We booked this boat tour to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. Eddie clearly loves what he does and genuinely cares about providing the best possible experience for his guests. His professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail were evident throughout the trip. The boat was spotless, comfortable, and very well maintained, which immediately made us feel relaxed and welcome. During the tour, we accidentally spilled a little champagne, but Eddie handled it with complete understanding and there was no issue at all. What impressed us most was how smoothly he navigated the boat. The ride was quiet, stable, and incredibly comfortable, allowing us to fully enjoy Amsterdam’s beautiful canals and take some fantastic photos. We were also grateful for his flexibility. We arrived about 10 minutes late, and instead of being strict about it, Eddie kindly waited for us and welcomed us warmly. For the price, this experience offers exceptional value. The combination of a beautiful boat, a skilled captain, and a relaxed atmosphere made it one of the highlights of our time in Amsterdam. We highly recommend Boat Amsterdam to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable canal experience. Thank you, Eddie, for helping make my wife’s birthday so special!
Absolutely love Amsterdam Boat Adventures. Best Amsterdam canal cruise no doubt. Been on many trips with them over the years. Griffin (boat captain) did a top-notch job. We've been out with Attila and Griffin and could not receommend either of them more. Do yourself a favor, if you have a group of 12 or less, and book your cruise with Amsterdam Boat Adventures. Excellent value for the price too!
I can't recommend Eddie and this experience enough - if you're wanting a private, scenic, and memorable tour of Amsterdam from the water, THIS is the tour to book. Very personable and friendly, Eddie answered many questions that we had. Even as the ship captain, it felt like he was part of our group and made our visit to Amsterdam an authentic one. Thank you again.
Brilliant boat trip, couldn't ask for better. Beautiful boat, Captain Jamie was so knowledgeable, and Bente was brilliant and so informative. Highly recommended, don't go anywhere else.

Atilla . All you need to know. The tour was relaxed. Atilla super knowledgeable and very personable. I would have him give me a tour of the city on boat and off if that were available. He deserves more than 5 stars.
