Evening Canal cruise

4.00Maybe I misunderstood but I thought we were supposed to have snacks on this canal cruise. Also, there was only 1 kind of not very good wine and the beer was lukewarm. BUT, Atilla was very nice and gave us a lot of history about the canals and Amsterdam in general.
Excellent experience in Amsterdam

5.00Attila our guide was excellent. The heated seats on the boat and the blankets were much appreciated for an evening cruise. This was an informative and enjoyable tour.

5.00George told us the history of Amsterdam with humor and relaxation. All washed down with wine and accompanied by cheeses. In short nothing to do with tours with audio guides.

5.00The evening tour felt very peaceful and magical. Our tour guide gave us a lot of good information but also made it feel as though we were having a conversation versus simply a tour. We really enjoyed the small numbers on the boat. I would definitely recommend. It was one of my favorite things we did while in Amsterdam!
Fun tour

5.00We booked this tour at the last minute and are so glad we did! We booked the evening cruise which I highly recommend as you still get some daylight and then the transition into the evening and the magic of seeing the lights of the city by boat. And it is magical! Our tour guide was Captain Vince, he is super knowledgeable, super friendly and just knows how to host a good boat tour, we felt in great hands. It was raining lightly but the canopy was up and there were blankets and it just added to the whole magical experience hearing the light rain on the canopy, wrapped up in a blanket and sailing through the canals seeing the lights of the city as we floated by. We highly recommend this boat tour, it’s professional, the boat is beautiful and the guide was superb. Can’t rate them highly enough, all around a really great experience you shouldn’t miss.
Great evening on Amsterdam canals
