A brilliant family trip that kept us all entertained. Thumbs up! - I'm not sure if my earlier review was submitted, so here's a second one! We enjoyed Captain Ko's tour on Monday (Feb 19th) - it was funny, informative and had nuggets of information that everyone enjoyed - from history enthusiasts like me to my teenage sons who couldn't care less about history! We saw a lot of Amsterdam, enjoyed the snacks and drinks and had a laugh. Would highly recommend.

I highly recommend everyone to book a tour with CaptainJack - Seeing Amsterdam from a boat is a unique mustdo experience. The skipper, Onno, contributed to this with his witty approach and interesting facts of Amsterdam, which you never would have known as they are not mentioned in any touristguide or historybook. This small scaled saloonboat is much more cozy compared to traditional canalboat trips, and due to the size of the boat CaptainJack brings you to spots the bigboat companies can not let you see. I had a nice wellspent afternoon and have learned a few things that I as a local did not know before this trip.

A must for your Amsterdam visit - We had an amazing experience on our canal cruise! Onno, our tour guide, gave us a great and informative tour of the city but kept it all very fun for us. This tour is a must for anyone visiting Amsterdam!

Made everything feel very VIP! - Our hosts were really funny and gave us such a great tour of the canals in inner Amsterdam. The drinks and cheese plates were a big plus, the seats were extra comfy, plenty of room to stand/sit and move around the boat, and was covered with clear windows so we can see outside without getting bogged down by rain/wind.

10/10 recommended - Such a perfect way to experience Amsterdam in a small group setting. Check-in was easy and there was plenty of room to sit on the boat. The wine, drinks and snacks created a fun experience while captain Farid shared facts and jokes along the canals. Would bring friends and family on this tour.

Hip hop hooray for Capt Jacklyn! - We had Kat, Capt Jacklyn, and she was fabulous. She had a great sense of humor that kept us all laughing and in good cheer. She was knowledgeable about the city and knew some genuinely interesting fun facts about the buildings, bridges, and boats around the canals.

A great way to see parts of Amsterdam - A well organised 1hr boat trip with enthusiastic young tour guides (Jul & Mark) telling interesting stories about Amsterdam as we cruised the river. We were served 2 types of Dutch cheese and along with red & white wine there was also a selection of soft drinks. The boat is comfortable with a roof and open sides offering good views. Very glad we booked this.
