We expected more for a "luxury" experience. Operator started off by making a racist like joke that we did not find funny. Throughout the tour other racial jokes and stories were shared. Interesting choice for a boat ride of all brown guests. The rest of the tour was ok.

Nice small group and very personable guide. Food and drink was great, plenty to be had by all! My only tip is to do this on your arrival, we did it on our last night and by then we had seen so much.

Perfect canal cruise. The length of the cruise was spot on - any shorter would have not been enough. Captain Mare was an absolute wealth of information and gave us all a whole new found respect for Amsterdam and its very interesting history.

This tour was absolutely incredible. Our captain was amazing! He told us so much about the city and shared really cool family stories and showed us old pictures. The food was a perfect taste of the local cuisine and the drinks were great as well! Out of all the canal tours, I'm confident that this is one of the best!

This was an awesome cruise. We had 14 people and there was room to spare. Our Guide Captain Stephan was awesome. He gave us a lot of history with humor. You could tell he really enjoyed his job. It was, relaxing, fun and beautiful. The food was nice and plenty of drinks alcohol and non alcohol. We would highly recommend this cruise.

This was the first thing we did after arriving in Amsterdam and, after queuing for two hours in the airport for security and then having an issue at our hotel, it was a much welcome break. Captain Eric was very informative and seeing Amsterdam in the dark all lit up was very nice. The food and drink were also very good and we would definitely recommend.
