Nice comfy boat going...
Nice comfy boat going through the old part of the city near the red light district not the inner canals near the city Centre. Crew were great and explained all about the city.

Amazing! Recommend recommend;)
Jasmin and Naduah were amazing along with the new guide (we unfortunately don’t remember his name). We learned a lot about Amsterdam and enjoyed the boat ride thoroughly.

Bon Voyage!
We enjoyed our evening Amsterdam canal cruise. The crew were well informed historically, sharing fascinating tidbits of how Amsterdam came to be in a humorous way. Plenty of libations. Gorgeous route sneaking our way through the water by evening light. Go for it- you will like this cruise.

Almost private tour with laughs and interesting historic facts
I booked the day before and had basically a private tour. It was my dad, two other friends and me. Michel and Yannis were amazing captain and host, they were very kind and attentive. They provided very interesting facts and shared stories from Amsterdam with good humor and always a smile! I wanted it to last longer! The weather although chilly was not rainy and we could hang out on the open side of the boat. I highly recommend the experience!

Making the most of bad weather
Our flight was delayed by 4 hours which meant we missed our pre-booked boat tour. However, Boat Amsterdam were kind enough to allow us to reschedule. Thanks so much. Whilst it turned out to be cold and wet on day of our cruise, we were warmed up by the very friendly and kind crew and their generous offer of free hot chocolate and other drinks. A big thanks to Luda, Jasmine and Tobias for helping us make the most of the bad weather, teaching us all about Amsterdam and keeping us warm with blankets, great conversations and your friendliness.
