Fun experience with lots of banter along the way and great information shared. Was a wet evening but we still enjoyed our time.

Great tour, great guide.

Great guide, great tour. Wish we had a little more time at the picuteresqur ports but highly recommneded tour if you want to see a lot outside of Amsterdam in a shot amount of time.

It was ok

Antonietta_C, Mar 2025
Itinerary does not say you can have 3 wines only or 1 cocktail and sharing 2 pots of cheese between 2 people, boat not closed in. This was booked for 7 adults

Highlight of the trip - a must do!

This is a Must Do!

We had a FABULOUS experience on our canal boat trip! We did the VIP package and it was absolutely worth it! Drinks were in abundance and wonderful! But our Hosts Josh and Ties were beyond OUTSTANDING! They were Engaging, Funny, VERY Educational AND just all around fun! I highly recommend this one hour canal boat trip! We learned about the history of this wonderful city but Ties and Josh had great little gems about Amsterdam that we would never have known otherwise! Book this NOW! You won’t regret it!

Cheese&Wine Canal Tour, Amsterdam

S_M, Jun 2024
We had a terrible time finding the docking point. We spent over an hour following google maps and taking directions from people, only to finally get there, very hot, very cross and having missed our boat by 6 minutes. We had been on the other side of the canal at number 226 numerous times not understanding why the boat wasn't where it said it should be. However, the team were very 'can do', and said that we could go on the next trip. As we were quite obviously hot and bothered, they allowed us onto the boat and provided us with cool water whilst we waited for the next group to arrive. They did not. So we literally ended up with a private canal tour. Tallan and Tamar deserve an absolute 5* review for their enthusiastic delivery of the historical information during the tour. It was lively, amusing and very interesting. They were very good company for the whole trip. As we paid good money for this tour, we feel that the Company need to make sure to restock their drinks selection in between each trip. We were looking forward to a G&T as drink of choice, but were advised that there was non left. I had a rum cocktail which really was just coloured ice water. So the drinks service needs to be better. As we'd missed the Cheese and Wine tour we'd paid for, due to lack any proper signage/directions, we didn't sample any cheese, so we can't provide comment on that. I would have been writing to ask for a refund, if the company hadn't provided us with another option and this is the only reason we gave a 4* review. So, despite the terrible time trying to find them, once found, the private canal trip with Tallan and Tamar was outstanding, it was so much better than we'd expected, their commentary provided us with so many questions which they happily answered. We'd definitely recommend a trip with Tallan and Tamar at the helm. Many Thanks. Sarah & Ruth.

Well worth the time and money

T & Kat were fabulous. Kat made my 72 year old mothers trip to the Dam and she couldn't speak highly enough of her. They were so patient helping her in the boat with her disability and got a strapping young lad from next door to assist getting her out! Really funny, entertaining but also knowledgeable! Thank you and well done.

Cheese boat

Difficult to find ship. Captain was knowledgeable and entertains but trip only lasted one hour not two as advertised. We had to serve ourselves wine and cheese
