Highlights
  • The Jordaan - The most common theory on the origin of the name is as a derivation of the French word Jardin, meaning garden: most streets and canals in the Jordaan are named after trees and flowers. Another theory is that the Prinsengracht canal was once nicknamed Jordaan (the Dutch name for the river Jordan) and that the neighborhood beyond the canal came to be called this as well. Our Flagship canal tour will start and end here in the Jordaan.

Goose & Maverick = the best team - We had the pleasure to trip throughout the canals of Amsterdam with these guys. Goose and Maverick shared a lot of information about Amsterdam’s history. It was both informative and entertaining. We enjoyed it with my wife. I recommend these guys to everyone who would like to go for an hour trip around the canals of Amsterdam.

Good times with friends! - It was a good ride around the canals, the occasional rain and the cold did however make it tough to enjoy! But the captain and Annabella did do their best to make it enjoyable! Thank you!

Alright, probably would have been better if it was a warmer and drier day - It was ok. It was raining so the windows fogged up and it was hard to really see anything. But our guides were quite engaging and funny.

Adequate boat trip - This experience was adequate but no more. The guide was fine but the boat had such dirty panels on top that one couldn’t see up at all-just through the windows. I did learn some new information but would recommend other boats for better viewing

Very disappointing canal trip with Flagship Amsterdam - Very disappointed that our cruise location was changed at the last minute from Rijksmuseum (near our hotel) to Centraal Station for weather reasons !!! Rubbish!! Then having been asked to arrive early, then waited in a cold wind before the captain arrived 10 minutes late. Then the toilet wasn't working, and the plastic 'roof' wasn't fastened so let in the rain and the cold wind throughout the trip.

Wasn’t a great cruise - This tour is definitely for a younger crowd. Sophia humor didn’t impress us. She was focused on pouring drinks. If that is what you like then you will like this cruise.

Abyssal - None. No historical content to speak of. Just lots of lame jokes and lots of drinking. In the end the tourists stopped listening and talked amongst themselves. Sophia the Russian continually swore and insulted nationalities
