An exciting and interesting cruise. The captain was very friendly and great at entertaining the passengers. The boat handled the water beautifully, and the route was long enough. You get to see some very picturesque views.

On my first day in Amsterdam, I was so amazed by the city’s beauty as I took a boat tour to go all the way around and see all of its historic sites.

We enjoyed our evening cruise. We were able to catch the sunset and see some of the beautifully lit canals in the evening. Our boat driver provided some extra commentary which was great. Very fun! The boat was enclosed and warm, but you could open the windows to get some great photos. Would definitely recommend this boat ride.

It was King’s Day, but even so, the boat wasn’t too crowded; we were even able to board an earlier one than planned, and the commentary was in French, which made it very interesting for us and our granddaughters. It’s another way to explore Amsterdam. We really enjoyed it.

Such a good feeling exploring Amsterdam by boat, warm sunlight, soft wind, nice view of the town🌷🌞 I like the way Lover canal provide audio guide with multi language👍🏻 overall experience was perfect!

Cover two Amsterdam essentials in one booking—a sightseeing cruise along the city canals plus entry to Miniatuur Museum—saving money compared to individual tickets.

Walk through scenes from Amsterdam’s past at Miniatuur Museum, exploring over 1,000 years of history through installations created by Dutch artists.

Wander among models of Dam Square in 1675, the Red-Light District and the Anne Frank House, with video screens and audio guides explaining each display.

For a contrasting experience, cruise along Amsterdam’s famous canals on a heated glass-top boat with multilingual audio commentary and kid-friendly activities included.

Admire sights such as the Skinny Bridge and canal-side streetscapes and compare them with the miniature-scale models inside the museum.

The skipper provided a lot more information than the audio guide, which didn't always work; the canal tour was nice, though I had expected it to take place entirely in the innermost canals

The boat was good and the route also, but I expected much more info given. There were way too many blanks between each comment
