    Nice evening cruise
    gsiranko, Sept 2023
    The tour guides were excellent and the night scenery was lovely. The evening views were great when all lite up
    Great canal cruise.
    Cindy_B, Sept 2023
    We appreciated the boat having a cover as it rained periodically during our stay in Amsterdam Staff was accommodating. Wine and cheese was great.
    Worst canal cruise I’ve had in Amsterdam
    Lauren_P, Sept 2023
    I have had great experiences so far booking via viator, however this was not one of them. It is rated quite high but I think it is for a smaller open boat. Ours was a big closed boat that was extremely noisy at the back. Every time I the boat slowed or had to break, it was so loud you couldn’t hear anyone talking, which was almost all of the cruise. The tour guides were younger and unenthusiastic, felt like they read off a script. Played music during most of the tour, so learned very little. Also plastic was over some of the windows so you couldn’t see. Extremely expensive for one of the worst tours I had in Amsterdam.
    Lovely final evening activity
    Folu_A, Sept 2023
    Our host (Dana?) was awesome, she was so engaging and brought the story’s to life. The captain also chipped in well. Lovely evening cruise and I’d highly recommend
    Best value
    Brian_W, Sept 2023
    Excellent cruise on the historic restored wooden boat “Evelyn” crew were very knowledgeable and entertaining. Well supplied with cheese and drinks (payable at the end, but very reasonable)
    Romantic cruise
    Matthew_N, Sept 2023
    Great guides, wine and cover boat to keep us dry! Enjoyed it very much, glad the boat roof kept us dry on a rainy evening.
    Relaxing
    Melissa_V, Sept 2023

    Awesome night cruise
    Joseph_M, Sept 2023
    I would recommend a nigh cruise on the canal. The canal and city lit up gives a different perspective of the cool vibe of the city. Also, the crew was great at sharing a little tidbits about Amsterdam.
    Amsterdam Spectacular Evening Canal Boat Ride
    Dawn_S, Sept 2023
    Our hosts were wonderful and the ride boat ride along Amsterdam’s canals was spectacular! One suggestion would be for hosts to have microphone headsets to make it easier for those riding in the back of the boat to hear commentary.
    Lots of informative narration
    Karen_T, Sept 2023
    An enjoyable experience cruising through the canals.. easy to find, decent price. Staff were lovely..
    A must in Amsterdam
    Clarke_B, Sept 2023
    The guides we had were quick on their feet when the previous guide we went to out the front of Anne frank house sent us in the wrong direction. We we’re boarded and provided with everything we we’re entitled to with a smile and the cruise was great, informative and funny.
    Relaxed and fun
    Melanie_S, Sept 2023
    A relaxed cruise with some fun young guides. Learnt some things about Amsterdam we wouldn't have otherwise known. A nice way to see some of Amsterdam.
    Great experience - beautiful night boat tour
    Ori_e, Aug 2023
    Great team - fun and knowledgeable - definitely recommended - I think Dan but I don't remember the name :o
    Want information on the canal system… you are on your own
    mike_s, Aug 2023
    Guide spent most of the time pouring drinks and providing little information about the points of interest. For example she pointed out we are passing the canal that lines up 7 bridges as we are passing them. We were not given any time to see it let alone take a picture of it. We were disappointed with the whole hour.

    Amsterdam River Cruise
    Karen_S, Aug 2023
    It's the best way to see Amsterdam. The guides are very informative and fun. The wine and cheese added to the experience.
    Evening light on a canal cruise
    John_R, Aug 2023
    The two gentlemen that took us on the cruise were informed and had a sense of humor. Nothing like having a drink made for as you float down an Amsterdam Canal watching day turn to night!
    Nice ride but not informative
    milanakalika, Aug 2023
    The scenery was beautiful. The guides were not every talkative throughout the one hour experience, considering there were 2 of them.

    Great Experience with terrific guide
    JamesM_L, Aug 2023
    Fun and informative tour guided by a delightfully personal captain and attendant. Much more a social and cultural event than we expected and we certainly saw the sights and got a sense of the canal experience. Overall a lovely experience.
