Fantastic cruise with the most knowledgeable guide - really the highlight of our trip cruising around the canals and learning the history of the city. Drink selection and snacks was perfect
Really super nice and informative boat trip with stylish boat - definitely a highlight of our stay .Wine very good, snacks good- for three of us a little bit.Otherwise everything top
Taking this experience in the evening was so amazing. The captain was experienced and well versed & able to share history & engaged the passengers. The food & drink options were excellent.
Very beautiful experience We highly recommend it
It was an incredible experience- so enjoyable. The captain was so knowledgeable and personable. I am so glad we did it,
Experience was fabulous. Our guide Abel was amazing. Super kind and quick to fill drinks while keeping the tour interesting. 2 hrs is the way to go. I did the 7-9pm and it was wonderful. Highly recommended
We had a marvelous time - the group size was perfect- not too big but also no too small. The canals are gorgeous and our guide pointed out everything from historic architecture to current Dutch culture. Thank you- it made our last night of our vacation in the Netherlands special!
The ride itself was good, as well as the snacks and food. The problem was that the driver/guide did not give a tour. He just talked about what brought him to Amsterdam etc. I don’t mind them making it personal but there was NO guide at all. He didn’t point out interest locations. That was the point of doing this tour. Our time was limited in the city and unfortunately I know we missed a lot. Disappointing.
Sven was fun and knowledgeable. We needed a laid back way to get through jet lag and the Sven did it all and bartended. Very enjoyable.
A high end, laid back cruise with a knowledgeable skipper/waiter/guide named Abel. Really interesting to listen to and he expertly answered all our questions. Great, curated drinks list. A lovely way to start the evening and a great intro to the city.
