Highlight of our Amsterdam Stay - This boat tour was the highlight of our stay in Amsterdam. Captain Jamie was so welcoming and extremely knowledgeable about the city. You get a totally different perspective on the city when travelling on the canals, and Jamie added so much more by telling us about the history and interesting facts about the city. I cannot recommend this boat tour enough

Informativ, individual, wonderful boat tour for the whole family (with dog) - We enjoyed very much the boat tour and that we were choosing this special individual Amsterdam Boat Adventures! Cruising through the scenic waterways and soaking in the breathtaking views we had a great time on bord. We learned a lot about the buildings and the individual residents of Amsterdam with special funny or serious backgrounds. Maybe we will see you again for the light festival boat adventure through Amsterdam's canals.

Excellent Canal Tour! - Excellent tour. Captain Joao was a fantastic guide—knowledgeable, interesting, and humorous. We received a lot of history on the tour and saw beautiful sights as well as having a lot of fun. The open-air boat was awesome and a perfect size. I highly recommend this tour and Captain Joao!

Fabulous Canal Cruise - We had an excellent experience on the Amsterdam Boat Tour of the Old City Center. Captain Jamie was incredibly informative, genuine, and friendly—his knowledge of the city's history really added depth to the tour and made it feel personal and engaging. We felt like we saw a lot of Amsterdam, but from a different perspective—not just the usual tourist route, which made it all the more special. The smaller boat and quieter vibe made for a much more relaxed and intimate experience. Highly recommended!

Family canal tour of old city - Jamie, our captain, was a pleasure to cruise with. He was very knowledgeable and entertained my eight year old's questions with a smile and thorough explanation. We were a very small group on the boat and it felt nearly private. Would highly recommend, really nice people.

A great experience - Admired Amsterdam from the water with family from Morocco in a beautiful boat. Halfway through the morning sailed through a Nov fairly quiet Amsterdam. With Jamie as captain and guide with beautiful stories about the history of Amsterdam had a great day!
