5.00Really enjoyable experience We took it at 7 pm on a Friday (April 10th) the captain was very knowledgeable about the history of Amsterdam and its canals. He was also entertaining and made the experience fun. Seeing the canals as they light up at night was great
Great evening experience

5.00It was a very nice experience. Our guide Robert was super casual. You can tell him the experience. Who knows how the whole birds have their nests 😉 The two hours passed very quickly and were very entertaining. Even my mother, who has problems with English, could understand him very well.
Super fun

5.00Best part of our trip! Great snacks, awesome vibe and drinks. Our First Mate customized the tour for my 3 year old to see the giraffes! She loved it and so did we! Robert is the best!
Fun tour of the city!

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!
