LOVE Amsterdam Boat Adventures!

5.00Absolutely love Amsterdam Boat Adventures. Best Amsterdam canal cruise no doubt. Been on many trips with them over the years. Griffin (boat captain) did a top-notch job. We've been out with Attila and Griffin and could not receommend either of them more. Do yourself a favor, if you have a group of 12 or less, and book your cruise with Amsterdam Boat Adventures. Excellent value for the price too!
I can't recommend Eddie...

5.00I can't recommend Eddie and this experience enough - if you're wanting a private, scenic, and memorable tour of Amsterdam from the water, THIS is the tour to book. Very personable and friendly, Eddie answered many questions that we had. Even as the ship captain, it felt like he was part of our group and made our visit to Amsterdam an authentic one. Thank you again.

5.00Atilla . All you need to know. The tour was relaxed. Atilla super knowledgeable and very personable. I would have him give me a tour of the city on boat and off if that were available. He deserves more than 5 stars.
Private tour.

5.00We had an absolute blast on this canal tour! We booked the private group tour for 6 of us and it was so special. We brought wine and charcuterie and took in all of the beautiful sites of Amsterdam from the historical canals, which is a must do in my opinion! It was the perfect blend of history and fun facts about the city, and just a peaceful cruise. 90 minutes didn’t seem long enough, we could have stayed all night! Do not miss booking this tour!
