The canal tour was a great way to see the city and hear about the history of the city. We were lucky to experience this on a very beautiful Amsterdam day. Our tour guides Julia and Lau were great and so welcoming. I enjoyed this tour.

Drifting down the canals of Amsterdam

Deborah_B, Sept 2023

The trip was excellent.. It was a beautiful boat. It was very good. The snacks, wine and beer were great. It could have been a little longer. We would recommend it to all our friends.our guide was excellent, and entertaining.

Leaving at dusk was perfect time to go. Got some great pictures.

Cindy_N, Sept 2023

Our bartender and guide were great fun. Johnny W. and Yannick. We were on the Flagship boat with my husband, and my brother, a resident of Amsterdam. We left from Central train station location. We would do this again.

Excellent guided tour

p98hvvbnsf, Sept 2023

The tour was great. Guides had a lot of knowledge and showed things that you would not ordinarily pick up if you went on your own.

Beautiful trip! Nice tour...

What a fun hour on the canals. Albert the captain and Rose & Felicia dis a great job of keeping everyone entertained and refreshed. It was well worth it.

Fun and informative boat cruise

Lynn_D, Sept 2023

Morgane gave a wonderful commentary. Freddy did an amazing job driving the boat and missing the canal walls, however he was extremely hard to understand. The cruise was fun and educational.

Great value and a must do

Lorraine_A, Sept 2023

Vince and Sophie were great hosts on our canal tour. We enjoyed our open boat better than the closed in ones

Fantastic

Lina_W, Sept 2023

Excellent tour with lots of information. It was fun and we had a fantastic time. We highly recommend!!

Difficult to find meeting place when you are early

eric_w, Sept 2023

Map for meeting place not accurate. We arrived one hour prior. Boat and crew were nowhere to be found in the vicinity and we wondered from pier to pier asking. It's only until 25 minutes before departure when we saw an open boat approaching with a gentleman in an orange tee shirt. Duration of the cruise was good but we never came near the open bridge shown on the photo of the excursion. Crews were very friendly though.

Response from Host, Sept 2023

To make amends, we would like to offer you a new tour with us. We are committed to ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable experience next time.

Having fun in Amsterdam with FLAGSHIP

Larry_S, Sept 2023

Dara and Tim’s. Extremely knowledgeable and professional. We totally enjoyed the open boat experience and would recommend Flagship to all our friends.

It’s a boat ride

JM_B, Sept 2023

It was ok. Not a lot of historical information- but it was a boat ride. Could do without the bar services on such a small boat. It doesn’t add much for the “tour” and the drinks a quite expensive. Captain and crew were very delightful. However… I wouldn’t say this is a top thing to put on your “must do “ list whilst visiting Amsterdam

Great value

Bladimir_D, Sept 2023

Good investment for the time spent, skipper and guide are specialists on their business and a valuable source of cultural and historical information

Fun for you (and 30 other people)!

Jennifer_H, Sept 2023

The crew was excellent, but the boat was crammed right with people that it was a bit uncomfortable. Instead of taking people with tickets first and then filling it in with people who were buying tickets on the spot the company packed everyone in. Definitely not a relaxing experience.

Response from Host, Sept 2023
