Outstanding Tour - This tour was very good. Captain Dave and his associates do a fabulous job, and I highly recommend this tour! The only improvement would be if there was a speaker system outside so we could hear the guide better.

OUTSTANDING CRUISE - We had an absolutely perfect time on this cruise! We were delivered to the wrong canal by our UBER driver so missed our cruise time. Captain Dave reached out and was not only able to take us for the next session, he dropped us off at the Anne Frank house for yet another tour when ours was finished. His commentary was excellent and the boat is beautiful. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this tour.

Informative and Fun - The boat is beautiful, and unlike some, would be fine should it rain. It's also smaller than some making for a more intimate experience. Jan, our captain, was very funny but also informative. With an art history major at university, he was able to comment intelligently on architecture as we went along plus offer ideas on lesser known museums. He also talked about food specialties in Amsterdam and where to head for some of the best. He was energetic and upbeat... would love to have him as a guide in Amsterdam, not just as captain of a canal boat. It was a great evening floating along, drinking wine or beer, and learning a lot.

Professional and fun - What a great way to see Amsterdam! Captain Jay was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. All in all a fun time. We appreciated the refreshments, washroom on board and covered viewing area.

The best boat cruise in Amsterdam - history, knowledgeable guides, small group size - Captain Mare was excellent! We learned so much and she made it look effortless... guiding our lovely historic boat through the canals and sharing so much information, history, cultural insights, dialog with us and other visitors... would recommend this tour over others on the basis of the beauty and history of the boat, smaller group size, and excellent guides.
