Beautiful Boat Tour with amazing view - My girlfriend and I had a private boat tour on the boat 'Tzar' with Robertino. I had already been in contact with Robertino and planned my marriage proposal on the boat. My girlfriend was incredibly happy, and the boat was beautiful both inside and out. The atmosphere on the boat was dreamy. Captain Robertino accompanied us on the boat ride and told us a lot about Amsterdam and the surrounding area. We felt very comfortable with him. The marriage proposal at the beautiful Mageren Brug (which lights up beautifully in the evening after sunset) was a success. The view in the evening from the boat was incredibly beautiful, with the bridges lighting up, and the interior of the boat was super cozy. All in all, this boat tour was truly perfect from start to finish! The next day, we were able to visit a houseboat museum for free, which was also very impressive! Thank you for everything! Best regards, Dilara & Maddy

Unforgettable Evening - My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of experiencing a private canal tour with Amsterdam Private Boat, and it was simply fantastic! Instead of cramming onto crowded tourist boats, the company offered beautiful, old yet modernized boats for rent. I surprised my girlfriend with an evening boat ride at sunset, and even proposed to her near the seven bridges. Our captain, Nickel, was incredibly accommodating and knowledgeable about the city's history and the canals. I almost felt bad for stealing the spotlight from him! When we're back in Amsterdam, which will naturally happen now after the engagement, we'll definitely book another tour with Nickel to fully enjoy the guided canal experience.

Relaxed canal cruise - The private canal tour through Amsterdam was wonderful. Our skipper Mateo welcomed us warmly and sailed us through the many beautiful canals and explained and showed us a lot about Amsterdam. We can recommend the tour with a clear conscience.
