Captain was great. Gave excellent information on the tour. Communication with passengers was very good.

Very knowledgeable, professional and ready for all kinds of weather. Take this early in vacation so you can use information the rest of your stay.

This would have been a 5 star review but we got there at 8:00 for our 8:15 cruise but after waiting we called the office to find out that the time had changed to 9:00 pm. We were never informed. 🤷♀️ The skipper ((Sven) was exceptional. He made our evening wonderful.
Andrew_K, Jun 2026
We loved our tour. Sven was great. There was a nice selection of wine, champagne, beer, and soft drinks available and the cheese board was a nice touch. Seeing the city from the canals at night was a fun way to see a lot of the city, especially if you don’t want to walk. We highly recommend this tour!

It's a lovely way to see Amsterdam. The boat itself is small, intimate and comfortable. We were supplied with snacks and drinks throughout the tour. Our guide Sven was informative and entertaining. Happy that we went at sunset, when the colours and lights of the city change.

Fantastic Night Canal Cruise in Amsterdam!
Our guide was born and raised in Amsterdam and it showed! He was friendly, honest, genuine, self-deprecating, and genuinely funny. He shared great history along with personal anecdotes that I could actually relate to, which made the whole tour feel much more personal and enjoyable.
We booked the 9:00 pm slot specifically to see the city lights, and it was the perfect choice. Having already seen the daytime views, the nighttime contrast was beautiful and really highlighted the canals in a whole new way. The snacks and drinks provided were just the right amount, especially since we had already eaten dinner beforehand.
My wife, her sister, her husband, and I all thoroughly enjoyed the full two hours. It was a highlight of our trip!
**Only tiny suggestion:** Adding some soft background music would enhance the ambience even more. Other than that, it was excellent – highly recommend!

Tour operator canceled our trip with very little notice. We are waiting to see if we get a refund. Viatour, if you are monitoring this review, please issue a refund as we are unable to contact you internationally.

Robert did a great job with driving and narrating, plus bar tending.
Time flew by and we saw a lot of interesting sights.
Amanda_H, Apr 2026
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!!!
Shelly_G, Apr 2026
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
Susan_R, Mar 2026
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!
Carrie_S, Mar 2026
The guide was funny and engaging. He was very conversational allowing your questions to help guide the information shared.

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!
Sarag_W, Nov 2025
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.
Jackie_F, Nov 2025
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!
Kim_S, Nov 2025
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!
Meredith_C, Oct 2025
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.
Janet_H, Aug 2025
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.
Haley_W, Aug 2025
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.
