Lucas was amazing and entertaining. Get the drink package. You won’t regret it! Beautiful way to see the city.
A must do - Cas was tremendous!!! Cruise was a great way to see the city at sunrise. Highly recommend!!!
Had a smaller group of 12 for the tour. Unique way to see Amsterdam and a better look at the houseboats in the canal. Our captain Cas was friendly and quick with stories and facts about Amsterdam and the Netherlands. Great for an evening pre dinner activity.
Kurt was the driver and was very informative and very good boat driver and funny! Well worth the price.
Very fun and informative canal tour. I would highly recommend. The small group format was wonderful!
Our guide was great funny, personable and informative. The tour it self cover a lot of the different neighborhoods. Snacks that were available tastee with some local favorites.
I did not think Viator was easy but the trip was delightful! Robert was a great guide, the boat was comfortable and the city was so cool. Nice wine and appies
Yuris was a great guide ! Very thorough, friendly, informative, funny.. and patient. This is a perfect tour for those who would like to see the whole of the canals in two hours! Thank you
This trip was made by the fact we had a good group of people on the trip with us and the tour guide well worth it.
Great tour guide. Knowledgeable and entertaining. Relaxing. Great snacks and drinks options. Being in a small group was perfect.
If I could recommend one experience in Amsterdam it would be this one. The boat was so nice, the snacks and drinks were great, and our guide Eli (apologies if I’m spelling that wrong) was the best!!! Super knowledgeable and funny. Truly the best way to see the city and so relaxing. On our cruise it was my partner and I and two other couples and it felt really special to not be on some huge cruise with a ton of people. Cannot recommend enough.
Great time with a great tour guide, really fun trip with a well educated tour guide, well be back for sure
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.
