The guided tour was excellent, the scenery was beautiful, and taking a canal cruise in Amsterdam is a highly recommended choice.

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

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

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.

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
David_H, Jul 2026
Everybody was very welcoming. The captain was really nice and very attentive along with good information.
William_p, Jul 2026
Excellent service on the cruise. Personalized tour with great interaction and very relaxed and enjoyed the time. Need to update cushions for the back
Susan_N, Jul 2026
I would suggest not sitting in the front. The flowers block your view. I was hoping for more information, but it was a nice ride.
Lily_N, Jul 2026
Nothing against it, it just wasn’t what we were looking for. An hour was too short for these canals, and especially too short to enjoy the unlimited drinks option. The snack was a single box of mixed crackers (no cheese, etc.). The tour guides were great and everything went smoothly and was on time, I just thought it was very touristy and maybe there’s a better option to see the canals. We specifically chose 8:30pm to see the sunset on the water and the route we took didn’t allow us to see the sunset at all, a bit disappointing. Last thing, the bartender and captain were great and full of information, but we could barely hear them! They should have microphones if they want to sell more of a guided tour. Overall not bad, just not what I wanted.
Reza_A, Jul 2026
The tour leader was great , everything was great , fantastic tour, we really enjoyed it , the best Canal tour .
Aleah_L, Jul 2026
I booked this experience online just over an hour before as it was my last day in Amsterdam and wanted to make the most of the evening. It cost 40 euros for 2 people. When I turned up around 10 minutes before they told me the last boat of the day had already left. This was very disappointing since I was excited to go and had ruined my last day in Amsterdam. I find this company extremely unprofessional and I find it ridiculous how they can sell tickets for a particular time when the boats go at different times. Very misleading! Don’t waste your money on this company. There are much better ones out there instead.
Rose_A, Jul 2026
Great experience, the guides were amazing. Shoutout to to Luciana she was excellent and very entertaining
William_D, Jul 2026
Excellent captain and the orator did a great job of telling the history of the city and it didn’t hurt that he was a great bartender. Gave each section extra attention and made us all feel special.
Ann_A, Jul 2026
Really good trip, we had the newest boat and it had loungers in it , we paid for the drinks and you could have as many as you wanted. Both guys running the boat had a lot of knowledge about Amsterdam, which re really enjoyed, we could have done more than an hour
Derek_H, Jul 2026
Excellent the host on board were fantastic and really very helpful a credit to your company they couldn't do enough for us so thank them very much
Susan_B, Jul 2026
It was a great experience. Great guides. Only complaint is this said unlimited drinks - yes. Unlimited small bites not so much. At the very end, they hand you a small container of small crackers. No cheese, no anything. Not sure why they even mention that - it’s not even needed in one hour. We loved the trip, just eat before you go.
Hayden_T, Jul 2026
What a great experience, with great hosts. Their personalities were perfect for a great time, & information provided was excellent!
Kaya_R, Jul 2026
This was a really fun experience with great service. I accidentally missed my first time slot and they were so understanding and helpful. The tour was educational and fun.
