Amsterdam Canal Cruise - Our canal cruise in Amsterdam with Captain Ricky was fantastic. The views along the historic canals were beautiful, and the experience was both relaxing and informative. Captain Ricky shared engaging stories about Amsterdam’s history and architecture, which made the city feel alive and meaningful. I highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Amsterdam

Enjoyable - Captain André is awesome - I took a canal cruise in Amsterdam I guess all companies are the same I'm leaving a 5 star because our Captain Andre was awesome! He didn't just let the pre recorded audio provide information but he also added his own commentary which was awesome! Andre was welcoming and friendly which made this cruise much better and interesting!

A must do in Amsterdam!!! - This was a really smooth and pleasant experience with our captain, who i believe is called Michael. We really enjoyed the sightseeing and description with captivating stories of the famous stroopwafels. Would love to revisit.

Nice tranquil experience - Nice calm, friendly experience, we enjoyed it, very nice. Worth the money. FYI it says look for the stormma stand but it isn’t clearly signed so we was walking up and down but had got there early and found it by asking.

Go elsewhere - It went part way round the canal then turned 180 degrees and went back the same way showing us the same stuff with the same pre-recording. The stroopwaffle only applies if you get the tour away from the train station. Pretty deflating.

Underwhelming - Just ok. We were not told to take the stroppewaffel. Luckily, my daughter spotted that others had them... bit unwelcoming feel.The audio was not up to date.

Canal walk - There was no stroopwafel at all. The headphones were disconnected every Two by Three because of poor connection. Badly explained.
