Canal Cruise - This was such a fun boat ride through the canals. Fun people, good drinks, and amazing views of the canals and so many beautiful houses.

Excellent boat trip around Amsterdam - We had a wonderful tour with Tallon and Angele (Angela?). They were fun and informative and dealt admirably with 4 rather intoxicated Brits who also joined the trip (and exited to find a WC before the tour was over). We larned a lot about the canals and scene and scenery of Amsterdam. They took us through areas that are somewhat off the beaten path. All in all, a very pleasant way to spend a couple of hours. Highly ecommended.

Grand Experience - This was wonderful! Our captain Nikk and Host Tallon were fun and friendly. The group was small and because the boat was smaller we got to go through locks that larger boats could not fit into. We learned interesting history and facts
About the city and buildings along the canal. I would do this tour again!

Wonderful Evening Canal Trip! - This boat tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Amsterdam! Such wonderful fun facts delivered by two amazing women (Mariam & Louise). It was such an entertaining and relaxing hour on the canals. We even considered booking the same tour for the next night!

Great first night tour! - Great stories, great facts, had so much fun! Viator was glitching, and I couldn't pull up my tickets, but our guide found us, and things were perfect after that! Had a little wine, and learned a lot about the city, which helped us understand what we were seeing on our first night in the city.

A highlight - We’re very glad we chose this company for our canal cruise. Our captain was Marc and our hostess was Angela (Angele?). They told us lots about what we were seeing. Great atmosphere on board. There were 11 passengers on the boat. We had plenty of room and were made comfortable with cushions and blankets. It rained a bit but there was shelter so we didn’t get wet. We got a generous bowl of cheese and a choice of a cocktail or three drinks. Then if you wanted more you could buy it, but that was plenty. I highly recommend them.

Good but little passage on small canals - Already we have to find the company... which is actually AMSTERDAM BOAT TRIPS right in front of a restaurant and next to the Bulldog. Very nice team but Angela speaks too fast! There's no time to pick up, that's too bad. I had already toured the canals a few years ago I had in mind more passages on small canals than on large ones so relative interest...

Nice but too long - The last stop Marken is totally unnecessary and repetitive. It is not worth it to stop there after a long tour where people are so tired from walking and where towns prior to it offered more culture and charm.

It was not the booked tour - The boat that was available was not the booked one. In spite to have a small boat for 6 people, as was contracted, we had to use a large one, the only one available in the time of the booking. The tour is not the same, you can not take the same kind of pictures and to enjoy the tour in the same way.
