  • Very disappointing - NOT kid friendly

    Unfortunately this was not a good experience for our family. The kids’ audio tour didn’t function properly, which was frustrating for them. The audio portion of the adult tour was mistimed with the cruise so we never knew what we were looking at. The live portion of the tour was lackluster and not informative - eg telling us the name of a building with no further context. I do not recommend this tour, especially if you’re with kids.

  • Super!

    Fantastic! We definitely recommend this boat tour through beautiful Amsterdam, which lasted more than 75 minutes. Very informative via audio with additions from the captain. Employees very friendly, cashiers very helpful and attentive! 1 of the better tour boats in Amsterdam (certainly in terms of price/quality ratio) There are two central boarding points. Thank you Blue for this wonderful experience and we would love to come back again

    The commentary was sparse and audio did not work on all channels. Would have been nice to know which canal we were on, so could follow on map. Windows were too small to get photo without window frame. Would not repeat trip.

  • Just OK

    This was just an OK canal cruise to me. Like many museums, it was an audio guide, but no food and drinks for 22 EUR. After walking around more, there were canal cruises for 14 EUR or ones for about the same price including open Bar.

    Amsterdam seen from below, from the water is very beautiful. However, the organization of this tour was really bad. Very uncomfortable chairs and then the guide registered in 75 minutes will have talked for 3 minutes maximum. Shameful

    To conclude our group's visit to Amsterdam, we opted for a cruise with Blue Boat Company. However, due to our mistake we were late for our appointment (we had underestimated the crowds in Amsterdam). Together we looked for a solution and it was nothing short of fantastic. We enjoyed a beautiful cruise with excellent commentary from the driver to end our visit. Thank you!
