5.00What an amazing experience! We were able to see the lights on the 9:00 tour and our guide was very informative. We will definitely be recommending this tour to anyone visiting Amsterdam.
Very special experience

5.00Delightful small group experience on an historic canal boat. The owner/captain was very engaging with many interesting stories that added depth to what we were seeing. Because the boat is smaller than those impersonal large crafts, he could maneuver farther and into areas not typically visited. We even got a view of the zoo!!! The included charcuterie board was plentiful and delicious. Wine was extra. Only recommendation would be to pay by the glass rather than the flat up charge.
Excellent and fun!

5.00Sven was an incredible skipper! He was very welcoming, knowledgeable, and upbeat! You could tell how much he loved leading the tour, and it made all of us aboard have an even better experience. It was a smaller, more intimate setting than the huge boats you often see in the canals. It was a wonderful way to see the city and learn more about the history of Amsterdam. The food and drinks were an additional perk!! Would highly recommend booking with Voyage!!!
Great experience and fabulous guide!

5.00Great tour, very educational with the help of a friendly and very knowledgable Voyage pilot/guide. Learnt more about Amsterdam and its history during this 2 hour tour than in all previous visits. This was the first time we did the tour. Will do it again with friends next visit.
Best canal tour experience!

5.00Our guide, Tallon, was knowledgeable, fun, and an exceptionally safe navigator. We enjoyed the experience immensely and cannot recommend this enough. Much more personal and enjoyable than larger boats crammed with large crowds.
Best experience in Amsterdam

5.00This was a fantastic experience; top 3 favorite thing in Amsterdam during our visit. Tallon was our driver, super knowledgeable about the history of Amsterdam and kept all our attention the whole 2 hours. I am a huge Ted Lasso fan and since we had some time toward the end he took us to where the bridge scene played out in the ‘sunflower’ episode. The other two groups that joined us were so great, we all laughed and had a wonderful time. Snacks and drinks were perfect. Can’t say enough good remarks about this experience, highly recommend, best way to see Amsterdam!
Great time
