Great experience. Gave us a lot of historical information and great views. Funny humour and entertainment as well. Sarah and the skipper Rene did so well.

Great booze cruise vibe. The tour guides were great & entertaining. Note - Its not an indept tour of the canals. I was looking for something more educational/maybe longer. Wish the other reviews had included that.

We took the cruise on a Saturday, and the boat was completely full. The guide was great and kept us entertained along the way by sharing interesting facts about the city. Our friends chose the package with drinks and were very happy with it, while we went for the basic ticket since we didn’t want to drink. Everything went really smoothly. Highly recommended — a great attraction in Amsterdam.

Loved it! Thankfully it was a lovely sunny day and it was great seeing the city this way. We had such a good time that booked to go round again! Captain Pien was full of great facts and Annafee made sure our drinks were never empty. She made the best Cuba Libres ever!

Anastasia was so helpful and made our experience worth it! We had bought the booze cruise experience and she served us with attention and detail. The two who were working were so friendly and gave us great tips and stories of the city.

Absolutely incredible experience so insightful and light hearted. I had a great time talking with clement and mauritz about the history in the town and they were very good at explaining everything. The price was very fair and the hour was a perfect amount of time. Next time I'm back in Amsterdam I will for sure be booking with friendship Amsterdam again.

We had a great boat tour with the captain Mauritz and the hostess Sara. The trip was fantastic, the boat was nice and very comfortable. We had an amazing view. Sara was incredibly kind, looked after us, and even took fantastic photos of us. I can highly recommend this tour and will definitely come back again!
