Joy was an outstanding boat captain! She made everyone comfortable and provided great information about the canals and city. There was a good variety of wine and the beer was cold. I definitely recommend this tour for anyone that wants to get a good overview of the city and enjoy a few adult beverages along the way!
I will not be booking this experience again and honestly, have lost trendendous trust and reliance on Viator. My 'Amsterdam Private boat tour with Unlimited Drinks' was to commence at 5PM. Under meeting point in the provide details for 'How to get there', all that was stated was the dock's location, which is expectedly populated with numerous boats and nothing more specific than that our pick-up "is next to Chinese Restaurant Sea Palace". Therefore, I arrived with 5 others for our reservation at 4:52PM, giving us enough time (or so I thought) to pin down either the captain and/or the boat's whereabouts with no prior detail aside from the aforementioned 'meeting point'. After 10 or so minutes running back and forth the dock, frantically asking every single boat if they had a reservation under my name, I finally called Viator customer service firstly at 5:04PM. The agent on the line then provided additional details that our cruise captain Luke would be wearing an orange polo, standing at the dock next to a boat labeled 'Rose'. This was not true as I proceeded to call out for Luke or identify the boat's name for 10 more minutes. At 5:23PM (mind you, this being my third customer service call), where I inquired if we could cancel or be placed on another boat, the agent finally gets a hold of the captain, and we find him hiding inside his boat, not at all in an orange polo but rather, a white dress shirt, chugging beer, and the concealed name of his boat shrouded by the side of the dock. One could sensibly understand my frustration. Luke was stalling time because the prior party before us had either guzzled all the unlimited drinks that were provided, or this was poor logistical planning on timing and resources in its entirety. I know this to be certain as all 6 of us in the party then witness a smaller boat arriving and loading crates of drinks onto the Rose at 5:35PM. We finally board at 5:40PM and there is broken glass everywhere, most likely left by the previous participants. Our boat trip, which was listed as an 1.5 hour ride, left at 5:40PM and docked back at 6:42PM. I did not ask for the boat ride to be delayed. Even if that were the case, we only experienced 2/3 of the time promised. I was not given requisite information to locate my boat or captain effectively and had a dinner reservation that was cancelled because our boat docked late. The total disregard for professionalism and punctuality mired what was supposed to be a wonderful boat ride celebrating my friends' joint birthday. We had travelled from the States to commemorate this joyous occasion in Amsterdam and instead, were left frustrated and dissatisfied. Given all this, it should be no surprise that I will be seeking at minimum, a partial refund for the huge inconvenience and the inaccurate advertising of services.
It was a great experience, the one of the most iconic events for our vacation. Our skipper Peter was very friendly and everything was perfect!
So much fun! Remco was great :) All my friends loved it and it was the highlight of our night. The only thing is we wish we had booked longer!
Had a great time with a group of friends! The skipper was nice and welcoming, would definitely consider this company again for a private canal tour
Great experience, I booked this for a hen party for 10 girls with the unlimited alcohol. It was great, the captain was really nice and we all really enjoyed ourselves and then hen loved it!!
The boat had a malfunction we didn't even make it 20 minutes. The operator does not work for Amsterdam Boat Company. She felt very bad. We were dropped off on the canal sidewalk.
It took me multiple tries to get in touch with the tour operator. Pretty inexcusable. They should have contacted me as soon as the trip was canceled.

The tour was great! The Guide Luke was really nice and the boat was well prepared with drinks. Also very comfortable. Would defs book it again!!
Excelent experience, a must while in Amsterdam, Cas the skipper and Naomi were really professional and provided great services.
We had a fantastic water tour with Fred. He was very friendly and personable and made our experience in Amsterdam a memorable adventure.
My family had a wonderful evening canal cruise with Remco! This was the perfect activity for our first night in Amsterdam and I would highly recommend it.
very nice canal tour. nice helmsman interesting route. I recommend everyone a great way to pass the time
Alcohol was warm, dirty dishes in the boat and we weren’t given any history on our surroundings. Nice sunny day for a boat ride though.
Very scenic trip at 11am. 90 mins felt like a good amount of time and good selection of beer & wine which set us up perfectly for the day.
Boat was lovely and relaxing, the weather was abnormally cold, so we appreciated the canopy! Martin was a great guide, very knowledgable about his city.
War eine schöne Fahrt, aber die Toiletten-Lösung ist nicht optimal. Ansonsten super Fahrt mit leckeren Kaltgetränken
Ich hatte eine Tour gebucht, die jedoch nicht stattfand. Ich wartete mehrere Stunden, jedoch nach unzähligen Versuchen jemanden zu erreichen , hab immer noch keine Antwort erhalten. Jetzt warte ich seit mehreren Wochen auf eine Rückerstattung, aber es meldet sich keiner. Kann ich niemandem empfehlen!!!
Das Team war sehr nett und bemüht, obwohl es sehr voll war am Steeg.
Wir hatten ein altes Boot mit Überdachung und Toilette, leider war der Außentisch so klein, dass unsere Gruppe nicht komplett draußen sitzen konnte und es gab keine Erklärung während der Tour.
