5.00We took a canal boat tour in Amsterdam with our 19- and 20-year-old kids and it was the perfect start to our time in Amsterdam. Our guide, Sven, was excellent — he blended humor with a deep knowledge of the city’s history and architecture, which made the entire experience both entertaining and informative. He kept the tour lively with funny commentary while also pointing out details about the canals and neighborhoods that we would have completely missed on our own. The snacks and drinks were a great addition and made the ride feel relaxed and social rather than just another sightseeing tour. Overall, it was a fantastic way to experience Amsterdam from the water, and Sven truly made the tour memorable. Highly recommend!
A great experience

5.00My husband and I absolutely loved the canal tour with Lucas. He was incredibly knowledgeable, answered all of our questions, and was incredibly friendly. Our tour met from 5:00-7:00 in the evening and we appreciated the wine and cheese before dinner. We also were quite happy to be riding in a covered boat as it was snowing heavily. I highly recommend this tour.
Highlight of our trip

5.00Fully recommend this trip. Two hours long with cheese/snacks and wine, you get to see loads of the city and the guide was really knowledgeable. It was a full two hours and was so worth it. Really glad we went

5.00Super nice and dedicated guide. 2h flew by and there was no single moment to wonder “are we there yet?”;) Only the boat pic is a bit misleading as we had a boat with “tent like” cover up, which still was not the warmest :p also I thought we would be be given more context on the light festival, however the context on Amsterdam was super cool and interesting!
Would take this tour again!
