The tour was wonderful. The two guides weee a great partner. They complimented each other with the stories. They are courteous, knowledgeable, and relate to their own experiences living in Amsterdam. Would have liked more history of Amsterdam, buildings and boats. The history was general and while they are ok for children I guess for the audience who are mostly adults in the boat it could be catered to have bit more facts and narrative on the city. The ticket is easy to busy however the venue for the meeting and pick up wasn't clear. The staffs weee kind enough to accept as we weee in a group of 5 and didn't get noticed it at all. This was nice gestures from the staffs. The tour is good and easy going for those who want to see Amsterdam from a 'canal' point of view.

We had a fantastic time on the open boat cruise in Amsterdam! The boat itself was beautiful and made the experience feel extra special, while the views of the canals and the city were simply stunning. A very special thank you to our guide, who made the whole trip so much fun. We learnt so many interesting facts about Amsterdam, shared plenty of laughs, and really enjoyed the relaxed and friendly atmosphere. There were five of us, aged from 41 to 9, and everyone absolutely loved it — which says a lot! A wonderful experience for all ages and definitely something we would recommend. 🚤🇳🇱✨

Casual, lovely cruise on pretty boat (this is the the one with all the orange flowers). Learned lots of tid-bits about Amsterdam, highly recommend. Leaves from right in front of Anne Frank House, so nice to do before or after. We had 3:15 tickets to Anne Frank and booked the 5pm cruise. Was perfect timing for having plenty of time for Anne Frank and then being ready to ride. Don't sit in the back if possible (by the captain) as the communication that comes over the walkie-talkie makes it harder to hear the tour guide.

Small boat. Well informed and personal crew. Fun facts and great camaraderie. Good value for money and much more intimate than the larger boats with headphone commentary. Personal recommendation our hotel The Delphi Townhouse. Very good value. A great Corrientes.
