Great tour and guide

Laura_S, Jul 2025
Tour guide was so knowledgeable. He was from the US but has been here a year or so. Seemed to know the area well and answered all our questions

Great tour!

The staff were very knowledgeable and helpful! Have been on a canal cruise before but enjoyed this one the most.

Great value

Evening Canal Cruise

Adam_S, Aug 2023
My original boat was cancelled but the replacement was great. The skipper was very friendly and the crew helpful.

Recommended.

Hendrik_W, May 2023
Although, the guides are knowledgeable and the stories are interesting. It is not the most exiting thing to do. perhaps it suits a leisurely holiday. For me its just "must do" but not really something I generally enjoy.

Not what we signed up for

JIM_B, Aug 2022
We signed up for an open boat ride night cruise with “Flying Dutch” boat company. I checked their fleet and all boats were open air. Instead we were on a closed cruise with no air circulation, in a dead sweat. Could not wait to exit!

No reliable boat tours

Henning_S, Jul 2022
The evening cruise at 21:00 from Anne Frank House in Amsterdam did not take place for unknown reasons from Flying Dutch Boats. No information so far if credit card transaction has been cancelled. Really bad bad service, not reliable.

No show & no communication!

Keri_C, Jul 2022
We were excited to take this evening cruise in Amsterdam. We were extremely disappointed when our boat & guide were a no show at the designated location. We were told by another boat company that Flying Dutch Boats had a last minute company party & would not be doing any canal cruises. Very unprofessional & what a scam to take our money online and not contact us about this booking conflict. We have not heard from the company as we sent numerous messages requesting answers. Do not book with this company! They fine know how to communicate nor run a company!

Buyer beware

Jana_B, Jul 2022
It was a no show. I was very disappointed . Had to catch another one. But i do recommend seeing the city at night

Loved it

Aino_A, Jul 2022
Evening cruise is such a beautiful way to explore amsterdam. The host told us a lot about the city. Good wine and cheese, can’t complain!

Great canal cruise!

Hayes_G, Jun 2022
Great host and scenery! And interesting facts and stories. Added a lot to our visit in Amsterdam. Definitely recommend this cruise!

Stein and Stella were...

Jose_T, Jun 2022
Stein and Stella were amazing. They have great chemistry and they made the cruise very relaxing and entertaining.

Boat did not show up

Celine_K, Jun 2022
The boat didn’t show up, we were at the location since 21:15 and until 22:00. We saw many boats from the company “Flagship” and we kept asking them if they heard about Flying Dutch Boats (the company we were supposed to have a cruise with) but no one seems to have heard about it. At that boat we started wondering if this whole thing was a scam. Absolutely shameful. If you can please guide me as to where I can request a refund as this is completely unacceptable.

Worthless - Making money with tourists.

Sebastian_P, May 2022
20€ for just a few informations in 50 minutes that could not even been understood because of missing microphone/speakers. Focus was more on drinks than the surrounding.

Great night activity

Grace_R, Jan 2020
We had a lovely time on the boat seeing the lights festival and drinking it was a really really nice night out. And the tour guides we're great too!

Schöne Rundfahrt, nettes Team

Pia_T, Aug 2022
Sehr nettes Team, die interessante und lustige Geschichten über Amsterdam erzählen. Nebenbei kann man einen schönen Cocktail trinken und die Fahrt genießen.

Traumhaft

Angela_G, Aug 2022
Es war super schön und man konnte die Zeit zu zweit genießen. Man hat viel gesehen von Amsterdam, besonders das beleuchtete Nachtleben.

Wunderschöne und unterhaltsame Abendfahrt

Jacqueline_W, Jul 2022
Die Guids haben uns mit viel Herz und Humor eine wunderschöne Fahrt ermöglicht. Dabei konnten wir viel lachen, aber auch etwas lernen :-) Dankeschön, besonders an Sophie

Anderes Boot als gebucht

Karl_J, Jul 2022
Dieses Boot gab es nicht. Wir nahmen ein anderes; auch früher empfahlen uns die Leute vor Ort eine Rundfahrt.

Schade

Gudrun_K, Jan 2020
Wir waren den letzten Sonntag, am 19.1. Waren enttäuscht, bei einer abendlichen Schiffstour nur sehr wenig zu sehen. Sind extra angereist. Schade

Bella esperienza

Laura V, Jan 2020
Piacevole gita in barca lungo i canali con vista delle installazioni luminose del festival. Personale simpatico e preparato. Visto le temperature avrei preferito delle bevande calde ma nel complesso il giudizio è più che positivo.
