Perfect evening on the water, we did the 7pm so caught the sunset and I might say the tour was even more beautiful at night with all the bridges lit up. Great guide, drink options and snacks. Perfect all the way around.
The guide was knowledgeable and informative. He was very personable and had a fun sense of humor. The snacks were delightful and the drink menu extensive.
Robert was Great guide, full of information. Boat was nice, easy meeting spot. A good overview of the city
Great 'round the canals look at the city, with terrific snacks and a full bar. Our guide didn't give much information about the history or city, however. If you're looking for a relaxing way to spend a few hours, great. We wanted more history & interesting tidbits about A-dam.
The tour was in the evening and beautiful. Our captain was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. The boat was small but nice and so cozy.
Comprehensive canal tour on a lovely boat with the best guide host. Upon arrival, we were graciously greeted by our tour host and presented with a beautiful charcuterie tray for 2 to share to enjoy along our journey. The ride and information about the sights was most enjoyable and informative. We had a beautiful sunny afternoon, which enhanced our experience.
Nice 2 hours. Small snacks, just enough. Informative and fun. Just the right number to make it a fun, social event
Was a lovely experience, informative and calm cruise. We found that it was mostly have a few drinks situation which isn’t us but it was overall nice experience
This was a perfect tour of the city. Our tour guide was amazing. He had so much knowledge and insight of the history of Amsterdam. We would definitely recommend to all our friends.
Lovely relaxing and informative cruise around the canals and main harbor. Loved the small group and very personable captain Mark. Perfect amount of snacks. Loved the electric boat so they are quiet and no diesel fumes. Wonderful experience
It can get rather chilly on the boat, so dress in layers. Boarding can be a challenge so not for anyone who is handicapped. We learned so much about Amsterdam. Robert was a great guide.
Great tour. It lasted almost 2 hours. We were a small group. There was a nice selection of beverages available for purchase. Our tour guide, Robert, was great!
We booked this canal cruise in the evening to take in the Amsterdam skyline at sunset & it was amazing. Our tour guide provided fun history of the city and doubled as a great bartender too.
This sucks! Had to pay for an Uber to and from and there is no boat at the meeting point. No communication at all.
Excellent experience. Loved that our tour guide grew up in Amsterdam. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions.
I totally recommend a small group tour.
Overall a great experience. Two hour tour is really necessary to fully experience Amsterdam canals especially at night. Boat was just the right size feeling intimate and spacious at the same time. Captain/guide was knowledgeable and personable. Snacks were free but beer and wine cost but were reasonably priced and very good quality and choice. Overall, I was very pleased with experience and would recommend.
Incredible experience with personalized touches. You really get to know Amsterdam on this tour. Tour operator was stellar!
Fantastic laid back experience – learned some things, but also was able to just enjoy the views! Highly recommend.
Great tour by Mark! Friendly, accommodating, good drink selections and interesting history lessons! A beautiful evening on the canals... thank you!
Our skipper did a great job of being informative while creating a fun and relaxing experience on our Canal cruise. The boat was quiet and comfortable and the snacks were just right in quantity and quality.
Fun interesting and informative. Our whole group enjoyed it Would highly recommend
We did an evening cruise
Feel bad that I don’t remember his name but the boat capt was very entertaining and educational. We only had 2 couples on the boat and he had fun with it. Much much more appreciated the personal touch in this tour versus so many of the other boats where everyone was plugged into glasses or the boat drive looked bored. Highly recommend this trip and that specific boat capt.
Fabulous time learning about Amsterdam. We had a great boat captain and a awesome boat, everything was on time
Very interesting stories and informative history while enjoying refreshments. Would definitely recommend this to my friends.
We had the pleasure of an individual tour, as others who had scheduled were scared off by predicted rain. The weather held and was perfect for us. This came off exactly as advertised and was very enjoyable. Our guide proved to be knowledgeable and engaging. It is really interesting to experience the city from the canal level, as you can see how integral they are to its history and structure. We greatly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend it.
We enjoyed this tour. Snacks were great. Drinks available for purchase but we didn’t need as we had just stopped for coffee. Lots of good information and a way to see and enjoy the canals. The boat was nice too.
Great way to see the canals! Our tour guy gave us a lot of information about Dutch history! Snacks were great too!
It was fine, they spilled wine all over my cheese board and didn’t offer to replace it so everything tasted like wine. Ride was late.
What a wonderful evening by with Elli at the helm. Such amazing local knowledge of the canals and the city and a great sense of humour. Lots of insight to food and other places to visit as well. Snacks and drinks were a great addition. Highly recommend taking this 2 hour cruise rather than an hour.
The tour was awesome. Our guide Joris was very nice and informative. He did a great job. The snacks were good and you could buy cocktails on the boat. Luckily we had a beautiful weather. We only had eight people on our boat, which was awesome.
