Wonderful way to see the canals, learn about Amsterdam and enjoy wine and cheese. Staff was attentive and friendly

Response from Host, May 2023

Hi Michele, thank you for your enthusiastic review! We will give this nice feedback to our staff! Regards, Stromma Team

Delicious, relaxing, and informative!

Jenna_T, May 2023

We arrived to find cheese and snacks on the table and the servers immediately offered us wine which they continued to refill the entire cruise. The guide who announced along the way was knowledgeable and entertaining. All four crew (guide, two servers, and captain) were all wonderful and funny. We also had a great time chatting with the guests at the tables around us in between information from our guide. If you enjoy wine, cheese, and want to get a snapshot of Amsterdam, we highly recommend this tour (they do have beer and soda available if wine is not your thing)!

Cruise with a snack

Shari_J, May 2023

Cruise was nice. Not a lot of information given about the city but snippets here and there. Four cheeses were offered with two bites of each and the wine was fine. The city is lovely at night.

Relaxing and informative

RitaBloom_M, May 2023

Captain Herrel provided a wonderful narrative with a very attentive crew. He even dropped us near our hotel. We could not have had a more relaxing evening.

Lots of wine with views of the city

Eric_W, Apr 2023

Lots of great cheese and wine! They kept the wine coming and the service was great. There isn’t a ton of guiding going on. Every once in a while they would say/explain something but for the most to time, it’s a booze cruise (which was fine for us).

Wind down, or wind up!

Kelly_S, Apr 2023

The evening cruise proved a perfect way to start our vacation. The professionals on board made us feel welcome and safe. The wine and cheese were terrific nibbles as we took in the architecture and waterways of Amsterdam.

Emma_A, Mar 2023

We had a tramway problem and it was impossible to reach the operator. Nobody on watt's app, the two phone number were not working. We couldn't do the activity and any refund possible. We were very disapointed.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Hi Emma, that sounds like bad luck. Can you please send a email to info@stromma.nl with your bookingsinformation and what happend. Then we can look into it. Thank you. Best Regards, Stromma Netherlands

below average

Connor_M, Nov 2022

It was way too crowded on the boat. There was minimal personal space. The windows continued to get foggy and it was hard to see through the windows. Also, the service was not great. People started to serve themselves because the waiters never came.

Absolutely amazing...

Reem_M, July 2022

Fun trip with a Top Notch Crew

Elizabeth_K, July 2022

This was a fun way to see the coastline of central Amsterdam. A comfortable boat with an able and wonderful captain. Captain Billy....she was worth her weight in gold; not only a topnotch skipper but also a funny, knowledgeable guide.. Cheese was not the best but the lovely crew kept the wine coming, and it was not bad. Lots of good information passed on in a beautiful setting.

Great view of the city + great cheese

NAVNEET_S, June 2022

Great cheese and wine. Nice way to see the city in a comfortable manner. Boat was not jammed full like some other tours

Response from Host, June 2022

Thank you! Good to hear you enjoyed the Cheese & Wine cruise. Sounds like a very enjoyable way to explore Amsterdam :)

Excellent value for money

Ian_S, June 2022

An interesting and relaxing way to get the feel of Amsterdam. The guide didn't talk too much, giving just the right amount of detail about each interesting area. The cheese was tasty and our wine glasses were kept full throughout.

Response from Host, June 2022

Thank you Ian, glad you enjoyed it! An empty wine class is never a good idea ;)
