A different kind of cruise because it goes off the beaten path. And that was thanks to our guide, who kept us engaged with all their commentary, delivered with passion and humor. The whole family enjoyed it. I highly recommend it.

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. 🚤🇳🇱✨

Very friendly crew; interesting and entertaining facts about Amsterdam's history and sights during the cruise. A very pretty boat decorated with flowers. Not too many passengers, which made it more cozy. Delicious drinks at reasonable prices. Definitely worth recommending.

    Beautiful scenery, great guides! A perfect evening. Enjoyed the sunset cruise so much more than in daytime, which was also nice.
