Beautiful historic boat. Immaculate, very comfortable and just the right size. Covered to protect us from a rain shower, but optional open on the sides for the lovely breeze. Delightful!
Will, the captain/tour guide, was gracious, solicitous and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this memorable cruise.
We absolutely loved our boat ride with Will! He’s an attentive and knowledgeable captain, who has many great stories to share!
Me and my friend got lucky as we ended up being just the two of us on the boat which made the whole experience private. Will even changed the route to drop us off for dinner!
Would definitely recommend :)
This tour was recommended by a friend and we’re so glad they shared this with us! Will was a great captain and tour guide—he was engaging and welcoming to all on the boat. It was nice to be in a small historic boat and having conversation about the beautiful city rather than being broadcasted to on a crowded tourist boat. Highly recommend if you are looking for a smaller more intimate canal cruise!
We enjoyed this canal cruise very much! The boat itself was a small vintage wooden boat that was very cool.
The absolute highlight was our tour guide/captain, Will. He put so much incredible energy into explaining Dutch history, culture, and architecture. It wasn’t just a boring list of facts; his passion really brought the stories of Amsterdam to life.
Highly recommend this tour if you want a fun, energetic, and deeply informative look at the city!
**★★★★★ 5/5 - Excellent Small-Group Canal Cruise**
Extremely enjoyable canal cruise on the Saloonboat. Being a smaller boat, we could access narrow canals and areas the larger tour boats can't reach — a real highlight.
Our captain, Will, was entertaining and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating history of the Netherlands throughout the trip.
One note: despite the name, there's no hard liquor aboard the "Saloonboat." But the Merlot was phenomenal and served in proper red wine glasses.
Highly recommend for anyone wanting an authentic, well-run canal tour in Amsterdam.
Our canal tour was wonderful! The boat was a beautiful old, well-restored wooden boat with a salon and outdoor space. The captain, Yannick, was a great guide. He shared a lot of history and information about the canals and Amsterdam. He was very friendly and easy to talk with, which made our time on the boat very relaxing and enjoyable. I would recommend this tour to others.
Will (boat captain) a charming and entertaining guide. A wonderful experience - informative and peaceful. Highly recommend you book with him.
A very informative and genuine tour! The guide shared a lot of unique history of the city and was very funny.
