Cruising Amsterdam with Captain Jack - Captain Jack is a first class captain and host. It was a delightful cruise. He took the time to give us a detailed history lesson along the cruise, which included the home that held the dairy of Anne Frank. It's was an amazing tour and I recommended it to my daughter on her trip to Amsterdam.

The perfect introduction to Amsterdam - I’ve actually done this canal tour three times now, once with a friend, once with my mother, and now finally with my husband. It’s an easy way to learn a bit about Amsterdam and its history while relaxing with wine and some light snacks. The strength of the tour really depends on it’s captain, so thankfully ours had a cheery attitude and was full of great insights that kept our group engaged throughout the tour. If you’re looking for an easy way to introduce yourself to Amsterdam, this is perfect!

Amsterdam Evening Cruise - The Amsterdam Evening Cruise is highly recommended! The small-group setting makes the experience intimate, and a truly serene and romantic glide through the lit-up canals. Our captain was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining, making the 1.5-hour tour fly by. With unlimited drinks and tasty Dutch snacks included, it's the perfect way to see the city's highlights at night.

We did the Captain Jack’s... - We did the Captain Jack’s canal tour in Amsterdam and overall it was a good experience. Our captain was Joe (not Jack!), and he was fun, friendly, and kept the tour engaging. The ticket includes wine, beer, soft drinks, cheese and crackers, and some candies, which was a nice touch. Everything is set out for passengers to help themselves. If you’re a bit of a germ-conscious person, that setup may not be your favorite, but it’s there if you want it. We did the evening tour, which gives you nice views of the canal lights. However, the boat had plastic windows that were pretty scratched up, making it hard to see clearly unless you were seated right in front of the glass panels. Since not everyone gets those seats, it can be difficult to really appreciate the architecture or take photos at night. In hindsight, I’d probably recommend going during the daytime if sightseeing is your main goal. Also, the inside of the boat was chilly but the had blankets and very dark, so it was hard to see what you were eating. A little interior lighting would definitely improve the experience. We did have a minor boat bump during the tour, but everyone was fine—and it made the evening a bit more memorable! Overall: a fun captain and a relaxed vibe, but daytime may be better if you want clearer views of the city.
