Do this tour!

This a Must Do! Tim was our guide and what a fascinating history about the history of the canals and the houseboats! This is the best way to see the hidden beauty of this magnificent city. Thanks to Viator for a valuable, calm and relaxing tour.

Where do these 5 star reviews come from???

Booked this evening (21.30) cruise during a few days in Amsterdam to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We thought it would be one of the highlights of the trip but sadly not. To say we were disappointed is to put it very mildly. We noticed that unlike most of the other similar boats that we'd seen this one just had the skipper unlike others who had a skipper and 1 other crew member (presumably to sort out drinks and provide commentary). We had paid extra for the unlimited drinks option - well what a scam. A drink before the boat cast off then no further mention of drinks at all. We would have expected at least a help yourself from the onboard boxes which were shut - and from where we were sat would have had to squeeze past other passengers. Also really disappointing was the skipper (couldn't catch his name unfortunately). Had no microphone and as a result difficult to comprehend. We were sitting next to him but behind, no idea how people at the front would have heard what he was saying. Having said that he actually said very very little so didn't learn anything about the areas we were going through or the buildings etc that we were passing. What a contrast to an excellent guide we had the previous day on a GURU free walking tour. Perhaps with some aspects we were unlucky but this is our opinion of what we experienced.

A perfect end to a day in Amsterdam

The night cruise was the perfect time of day to enjoy the city from the canals. Captain Jack was personable and informative and we learned much more about Amsterdam!

Essential

You absolutely must do this activity when you are in Amsterdam and preferably at nightfall, because you get to enjoy the very beautiful interiors, the buildings, and the lights of the streetlamps on the water; an incredible experience, a magical walk.
