Cool, quick way to see the city - Perfect way to see the city! Not too much time and definitely worth the price tag. We received 3 glasses of beer, wine or soda, which was perfect for our trip. Highly recommend.

Friendly, fun, and relaxing tour - A canal tour of Amsterdam is a great way to get your bearings in the city and see things from a different perspective. Our friendly hosts (Lynsay, Vince, and Mikk) provided historical and colorful details about what we floated past. The ride was relaxing and fun. We were blessed with sunshine and fine weather, which made our trip all the more pleasant. Beverage service was available, which could enhance the relaxation part, but we did not partake.

Wonderful tour and staff - Great guides and boat! Lots of cool information and also the guides had great senses of humors. Wish our boat canopy had been put down as it made viewing a bit more difficult. The meeting point is a little tricky since there was many boat companies that leave from this location. Just ask, ask, ask any boat company and they were all very helpful in locating the correct one. A great way to see the canals with a fun staff!

Fanastic tour on the canals with great guides - Me and my girlfriend booked a trip on the canals with Amsterdam Boat Trips. I have taken a trip on the canals with another company in the past, but the professionalism from this company was on another level. We ended up being the only people on the boat, and we had a FANTASTIC time together with Marc and Ties as guides. They were extremely knowledgeable about the city's (and the country's) history, and had great tips on where to go that were tailored for our needs/wishes. I highly recommend booking a trip on the canals with this company. You will get really good value for your money! Thank you Marc and Ties!

Great Tour! - We booked in low time, so we were lucky enough to get a tour all to ourselves. Huib and Ties were both amazing and gave us lots of facts about history and pointed out important landmarks. Additionally, they gave us great recommendations for things to do in Amsterdam! Would ABSOLUTELY recommend!!!
