It was an incredible experience- so enjoyable. The captain was so knowledgeable and personable. I am so glad we did it,
Experience was fabulous. Our guide Abel was amazing. Super kind and quick to fill drinks while keeping the tour interesting. 2 hrs is the way to go. I did the 7-9pm and it was wonderful. Highly recommended
We had a marvelous time - the group size was perfect- not too big but also no too small. The canals are gorgeous and our guide pointed out everything from historic architecture to current Dutch culture. Thank you- it made our last night of our vacation in the Netherlands special!
The ride itself was good, as well as the snacks and food. The problem was that the driver/guide did not give a tour. He just talked about what brought him to Amsterdam etc. I don’t mind them making it personal but there was NO guide at all. He didn’t point out interest locations. That was the point of doing this tour. Our time was limited in the city and unfortunately I know we missed a lot. Disappointing.
Sven was fun and knowledgeable. We needed a laid back way to get through jet lag and the Sven did it all and bartended. Very enjoyable.
A high end, laid back cruise with a knowledgeable skipper/waiter/guide named Abel. Really interesting to listen to and he expertly answered all our questions. Great, curated drinks list. A lovely way to start the evening and a great intro to the city.
Our morning tour with Robert was fantastic! We really enjoyed our time - 2 hours was perfect. Robert made sure to point out all the landmarks we passed & had a wealth of Dutch knowledge. He was also very willing to answer any questions we had in general. Would highly recommend this tour. Worth the price paid.
Abel was extremely knowledgeable and the drinks and snacks were great. It was a wonderful way to learn the history and see the sites of Amsterdam.
The captain was very knowledgeable and fun! It was very relaxing to go through all the canals and learning about the city. The snacks and drinks were included, however the drink offered for free was water. Other beverages are available and a menu is provided with prices.
Our captain, Robert, was right on time. He was competent, kowledgeable and able to answer all questions. We got the thorough tour of the boat with all the snacks and libations and besides pointng out sites along hte way, he was entertaining and interesting. We really enjoyed the trip.
