A Fun, Informative, and Delicious Amsterdam Canal Experience

We had a fantastic time on this Amsterdam canal tour! The small group size made the experience feel relaxed and personal, and it was much nicer than being on a crowded boat. There were plenty of refreshments throughout the tour, and the snacks were delicious. Captain Erik was excellent, the commentary was informative without ever feeling boring, and he had a great sense of humour that kept us laughing along the way. We learned lots about Amsterdam while enjoying the beautiful canals and scenery. Overall, a really enjoyable experience and one we would happily recommend!

Fantastic Scenic Cruise of Amsterdam with Great Snacks, Drinks, and Captain-Provided Narration

OVERVIEW: We met our tour guide right on time at an easy-to-find location. Captain Charlie greeted us and was personable, eager for questions, and happy to show off the city and her navigation skills cruising through the canals. She seemed genuinely invested in ensuring we had a pleasant time. As we cruised we got to enjoy a variety of drinks, snack on a local cheese plate, and try some cute little stroopwafels. HIGHLIGHT: It was the perfect sized boat – not too many and also not too few, felt lively and social. Also, seeing the buildings from the water's point of view was a unique perspective. DRAWBACK: The boat we were in was covered, so sometimes views of buildings were a bit tough but this is such a small thing don't let it discourage you. TIPS: • The cheese board is more of a snack, not a meal. Make sure you heat something substantial before enjoying the drinks. • Book an evening slot (we did 8pm for summertime and it was perfect).

A cruise to enjoy!

What a fantastic cruise through the canals of Amsterdam! Great stories, a knowledgeable and approachable guide willing to have the passengers on his boat feel well cared for during the trip. He answers questions, makes jokes and made the whole experience very enjoyable. This tour definitely beats those larger boat rides with a recorded narration.

Only way to see Amsterdam on the canals

Cruising along the canals of Amsterdam, relaxing, educational, and enjoyable. Best way to see the hustle and bustle from the comfort of a boat. Our Guide/Capitan was experienced in the canals and you could tell from pulling the boat around the tight corners, all while telling us stories and making sure we were getting the most out of the journey. Highly recommend.
