This tour was amazing!!! Our guide was very fun but also gave some great information about Amsterdam. We had so much fun with the entire boat. Food included was delicious and plenty of drinks on board. It was raining leading up to the tour and they had a clear plastic cover and were able to open it up once it stopped raining. Highly recommend!
This was a fun and entertaining introduction to Amsterdam and the canal system. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and shared a great deal of both history and modern knowledge. The snacks and drinks were just right for a light fare for this afternoon cruise.
The tour operator called to change the booking….When I go back to my room I realized the change was not going to to work. I contacted the operator and never heard back. We did not take the tour….and never heard back….poor customer service
We met the boat at the dock sites, it was exactly on time. The cover was on because of pending showers of rain, but open at the sides. The seating was comfortable and there were plates of nibbles and a good selection of wines to chose from. Our guide was a native of Amsterdam and gave us a complete history of the city and pointed out all the sights, and the quirks. Loved this trip and I highly recommend it. A small group made the experience better.
Lucas was amazing and entertaining. Get the drink package. You won’t regret it! Beautiful way to see the city.
A must do - Cas was tremendous!!! Cruise was a great way to see the city at sunrise. Highly recommend!!!
Had a smaller group of 12 for the tour. Unique way to see Amsterdam and a better look at the houseboats in the canal. Our captain Cas was friendly and quick with stories and facts about Amsterdam and the Netherlands. Great for an evening pre dinner activity.
There are so many beautiful canals but we didn’t see them. We stayed in the more industrial part of Amsterdam. Very disappointed.
A great way to see Amsterdam. Our guide was very knowledgeable.
We had a beautiful and very informative evening cruise. Our guide Joris was professional, well prepared and funny. This was a highlight of our stay in Amsterdam. Highly recommend
