A wonderful way to start our Amsterdam trip! We learned a ton, the wine and snacks were delicious, and we had a great time chatting with the people on the boat. Our captain was knowledgeable and hilarious. Highly recommend!!!

We really enjoyed our canal cruise with our guide, captain, and bartender, Able, at the helm. The nibbles were tasty and there was a nice selection of drinks.
Samir_M, Apr 2026
Boat ride started off nicely with snacks and wine. You pay for drinks and they have good selection. Snacks are free. It is open boat that can seat 12-15 so best for nice days. Unfortunately the boat stopped working on way back so we were let off early. Fortunately for us, it was close to our hotel

Very informative! Guide was very helpful and inquired about our needs several times! The snack boards were delicious and had a good variety of flavors!

What a wonderful evening- we saw the beautiful sites, had wine and appetizers and made new friends. It was an amazing experience and our guide and the boat were wonderful. Highly recommend this fun activity.

It was a great time, and we enjoyed our host and the tour he took us on. He was very informative and prepared, kept us warm, and had a good spread of refreshments.

Loved this tour. Beautiful evening. The boat was cozy, lovely food and drink, and our skipper was outstanding!

So easy to book and the directions were really clear, making the pick-up point simple to find. The boat was clean, cosy, and super comfortable. The Dutch snacks were a hit and it was very easy to grab a drink along the way.
The best part was our captain — a young guy but incredibly knowledgeable. He told us all about Amsterdam, its history, and the stories behind the incredible buildings and canals we passed. He made the whole experience so interesting and enjoyable.
We absolutely loved our time on this tour and would highly recommend it.

We had an incredible nighttime canal ride in Amsterdam! The city looked absolutely magical under the lights, and the whole experience was smooth, relaxed, and full of great stories. Abel was on top of his game — engaging, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history and hidden gems. It felt like we were seeing a completely different side of Amsterdam. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a memorable evening on the canals!

We ended up having a private, night tour of Amsterdam with Jay due to some rainy weather. Jay shared some interesting facts about Amsterdam and recommended a few good local spots to try some food. We enjoyed it!

I had a beautiful ride and would do it again!!!!!
We had a little rain but there was great communication and there was also great history!
Mel_A, Oct 2025
Absolutely lovely tour through the canals of Amsterdam. Tour guide (Gert) was great. He did a wonderful job of explaining much of the history of Amsterdam and show us the beautiful sights. Would highly recommend.
SusanneM_M, Sep 2025
We really enjoyed seeing Amsterdam at night. The tour was comfortable and informative. A good way to see the city.
Lesa_J, Sep 2025
There were many wine and beer options that were offered throughout the tour. Our tour guide, Mark, was exceptionally knowledgeable of Amsterdam and was very pleasant and friendly. I’m thinking about booking a daytime cruise tomorrow!
Heidi_S, Sep 2025
After a few blips with scheduling, the customer service really stepped it up and made things right. I’m glad because it was a great little canal cruise. Beautiful, small group setting. Showed us a lot, learned some things and captain was fun. Make sure you get the booking details confirmed -but anything that didn’t work right through scheduling for this trip, they did want to make it right.

Tour changed time so we couldn’t go. We had plans so we paid for a trip we couldn’t take…through no fault of our own
Kristin_S, Aug 2025
Such a wonderful experience on our final evening in Amsterdam. Abel, our captain, was fantastic. He’s knowledgeable, engaging, entertaining and accommodating. You can tell he’s passionate about the city and its history, and really enjoys what he does. We really lucked out having him as our captain and guide on this cruise.

My husband and I had a wonderful evening on this cruise. We were originally scheduled on an evening cruise through our river cruise provider, but that was cancelled just before our trip. A quick search turned up this option - with great reviews, so we quickly booked. Communication with the guide prior to the event was very good. The boat was fabulous and the service was top notch. Our captain shared a ton of knowledge about Amsterdam.
Lori_G, Aug 2025
We did a 9pm tour and it was lovely. The city was quiet and the lights reflected off the water making the journey magical. Our guide, Captain Pete, was knowledgeable and fun.

beautuful evening cruise with friendly captain, full moon too. Boat was very nice and comfortable. Weather beautiful.
Elizabeth_C, Jul 2025
This canal cruise was fantastic. Camille (our captain) was wonderful about sharing so much history and interesting facts along the way.
The only downside was that there was no bathroom on the boat. That was one of the items we needed and had been advertised that was one. You should notify passengers prior that this boat does NOT have a toilet.
Julie_M, Jul 2025
The cruise started at 9pm, and it was beautiful to see the city and the canals Iit up. Jules was not only the “captain” but the tour guide as well. He was knowledgeable, funny and friendly.
Timothy_V, Jul 2025
Great tour and experience. Our guide was great and doing the night tour was the way to go. The bridges were lit up and it was amazing. Definitely recommend!!
Janeth_W, Jul 2025
It was easy to find the location. The boat was comfortable, and the food was good. However, the guide we had was the worst ever. I do not remember his name, but he said he was Norwegian and had long hair. He didn’t tell us much info about Amsterdam at all. He was pleasant but talked mostly about politics and beer. He ignored me when I asked a specific question and kept talking about beer. My sister was ready to jump out of the boat about 10 minutes into the cruise. It was that bad. I’m sure this could have been a wonderful experience for my sister and me but having such a horrible kind really ruined it for us. I rarely post a negative experience, but I felt like this one needed to be posted.

Easy to find, on time departure and return. It was an electric boat and very quiet. This booking was not sold out and there were extra seats available with plenty of room. Very nice day/evening not sure what cold or rainy conditions would do since the boat is only partially covered (as far as I could determine). Small plate of snacks (cheese crackers, meats, grapes) and glass of wine or drink included. More available for a fee. The navigator and tour guide spoke easily understandable English and was enthusiastic in both delivery and in answering questions. Two hours went by very quickly. We both enjoyed it and would take another canal cruise anytime.
Tom_M, May 2025
Awesome experience. Totally worth it. Lots of fun!! Very informative!! Highly recommend!! I would book this again if I hard enough time!!
Heidi_H, May 2025
The live guide was late arriving at the pick up location by 10 mins. The evening canal ride included cheese, fruit and snacks, including bar. I misunderstood and assumed a drink(s) were included. The guide did not offer any drinks to guest until we were 45 mins to an hour into the ride. Please know before booking drink's were not free if the reservation mentions ‘and bar’. We enjoyed to canal ride and the guide was good. Learned a lot of information.
