We had a fantastic time cruising the Amsterdam canals! Our captain was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience fun and relaxing. It was such a great way to see the city from the water. Highly recommend!
Jacoba_B, Aug 2026
The guide was great. Two things to be aware of. The boat is open, no cover & the sun has been brutal. Better to go in the AM. Second, when booking be careful. We accidentally chose?? all inclusive. On the boat we found out another couple had made the same mistake. Beware!,

Seeing the city of Amsterdam with a great tour guide like Skipper Zen made it an amazing experience for myself and my sister Gigi. We had the unlimited drinks and bites. It was a fantastic 90 minute boat ride!

An absolute must when visiting Amsterdam! Captain David was entertaining, sharing facts, telling stories, and answering questions. My 13 year-old daughter took over as Captain, getting pictures at the wheel, making lifetime memories for her!
Andrea_A, Aug 2026

Great experience, my husband and I had an amazing time on this cruise. Beau did a fantastic job. Thank you!
Lisa_W, Aug 2026
Jessie was great. A relatively new captain he was personable and gave us a great tour. We got off course due to Pride parade but he kept us informed and made the extra journey quite memorable as we got to see places w wouldn’t have on the standard tour. Brava!
Sarah_L, Aug 2026
Wonderful canal cruise with our guide Roland, he was very knowledgeable about the area and pointed out a lot of cool sights I would have otherwise missed.
Pam_E, Aug 2026
We had Beau (Bo?) as our guide. Super fun talking to others from around the country. Our guide had answers to ALL our questions.
Laura_M, Aug 2026
A really informative and relaxed way to see Amsterdam from a different viewpoint. So much more peaceful than touring on foot, and with the knowledge and good humour of our guide Menno, we learned a lot about all sorts of aspects of the city, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions. The drinks and snacks were great too.
Wilson_K, Aug 2026
Great trip, lots of fun perfect view of Amsterdam from the water. Gohn was a perfect guide and captain. Wear sunscreen or cap as the sun was tough on the water. Would do this trip again

This was great. I got to see the city when it was snowing and it was beyond breath taking. I felt like I was in a snow globe. It was a lot of fun. I highly recommend

Gisela did an amazing job sharing the history and the sites from the Amsterdam canals. Highly recommend!
Bryon_Y, Aug 2026
Overall it was a nice cruise. The boat was a little larger than we expected- around 24 passengers. The captain was funny and knowledgeable (though it wasn't Captain Jack- it was a younger guy.) There was plenty of wine and some snacks (crackers, cheese, etc). I We had to wait a few minutes to dock as the dock was full when we returned, but that wasn't a problem.
Jodi_P, Aug 2026
What a great time! Menno was a great captain and guide! We had fun relaxing and learning about Amsterdam and the canals. Beer, wine and snacks were yummy too.

What a wonderful tour. Very knowledgeable guide and we had no others with us which was a surprise but a great time.
Pauline_O, Aug 2026
A lovely canal cruise with informative commentary by the friendly and knowledgeable captain (Jay), pointing out places of interest throughout. Great to have drinks and snacks provided as well as umbrellas to keep the sun off.
Tricia_G, Aug 2026
This is the best canal cruise we’ve taken. Frodor was funny and very informative! There was plenty of wine and beer and light snacks. He guided us down most of the canals and it was a great experience! Highly recommend!!
Derek_M, Aug 2026
We had a great time on this tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the city. I think 90 minutes is the perfect length for a tour.
Karl_S, Aug 2026
Great tour guide (Anna). We really enjoyed her energy, insights and humor all through the tour. Informative, great snacks and drinks, and a pretty thorough tour of the city. Accommodated our group of ten very well. Definitely recommend.
Mitch_J, Aug 2026
We highly recommend this canal cruise! A leisurely stroll through the canals to admire the architecture and learn so much about this amazing city. Our guide, Captain Tim, was funny and informative. The 8pm cruise was the perfect time of day for a beautiful night out on the water.
