I booked with Amsterdam boat trips as a party of three and had a wonderful experience. We went on a Thursday at 3:30 and had the boat to ourselves. Tallon and Kia took us through the canal and did an incredible job explaining the history surrounding the canals. We went on a beautiful route and we’re very happy with our experience!
Great ride! Both the captain Tallon and his first Mate Kim make for a great story telling, kind and courteous crew. We could not have had a better overview of Amsterdam. Highly recommend doing this trip, first thing on your arrival! Nike, just do it!
The lady was very nice! I’m a local but still learned a lot I didn’t know yet. It was very great that you are allowed to drink and smoke on the boat! Also they have blankets for when you’re cold. Would definitely go again!☺️
Tour was great! Rafaella & Huilb were great guides and hosts. Highly recommend doing this experience while in Amsterdam. Drinks & cheese were also delicious! (My husband asked permission to take this photo of a crew member, if you see it, hope you like it!)
We had an amazing time on this boat tour—definitely one of the highlights of our trip! Kat was an incredible host: friendly, knowledgeable, and super entertaining throughout the journey. She shared fun facts and stories about the area in a way that was both informative and fun. Pascal was the perfect co-host—calm, professional, and made sure everything ran smoothly. The two of them make a great team and created a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere on board. The boat was comfortable, the views were stunning.Highly recommend this tour if you want something a bit more personal and memorable!
