We had a great guide in Atilla - his added commentary about the history of Amsterdam and his obvious love of the city brought the tour to another level.

I loved the tour. A great way to get to know Amsterdam from the canals. We took it at 8:30 and it is beautiful to see the bridges and canals and the city with lights. Our guide, excellent!!!! I don't remember his name, but very nice to tell us everything. I highly recommend the tour. I love that it's small group. There were 10 people. Boat open to see. And everyone can see wherever they are.

Fantastic experience with Skipper Jo - he had all the right attention to detail, acting as guide & captain, impressing & engaging by turn. We took what was the Sunset cruise - a magical time for exploring Amsterdam's many Grachts, with lovely light levels & an ever changing perspective on the water. Amsterdam Boat Adventures is highly recommended - you won't regret the experience!
