Unlimited bubbles

Patrick_D, Apr 2026

Loved the unlimited bubbles, would have loved more info on the city though. Otherwise, I would book again.

Don’t opt for bubbles and bites not worth it

sheena_p, Apr 2026

We paid extra for bubbles and bites there was no prosecco they forgot to put it on the boat and the nibbles were a tiny pack of crackers. Those who had paid less had cheese and the exact same Fri is we received. The hosts were excellent however knowledgeable and engaging I would have been happier paying less for just the hour and knowledge.

Amazing canal cruise...

Lieke_W, Feb 2026

Amazing canal cruise pretty views and Nice stories about the city. The bites Where super good ans we had unlimited bubbles

Loads of fun and completely worth the cost!

Kelly_B, Nov 2025

Stef and crew were great. This was a fun and informative cruise and our glasses were never empty. Would definitely go again!

Fun, but not what expected!

Giulia_B, Oct 2025

The tour definitely wasn’t as advertised but was fun nonetheless. It was rainy and the boat was fully covered other than some foggy windows, so not many sights could be seen and it wasn’t much of a tour. There was definitely unlimited bubbles, and drinks of other kinds! The bites were good as well. The tour guide and boat driver were great sports, especially considering the bad weather. If you’re expecting a “romantic boat cruise”, this definitely isn’t it but it can be fun if you’re willing to get cozy with other people and drink lots.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear Giulia, Thank you for sharing your experience! We understand the boat may have looked different than expected. Our fleet is quite diverse, with over 60 boats operating, and each one is special in its own way. We apologize if this was not clear beforehand and affected your enjoyment of the cruise. We are glad to hear that you still had fun and enjoyed the drinks, bites, and our crew’s positive energy despite the rainy weather. Hopefully, next time the sun will be shining, so you can fully enjoy the canals and the romantic atmosphere! Warm regards,

Not romantic beware

Anita_K, Oct 2025

I’m not sure if we got put on the wrong boat, but we did not have bubbles and bites. We had wine and cheese and it was not romantic at all. We were on a boat with a bunch of college students who were celebrating a birthday and wanting to drink, could not see any sites because the boat was overcrowded and the girls running the boat in the bar just made a comment that they don’t sell the tickets so they can’t help the overcrowding. The boat looks nothing like the boat in the picture we drink out of plastic cups, not champagne glasses! They had a lot of people to have to refill cups for so it wasn’t really all you can drink. I have asked for a refund from Viator!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are saddened to hear that you were disappointed with your tour. Providing an enjoyable experience for all our customers is our top priority, and it’s disheartening to hear that we have fallen short in that regard. We are sorry that you felt that the tour you experienced was advertised differently. We can definitely understand how seeing other families and non-couples can negatively impact your experience, especially if you were expecting a romantic tour exclusively for couples. We truly apologise for the inconvenience and will address how we can be more transparent with the experiences we offer. Please feel free to contact us privately if there’s anything we can do to ameliorate the situation. We appreciate your feedback and hope we can welcome you again for a better experience. Best regards, Flagship Amsterdam Front Office Team

Sadly not what expected

Raymond_R, Aug 2025

The time was okay. They said romantic bubbly well it was not just couples but kids as well and only six of the 25 on the ship had the bubbly. It just wasn't as published

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Outstanding.

David_C, Aug 2025

What an incredible time we had the team was knowledgeable, charismatic, personable, outstanding across-the-board would happily do this again and many more times.

Great cruise with plenty of bubbles

James_S, Mar 2025

Brilliant cruise with plenty of Prosecco and cheese included. Excellent crew - highly recommended a great trip.

Beautiful!

Roberto_M, Mar 2025

Very nice boat. Really good information from the guide during the tour. We loved the wine and cheese!

It is better to walk than to take this tour.

aitorret, Jun 2026

It is not worth it. You go through the canal, but they do not share anything interesting. Many passengers take advantage of the open bar. Not pleasant.
