navigated an incredibly busy canal with ease. The timing was perfect with kids - 1 hour was just right.
Rhonda_S, Jul 2026
Good experience. Very clean boat and friendly staff. It was sometimes difficult to hear the guides as they were sharing facts about the canals. If they could speak louder or wear a mic that would help. Good value.
Dave_H, Jul 2026
Do a longer tour if can, an hour went by quick. It was a beautiful tour and some interesting facts but we wish it was about 30 to 45 mins longer
