My friend had taken one of these boat rides and didn’t like it, so I wasn’t expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised and entertained by Mr T! 2 suggestions: I wanted to leave him a tip, but don’t usually exchange currency, so having an electronic way to tip would be great. I would also suggest better directions to find the boat. There are so many. I went to the wrong place 3 times before finding the boat. Thank you!
Very knowledge captain. Enjoyed learning some of the Amsterdam history Great value and length of adventure just right!
Birthday celebrations with family after sunset. Got to see a side of the city you don’t see on foot. Really pretty it’s all the lights from the bridges and the streets, bars and houses. Knowledgeable staff and super friendly. Lovely little boat, cost and welcoming.
pretty scenery, lovely tour, lovely staff, would definitely do it again, very relaxing and romantic, definitely recommend
It was a very fun, informative experience! We loved seeing the beautiful architecture of the buildings as well as hearing about the history! Our tour guide was very friendly and professional!
B was excellent! The canal tour was amazing and educational. So glad we did it.
Great tour with JayJay! He was funny, friendly and gave us loads of interesting info about Amsterdam. Really enjoyable and relaxed — highly recommended!
The views were fantastic. Jack was a fantastic tour guide. He was very engaging and witty. Would highly recommend.
The tour was nice, we were lucky to select the best time to see the sunset. The meeting point is so close to the station.
It was a nice experience the driver and girl on board were very good my only thing was it’s advertised as a sunset cruise and it wasn’t that it was still light skys but end of cruise
