The Best Canal Tour!

5.00We had the best time on this canal tour. The boat is beautiful and has great visibility perfect for taking pictures! It actually ended up being just our family on the boat, which made the whole experience feel really special and relaxed. Max was an amazing guide — super knowledgeable about Amsterdam and all the history, but also really funny and easy to talk to. He told lots of great stories along the way and had us laughing the whole tour. It never felt scripted or boring. Seeing the city from the canals was the perfect way to start our trip and honestly one of our favourite things we’ve done so far in Amsterdam. Would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting!
Be sure to try this experience!

5.00The trip was very comfortable, the boat is well prepared for long tours, nice accommodation that does not interfere with enjoying the views. In a fairly short time I was able to see most of the sights of Amsterdam compared to walking. I learnt a lot about the historical sites that we passed and about the canal navigation in the city.

5.00This evening boat tour in Amsterdam was absolutely amazing! The city lights at night created a magical atmosphere, and thanks to the captain the whole experience felt even more special. He knows the routes really well and shares lots of fascinating stories and little-known facts about Amsterdam. It truly felt like we were sailing not just through the canals, but through the living history of the city. The boat itself was very clean, comfortable, and cozy – perfect for such an evening. I highly recommend this captain – he turns the tour into a real adventure!

4.00We went on a boat tour with friends and it was amazing. Our guide gave us a lot of interesting information about the city but also gave us space to just enjoy sightseeing. I really enjoyed the tour during the sunset since you can enjoy both the daytime and see the night life. So I truly recommend it. Mind you that the drinks on the boat are not free
A magical journey through the canals, where the city reveals itself from a new perspective and the captain creates a fun

5.00A boat tour through the canals of Amsterdam was absolutely wonderful! The city looks incredibly atmospheric from the water – the houses and bridges seem even more magical. I especially enjoyed how the captain guided the tour: with humor, ease, and lots of interesting facts. We not only learned so many new things but also had a really fun time along the way. It was the perfect way to discover Amsterdam and at the same time get a ton of positive emotions.

5.00It was amazing! I had an anwesome experience cruising through the canals of Amsterdam with my friends. It was so interesting to listen to the guided tour and learn more about the city’s history and hidden stories. The route itself was very well chosen and gave us a wonderful view of Amsterdam from the water. I guess it was the best route to see the most beautiful places of Amsterdam. The boat was clean, comfortable, and very well kept. What made the trip truly unforgettable was our captain – incredibly charismatic, friendly, welcoming.

5.00My friends came to visit me and we took a walk through Amsterdam in the evening. Despite the fact that I have been living here for a year, thanks to the wonderful guide and the well-chosen route, I learned a lot about the city and often didn't even recognize the streets that I often walked on foot, because from a boat it is a completely different and interesting experience. I definitely recommend it 🔥
