Great for family - Our family had such a wonderful time! The stories, history, and perspective of our captain brought something for everyone. He gave a very unique perspective being that his family has lived in Amsterdam for generations. We loved getting to see Amsterdam from the water and the snack and drinks provided a relaxed enjoyable time!

Enjoyable cruise with Captain Erik - Captain Erik was a personal and knowledgeable guide. He had plenty of interesting stories. He pointed out so very many interesting sights along the cruise. He had plenty of snacks and beverages on board for the trip. At one point he stopped and picked up a fresh order of the traditional bitterballen for us to enjoy with the traditional dipping sauce, followed by Jenever! We really had a most enjoyable tour and would recommend this trip to others.

The Best Canal Cruise (and Best Value!) in Amsterdam - What a fabulous introduction to Amsterdam! We did this on our first full day in the city and would do it over and over again. Skipper Philip was the BEST. Fun and relaxed, but also super knowledgable. We had beautiful weather, though the design of the boat would make it great in any season. I could imagine a cozy wet day under a blanket watching the city go by being just as enjoyable as our day with the boat opened up laying out on the sundeck. Drinks and snacks were plentiful and lovely. And a full two hours vs. other tours that try to do the same in 1 - 1.5 hours. I can't recommend this more!!

If I could rate this 100 stars I would ! - Highly recommend! One of the highlights of our trip. We ran late a few minutes and the captain waited for us! This was a night cruise and it was very small 7 people and intimate. I prefer the smaller group because we really got to know our captain very well and make connections with him and the guest from around the world. Upon booking I let the tour company know my husband has a GLUTEN ALLERGY! The most amazing part is that they were able to accommodate 100% and make him his own personal cheese, cookie, and veggie board. He fell in love with the gf strop waffles! For the rest of the guest we shared a really nice cheese board, with salty and sweet food! Our captain even made a surprise stop ! The boat was stocked with wine, cold beer water, and other options and even warm mulled wine which was unlimited. Our caption was truly the best! Friendly, funny and extremely knowledgeable. He shared so many facts and visuals about Amsterdam and pointed things out as we sailed on the canals. We got so many fun photos and learned so much ! This was a 2hr cruise and it was really nice that is it longer than most other tours because you really get to see things and take it all in ! 100/100 would recommend this tour and company for anyone who is looking for a fun romantic night out!
