Excellent cruise but the boat is actually covered and doesn’t look like the picture. The captain was great and knowledgeable. Drinks cost extra but wide selection.
This was five stars and an excellent experience all the way. Felt like the two hour tour enabled you to see a lot more than the one hour options. The snacks and wine were excellent! Highly recommend all around!!!
Great experience, drink selection, boat and captain. Two hours flew by, and was a lot of fun. Thanks
Our tour guide was very nice and really attentive and we actually learned a lot about the history of Amsterdam. Such a very pleasant person. Honestly his name slipped off
Our guide Aruna was awesome! Personable, funny, and knowledgeable. A thoroughly enjoyable and informative tour!
We just got home after taking a monthlong tour of Europe. While we had many great experiences, this cruise ranked at the top. Our guide was informative, entertaining, and kind. He was from Amsterdam and it clearly showed how much he loved this city. We learned so much that we did not know before, all while enjoying some snacks and drinks. We went on the last tour of the day, starting at the end of day and finishing after it got dark. I would recommend this time to everyone. You get to see Amsterdam in a much different way, including getting a peek inside some of the most beautiful buildings and houses along the canals. Also, because it was later, the canal was not as busy. This is a MUST-DO excursion, and Voyage Amsterdam is a great choice. Thank you.
We had a lovely evening canal cruise in Amsterdam this August with our family of four (2 adults and two teenage daughters). We had originally booked a 7pm departure but due to operational reasons we had to change times and we selected the 9pm departure. This turned out to be a really pleasant change because we were able to watch the sunset and see the canals lit up. Our guide Joric was wonderful and hearing all about the city from him made learning about the city fun. The snacks on board were good, as was the drink selection. Was a great way to spend our first night.
Marc is a great skipper and is knowledgeable about Amsterdam and its history. Helps that the day was also beautiful and sunny! Great vibes!
Beautiful boat with food and drinks included if you choose. Small group allows you to relax and enjoy the amazing views. Boat captain had great information and funny anecdotes.
We had an amazing experience on this canal tour with our young local guide, who was 26 and had a French girlfriend. I’m sorry I don’t remember his name, but he was excellent! He had an amazing knowledge of the area and created a very relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. The small group made the experience feel personal, and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Snacks were included, and drinks were optional. We spent two wonderful hours on the canal and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a relaxed, informative, and enjoyable experience!
