Nice tour of Amsterdam 1 hour long with two different circles. Great comments on Amsterdam history and houses
I would not recommend it at all. Half the people were creating a big ruckus there. It was crazy. Couldn’t hear the guides. They should have had some sort of speaker or something.
This was a negative experience for us. I booked this particular tour because of the pictures of the boat. Amsterdam can get cold so I wanted a covered boat. All the pics were of a long boat that was inclosed. Not the case at all. All pics in the ad were of a nice boat but it was open and not very comfortable. I accused them of false advertising but took the tour anyway since it was our last chance for a canal tour. No where in the ad did it indicate that the actual boat would be different.
Dear Mary, Thank you for sharing your concerns. We are sorry to hear that you felt disappointed with your experience. On the day of your cruise, Amsterdam was enjoying beautiful summer weather with pleasant temperatures and a wonderful golden hour. For that reason, we decided to give your departure a complimentary upgrade from the covered sightseeing boat to our more expensive open boat experience. During the summer months, the open boats offer unobstructed views of Amsterdam's canals and are generally considered the most enjoyable way to experience the city. We are pleased to say that the other guests on your departure were very happy with this decision and thoroughly enjoyed the evening on the open boat. We are therefore sorry to hear that, despite receiving this complimentary upgrade, the experience did not meet your personal expectations. We will keep in mind that some guests may still prefer a covered boat regardless of the weather. We will review our product description to ensure it clearly states that this tour may be operated with either an open boat or a covered salon boat, depending on the circumstances, so future guests know exactly what to expect. Kind regards, Richard
Pleasant boat ride with knowledgable your guide. I will say the 540 time in July was not the best because of the height of the sun, probably better like an hour later or earlier.
Absolutely amazing tour, Martin the guide was fantastic and very informative. Definitely would recommend
Rashid and jasmine were amazing. Very informative and relaxing. Beautiful tour and jasmine took photos of us which was lovely
Dear Anna, Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! We're delighted to hear that Rashid and Jasmin made your Amsterdam canal cruise so enjoyable. We'll be sure to pass your lovely compliments on to both of them. It's wonderful to hear that you appreciated not only the stories about Amsterdam, but also the little personal touches, like Jasmin taking photos for you. We believe those small moments help create memories that last long after the cruise has ended. Thank you for choosing Boat Amsterdam. We hope to welcome you back on board again during your next visit to Amsterdam!
This was alright but not very descriptive. We thought we were getting a covered boat but was on an open one. Guide was mediocre with knowledge of area.
Dear Barbara, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed experiencing Amsterdam from the water, although we're sorry that the cruise didn't fully meet your expectations. Regarding the boat, your cruise took place on a beautiful summer evening with temperatures of around 27°C. On warm, sunny days like that, we often choose one of our open boats, as many guests specifically enjoy the fresh air and unobstructed views of Amsterdam's canals. We do, however, understand that you were expecting one of our traditional covered boats. We're also sorry to hear that you would have liked more information about Amsterdam during the cruise. We deliberately choose to offer live guided tours instead of pre-recorded audio guides, allowing our guides to interact with guests and tailor the commentary to the group. We'll certainly share your feedback with our guide, as we always strive to provide an engaging and informative experience. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide the 5-star experience we always aim for.
The tour guide and Captain were nice, as was the route. However, it didn't provide much insighr into Amsterdam's history, with only a few attractions being mentioned.
Dear Harry, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the route and found both the captain and our guide friendly. We truly appreciate those kind words. We're sorry to hear that you were hoping for more historical information during the cruise. We deliberately choose to offer a live guided tour rather than a pre-recorded audio guide, allowing our guides to interact with guests, answer questions, and tailor the commentary to the group on board. As a result, every cruise is slightly different, but we certainly expect every guest to leave with an interesting introduction to Amsterdam's rich history. We'll share your feedback with our team, as we always strive to find the right balance between history, local stories, and a relaxed atmosphere on board. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide the 5-star experience we always aim for.
Our canal cruise was amazing. The rep met us at the dock and made sure we got on the correct boat. The guide and skipper were very nice and friendly. The cruise was interesting and fun.
Dear Mark, Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your canal cruise from start to finish. It's great to know that our dock host made sure you found the right boat and that our skipper and guide made you feel so welcome on board. We're also pleased that you found the cruise both interesting and fun. That's exactly why we choose to offer a live guided tour instead of a pre-recorded audio guide, creating a more personal and interactive experience for our guests. Thank you for choosing Boat Amsterdam. We hope to welcome you back on board the next time you're in Amsterdam!
Hands down the best boat tour I’ve ever had!! Naduah and Jasmin were so nice and told us everything we needed to know about Amsterdam while we sailed past all the historic buildings. 100% recommended!
Dear Brayan, Thank you so much for your incredible 5-star review! "Best boat tour ever!" What an amazing compliment—thank you! We're delighted to hear that Naduah and Jasmin made your cruise so memorable. We'll be sure to pass your wonderful compliments on to both of them. We're especially pleased that you enjoyed learning about Amsterdam while cruising past its historic buildings. That's exactly why we choose to offer a live guided tour instead of a pre-recorded audio guide. We believe nothing compares to the personal stories, local knowledge, and the opportunity to ask questions along the way. Thank you for your 100% recommendation.
