Very nice walk without rushing with top-notch explanations from Emelyne and Roby. Boat with toilets on board which is quite rare apparently. Only points to improve: change of the time of the service the day before (we had not seen it but there was no problem being registered for another time) and visit only in English or Dutch.
An excellent trip with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. We were with two children aged 7 and 10 and they enjoyed it too. We went at 11.10 before it got too hot and the boat was quiet with only 6 of us so we could move around easily to take photos. We really liked the small open boat which enabled us to see everything easily. Would highly recommend as a way of seeing Ansterdam and learning a bit of its interesting history.
We had a fantastic canal cruise through Amsterdam! A big thank you to our guide Lui, who made the tour a special experience with a lot of knowledge, charm, and humor. He told exciting stories and provided a lot of interesting information about Amsterdam – we learned quite a few new things about the city. Also a big compliment to our skipper Nick, who navigated us confidently and safely through the canals. The entire tour was excellently organized, relaxed, and at the same time very informative. We can recommend this canal cruise without reservation. Many thanks to Luis and Nick for this great experience!
Nice and chill tour with kind people with some curious information about Amsterdam you will learn from

We loved this tour! While it was quick, we learned so much about the city and were able to see so much from the water. Next trip we would like to double our time on the water, it was absolutely stunning and we had the best weather! Our guide was super fun and personable.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you loved your Amsterdam canal cruise with Boat Amsterdam and enjoyed seeing the city from the beautiful Amsterdam canals. We completely agree — a canal cruise through Amsterdam is one of the best ways to experience the city and its famous sights.

We’d absolutely love to welcome you back next time for an even longer boat tour through Amsterdam so you can enjoy even more time on the water!
Really great tourist activity Friendly informative hosts, great information Relaxed pace Good route Would definitely recommend
The tour is really highly recommended. The team was super friendly and friendly! When visiting Amsterdam, the boat trip is a must:)
We looked at all the boats zipping up and down the canals and decided a small open boat was the best for us - we could see everything easily without a roof overhead, it was still relatively warm with sun and some clouds. Our skipper was Holm and Jasmine was our charming guide. We picked the 2 drink option which included sparkling water, sodas, wine (chardonnay and rose) and Heineken beer, which was just right. If you didn't go for the drinks options, you would still get water and coffee included. The small boat allowed us to go through the tiny canals which were utterly charming, so you could see the old town up close. We had just done a walking tour and were quite tired so this was the perfect way to spend the afternoon. Jasmine was a fund of knowledge and kept up a steady interesting conversation about the sights and the history at the same time serving us drinks. The small boat made it feel personal and we we enjoyed meeting other people on the boat and hearing where they were from. I can thoroughly recommend this company and this guide and skipper who did a great job of navigating us safely. We have done various tours with just an audio guide and you don't get the same experience from someone who lives there and knows the area and its history so well. If you spend so much time and energy and money getting to Amsterdam, spend a little more and book the live guides. We booked the trip on the spur of the moment as they were very close to the Jewish area walking tour that we had just finished, and only had to wait 40 minutes for the boat. Very convenient and time efficient too.
Visiting Amsterdam with my wife, we decided to take the cruise and canal tour with Boatamsterdam.com from the opera balet. The experience was memorable and exceptional thanks to Michel and Tomas! I can only recommend and again thank you to the whole team.
Great experience! Guys are so much fun my son loved it. I am so happy we took it this tour. They told a cool story, much new information. Was really fun
