Absolutely amazing in all aspects!! Food excellent, staff very polite and professional with a lovely smile and all on an elegant canal boat.
It was really pleasant as it was a nice small group of mainly couples. A must in Amsterdam.

I booked this cruise for my partner's 'big birthday' and it was a huge success. The staff were very friendly and professional, and knew a lot about the area, as well as the light festival - much of which we could see from the river. The food was exquisite, all served hot and perfectly cooked. There were only 5 tables on board (11x people in total) which made for a quiet and intimate experience. Overall, this was wonderful and I would definitely recommend it.

Excellent staff, attentive and helpful. Good food, quiet but good music. Interesting route. Would highly recommend.

The whole experience was amazing. I came all the way from America, and it was the highlight of my trip. The staff was courteous, and kind. They we're very attentive, the food was delicious and the service was top tier. I really appreciated the efficiency of the whole operation. 10/10 would recommend.

The three hour canal dinner was very nice. We had a beautiful evening and could sit outside a bit between courses. The food was amazing and service superb.

I’d like to first say that the staff were wonderful and the evening cruise in Amsterdam was breathtaking! We loved being able to go outside on the deck and just enjoy the views in between courses.
I normally don’t write any negative reviews but I felt I had to on this one. The food was really really terrible. It was probably the worst meal we had in Amsterdam. We’re very easygoing and we didn’t let it ruin our evening but it was inedible. We all got different things for each course and nobody was happy with their meal.
Once again we enjoyed the experience as a whole but they should really seek to make improvements with the catering.

there are not any memorable moments that we could have for future, like our France dinner cruise. the boat is small and cozy, that is good. But the boat design and wood frames around it block the water view. all the time we saw buildings that was all. food was not that memorable too.

A highlight of the trip! Everything was perfect….relaxing, great music, etc. Crew was ***** five stars!! We wish we could have chocolate as a dessert option in this wonderful part of the world known for chocolate 😊❤️ but food was v nice!

What more could you ask for? A 20 meter restored 100 year old wooden canal boat, a beautiful evening, knowledgeable and attentive crew, with great food and wine. A perfect anniversary evening.

The time on the boat was lovely. The food, wine and the woman that served us was all outstanding. It was a trip to remember.

From the beautiful warm welcome from our two waitresses -we knew that the evening was going to be a success .The tables were set immaculately and our cruise boat was warm and welcoming . Our Captain sailed us smoothly through the canals whilst we enjoyed drinks outside with our fellow diners .The meal itself was amazing !—-every mouthful was an absolute delight and the ambience sailing whilst eating was magical . Would definitely do this again and would recommend to anyone visiting Amsterdam to experience this ——-

We had the best time. Captain and waitress was lovely. There was only 13 of us on our boat and everyone chatted on the deck. We had lovely weather so this made the experience even better. My fiancé also proposed under the skinny bridge 🩷 the captain and waitress was lovely and made it perfect for us. The food was absolutely gorgeous. Would highly recommend this to anyone. It was a fantastic evening!

This was a great cruise with amazing food. Beautiful views the whole way. Not over crowded. The overall quality and value was top notch.

Had written confirmation. Arrived at meeting point. No one, no boat. Called boat company...they were closed. Called Viator and all they could say was we can put in for a refund. No assurance of a refund. We had just had an expensive cab ride to meeting point.

It was a great day with excellent service and a very delicious lunch. We enjoyed it very much. We can highly recommend this tour.

The views on the canal.The delicious dinner and exceptional service by the captain and our server Isabel made it a most memorable evening.

Amazing cruise with a truly 5 star dinner with extra attention paid to gluten & dairy free menu requirements. Excellent staff & beautiful views. Would highly recommend
Amanda_M, Nov 2023
Great food. It was raining so we couldn’t see the sights as well as we liked, but probably much nicer in better weather. The staff was very nice and attentive.
Joseph_F, Oct 2023
Had a lovely time - the boat was nice and the staff was very friendly. The food was pretty good as they had a caterer they would pick the courses up from throughout the ride. Would do it again next time in Amsterdam
Jocelyn_O, Oct 2023
We happen to have wonderful weather the evening of our cruise. We were able to sit on the back of the boat, which is outdoors, with our drinks and enjoy the lovely evening. The staff were attentive and friendly. The food was fabulous and the stops to pick each course up were quick and efficient.
It is not an inexpensive evening but well worth it as a special experience. A wonderful end to our European trip prior to flying back to the States. Highly recommend!
Susan_K, Sep 2023
The food was not worthy of 5 stars. Although it was mentioned one drink of Prosecco, the waitress did not mention that additional refills would be charged. Therefore, the bill at the end of the trip was a surprise. The boat itself had windows but you had to get up in order to see the view. Asked the waitress to call a taxi since the jetty was way off a well traveled path. Although she said yes, we waited and waited and no taxi. We had to walk a bit to find one. Just poor service!!!
