Captain Storm…just book it! - Captain Storm was the perfect kick-off to our Amsterdam adventure. Off the plane and right into his boat, he entertained us for two hours cruising the canals. Lively stories, funny anecdotes, with a little spice on the side. The small group size is also perfect allowing you to interact with the other travelers. This tour is great for your teenagers and up!

Do this tour when in Amsterdam - Tour was a great experience. We took the 5pm tour which was a good time as got to see Amsterdam at twilight. Drinks and snacks were excellent with a varied choice and Bitterballen was delicious! The captain was humorous and informative. She told us lots of history of Amsterdam. Was a perfect way to spend a couple of hours of our trip

We really enjoyed the small group setting, snacks and drinks. The boat was clean and had blankets for us as it was a chilly evening. We highly recommend this tour!

Captain Storm is a must - The tour was beautiful, the weather was lovely and the offered drinks and snacks were perfect for the tour. Captain Storm provided the best balls in all of Amsterdam with exceptional knowledge of the city. Not only did we see amazing things and hear educating stories, Captain Storm is an extremely proud father explaining all of the amazing things Amsterdam has offered him and his family. You get more than a tour you get knowledge of everyday life and some history. I would love to return to this exact tour.

Aloha from Amsterdam Canal Cruise - As soon as Stephan greeted us before embarking on the boat, I knew we were off to an excellent start. He was by far the highlight of the entire Canal cruise. He was so welcoming, sincere, a wealth full of knowledge, history and stories about Amsterdam and Netherlands in general. I learned so much from him - he was kind, funny in the conversation he really kept our party engaged in a conversation all the time. Oh, and the canal cruise was excellent too! I highly recommend this for everyone who wants to come and visit Amsterdam. It was the first experience that we had on our first day here and it really set the tone of our trip. Mahalo to Stephen for sharing his Aloha from Amsterdam with us from Hawaii. Marcie

Absolutely wonderful boat ride - We did this boat tour a couple of years ago and had an amazing time the first time. We loved it so much that we booked it again. Captain Storm is an amazing tour guide, very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. He had a great selection of wines (whites, reds and even a rose). We had some wine , cheese and he even got those balls that looks like Croquettes. I recommend this tour and we will probably book it again next time we come

A great way to pack more in your stay - What a fab canal cruise! We were a party of 8 on Saturday night and enjoyed every minute of it. Skipper Eric was very informative and a fabulous host. I've been to Amsterdam many times (also lived there almost 30 years ago), but have seen it all through a different lens now - and learnt so much. Would highly recommend the night time cruise, it looks even more beautiful at night. Plenty of snacks and drinks to go around too!

Great canal tour!! - My mom and I did this tour together and I can't say enough good things. Our tour was small and personal with only 4 other passengers plus our guide, Erik. Erik was knowledgable and funny, and he made sure we had plenty to eat and drink on the 2 hour tour. This is a fabulous way to see the city of Amsterdam. Many of the boat tours are big or have a reputation for crude jokes, this was neither. It was small and intimate, and we learned a lot about the history of Amsterdam. I highly recommend!
