Janine and Adriana were the best captains ever. They were super guided through the boat trip and had interesting information and facts about Amsterdam. The boat was very comfortable and there were good drinks. It was a great experience and I and my friends definitely want to do it again ☺️ highly recommended! ☺️

Nonu and Kim were very good. It was hard to hear what Kim was saying sometimes, we were in the middle of the boat.

If visiting Amsterdam, then this boat cruise is a must! Great drinks, a lovely breeze and stunning views - what more can you ask for? Andrianna was brilliant — funny, engaging and full of energy, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. So relaxing and smooth, I’ll definitely be coming back!

We took the tour including cocktails and snacks. We certainly didn't complain about the cocktails, we each got 2 at the hour we dangerd, however snacks we can't call this, a small bag of doritos per person, this is disappointing.
