Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for the review! We're so glad you had a great time on the water and that you found our captain to be friendly and knowledgeable. It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed seeing the city from a different perspective and that the food was tasty. We appreciate your feedback regarding the menu and will certainly take it into consideration as we continue to improve our offerings. We hope to welcome you back on board again soon! Please also note we have an extended restaurant choice to choose from when booking directly. The All inclusive tours have always a specific restaurant choice as default.

Overpriced and average. Saved in part by guide.

Dean_H, Apr 2025
Our captain and tour guide, Sven, was very knowledgeable and engaging. He was the best part of the tour. The food was average. The tour was overpriced.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Good day Dean, thank you so much for your valuable feedback. We have spoken to Sven and just like our other captains, we always check with guests if they like the food and we did not hear any complaints about it during the tour. Otherwise we always try to fix it right at the spot and let the restaurant prepare a different dish. Unfortunately, we didnt get the chance during the tour to do so. We have reached out to you separately to offer you a compensation and you are more then welcome to get in touch with us regarding this matter. Regarding the pricing, please keep in mind you have booked via a third party platform, which leads to higher prices and you have booked an all inclusive offer which includes red wine, white wines, prosecco beers and sodas. We are sorry to hear it didnt fulfill your expectations but we hope you get the quality you deserve on your next Amsterdam trip.

Absolutely Fantastic

Der Simona, thank you a lot for leaving a review. We are very happy that you had a great night on board of our private boat. You are welcome any time again for another dinner tour! All the best and greetings from Amsterdam, we will pass the compliments to Nickel :)

Great Cruise; Highly Recommend

Brian_W, Jul 2023
Easy communication and the boat was clean and in excellent condition. Mark, our captain, was great. Food was spectacular. You order while you are on the boat and then we stopped two times to have it brought to the boat by a local restaurant (Main/Dessert). Really great. Drinks (wine, beer and champange) are included. This is a must if you are in Amsterdam and want a quiet dinner cruise that is professionally operated. Excellent view of the canals. A+

Response from Host, Jul 2023

We had a lovely time sailing through the Amsterdam Canals with Captain Carl! We had a lovely meal, learned a bit about the history and culture of the area and even got to see where the King's Daughter lives. Would certainly do it again!
