Amsterdam evening cruise with Captain Attila

5.00A wonderful tour, and a great way to get a fresh perspective of Amsterdam! Captain Attila was a funny and knowledgeable guide, and the boat was very comfortable (the blankets were a welcome bonus). I wish I'd gone on the tour earlier in my stay in Amsterdam, since the captain gave a lot of good suggestions on lesser-known areas to check out, but I'll just have to save those for next time!
Amsterdam first timers!

5.00From the moment we checked in to the moment we left the boat it was an amazing experience. Our Capitan/ tour guide Jeremy ( I might spell his name wrong,sorry) was friendly knowledgeable person. He was sharing his knowledge of history of Amsterdam while we were taking small canals. We saw Amsterdam from different angles. Thank you so much Capitan for the amazing opportunity to learn about Amsterdam!
Blooming tulips along the tour!

5.00JC was our guide and he was excellent… he even sang a song for us! A great tour with a nice small group size. We stopped at four stops along the way to hear the historical significance of the location. Our favorite was the park with floating boxes of blooming tulips. Highly recommend this tour!
Ok boat trip

3.00Our boat tour was not quite as expected. There was little commentary related to the sights or history of Amsterdam as we had hoped for. The weather was very cold as well- they did offer heated seats and blankets however I would recommend dressing very warmly if taking this tour in April. The meeting point was a bit out if the way and hard to find too.
