Lovely day on the canals - Very accommodating allowing us to change schedule at last minute in hope of better weather. Small boat so it was easy to converse with Jens our commentator and open boat so unobstructed views. Nico was excellent captain. Beer and wine contribute to a festive experience. Different and beautiful perspective of Amsterdam from the canals.

Lovely day on the canals - Staff was accommodating letting us postpone our trip a day in hope of nicer weather even though it was starting time. Jenz and Nico were our crew the next day. They were friendly, knowledgeable, safely navigated us through the canals, and beer and wine made the event festive. A great perspective of Amsterdam from the canals.

Epic Boat Tour!! - Wonderful Experience!! Highly recommended. We did this tour as a last minute booking one evening and after searching other companies, I found this one and the great reviews. Well worth it!!
Both the Guide and Captain were excellent. Both Knowledgeable and entertaining.
Our tour included free Heineken, wine, hot cocoa, soda, and water. Blankets also provided for cold nights.
The start location was excellent to see both the narrow canals and the main waterway. Many historic sights and lots of information provided.
We booked right at sunset and were fortunate to see the sunset AND the bridge lights. Wonderful!
We will definitely use BoatAmsterdam.com again!

Good value for price paid - Very happy with the canal cruise, the staff was friendly. They had drinks and blankets as it was a little chilly. Left on time and got back on time. Boat wasn’t as cute as some of the other boats that’s the only reason I said it wasn’t 5 stars. But value for price paid was good.
