What is Travellers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
A cruise is an essential experience when in Amsterdam, a city of canals. But it can be hard to feel the magic of sparkling lights and gabled houses when you’re crammed onto hard plastic seats on a mass-market boat. This cruise in a comfortable glass-enclosed vessel is the perfect start to an elegant Amsterdam evening. Savor a selection of fine wines, Dutch cheeses, and nibbles as the city glides by.

      Diasappointing
      Disappointing row of so called art. You can better just walk through the city. Most of the figures have nothing to do with art unlike previous years.

      Amsterdam Highlights Canal Trip - What a Lot of Bridges...
      Very nice 1 hr trip around the Amsterdam central canal system. The trip was full and the captain (a very nice lady) asked everyone to turn off phones and remain seated for the journey. However, some Indian gentlemen decided the rules didn't apply to them (as always it seems) and stood at the very front blocking peoples view. - the captain did not intervene and make them remain seated. She did pick up on someone using their phone further back in the boat and told them to stop or get off - this was annoying because it was inconsistent and standing up on the trip affected far more people than someone making a call. At the end of the journey it was requested that passengers should leave a tip for the captain - all things considered everyone pays enough for the trip anyway - if you want to give a gratuity fair enough but it shouldn't be asked for. Despite all this you do see the city very well from the canals and the commentary is very informative so the trip is well worth going on. BTW - there are apparently 1800 bridges in Amsterdam - that is a lot!!!

      Awesome highlighted boat trip because of captain Ricky
      We had an amazing boat trip with our captain Ricky. Even when the weather was not so good - mixed sun and rain - we really enjoyed this trip because Ricky gave really good, useful and lots of funny informations. And because of the lack of tourists on the boat we had an almost private trip <3

      Best boat trip!!!
      We had so much fun during this trip, lots of good wines, beer and an amazing Pizza. The guiding was lit, good tables, good food and snacks and they also had a bathroom. The windows were clean and there was plenty of view from all of the windows. The price for all of this was worth every single penny

      Don’t bother
      Would not recommend. Very little information from guides, pizza was awful - cold and obviously has been sitting around for quite some time. Skip this one.

      Autumn in Amsterdam
      Ricky is our captain and we loves the route he chose. He was so fun and has good sense of humor. It was relaxing and we could see other side of Amsterdam. For price, this tour had good price.

      Decent boat cruise
      Good tour, the pizza is not that great but then again for the price paid one can't really complain. The captain wand crew were great and really informative.

      Great way to see the canals and architecture of Amsterdam
      It was a great way to explore the Amsterdam canals, to learn about the history of the city and to admire all of the impressive architecture. The team were pleasant and accommodated those who wanted to listen to the narration in another language (if it was available).

      Wonderful Water Tour
      We turned up on a rainy morning and bought our tickets at a nearby sales centre with a very friendly staff member, and walked a very short distance to our boat. The boat was clean and warm, and we made use of the earpieces for the commentary. We found this excellent and it gave a good insight into points of interest and the history of Amsterdam. We did the full circuit first, then opted to hop off at the Rijsmuseum. Two hours later, we hopped on and completed our second circuit. Would recommend.

      Fun tour would recommend
      Informative tour with friendly guide. Had a minor issue with payment but the staff were super friendly in helping me out with it. If I visit Amsterdam again I’d definitely take another tour. Great way to cover a portion of the city without encountering pedestrian traffic.

      Pizza on the canal
      What a great trip, well organised. Great service and nice pizza. Adults and teenagers enjoyed it. Would recommend to all age groups and would definitely go again if we were back in Amsterdam.

      The tour provided a great view of the city, and the captain, Ricky, was both funny and experienced. The boat was clean and comfortable. I wholeheartedly recommend the tour.

    Arrived at the boat with my husband on time, we had an issue finding the ticket on the phone. The member of staff asked us if we had had a drink, we confirmed we had been drinking wine with our evening meal he then said we were not allowed on the boat. !!!! Not sure on a boat that advertises unlimited wine and sitting on your own with your partner it could have caused anyone an issue. Considering it was Saturday night a lot of people in central Amsterdam by 8.30 pm would have had a drink.
    I phoned the company on our return to ask for a refund but they said we had to speak to Trip Advisor, Trip Advisor do not have a phone number or E Maill therefore we have not been able to even to speak to anyone about this yeat alone resolve the issue.
    If it goes wrong you are own you would be better to book while you are there.

    Booked the wine and cheese tour in the ticket office for that afternoon. When we arrived 20 mins early like requested, we were shuffled onto a boat which left 5 mins later.

    Within 5 mins of the cruise we were aware that something wasn’t right. Everyone had headphones in and the boat was silent. There was no sign of cheese or wine.

    The tour lasted 45 mins and no one came to explain the mix up.

    Upon our return we spoke to the ticket office who apologised and promised us a refund.
    This was in early June and we still haven’t received any money back.

    Would not recommend.

    The staff was amazing! The guide was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained. The boat was bigger than expected. From the website it shows a smaller boat with a more intimate scene. We shared a table with another couple and were not able to sit by a window so taking pictures was a bust.

    After 4 visits to Amsterdam I have experienced a few of the canal trips available. My friend and I chose this one as it was an evening cruise . Unfortunately we left it late to book and set sail on a 4.30 trip during daylight.
    What a fabulous experience!!! The boat was large , immaculate, with beautifully turned out staff. We sat on a table specifically for two and were waited on constantly. Nice wine , tasty nibbles and amazing views for my friend who was a first time visitor. At £31 each and a 90 minute trip we found this excellent value!!
    Well worth ignoring some of the cheaper trips.

    I was pretty disappointed by this, unfortunately.

    Firstly, the event felt overbooked. There was no queuing system when you arrived at the dock, leading to obnoxious (and drunk) parties trying to edge their way past people who had been waiting patiently to get on. Not the fault of the organisers, I know, but still wasn't a great first impression.

    We then got into the boat, where guests were packed in like sardines. People who had seats that weren't next to the aisle were stuck because the seats were so close to each other. My partner had back/neck pain because she physically couldn't move.

    There was also very little when it came to anecdotes about the area. On an hour-and-a-half cruise I expected more than four/five quick segments about where we were.

    If you are a big party of people who want to be loud then this is probably going to fit the bill, but if you're a couple who's looking for a peaceful, intimate cruise, then I would swerve this option.

    Overall this was an excellent experience, but whether it will be great or just good depends what you are looking for from the trip.

    The staff was extremely friendly, the portions of wine were generous, and the views of the city are amazing: it's a great experience relative to the price charged for the cruise.

    The only hesitation I'd have in recommending it to everyone is that this is meant to be more of a fun atmospheric cruise, and so while there is guided commentary, it is lighter than on other Amsterdam canal tours I've been on. This is a good thing for what can be a fun night with friends or a significant other, but means that if you want a fully informative guided canal cruise this maybe isn't the one to do.

    On my trip I did this trip and a daytime more traditional canal cruise, and was glad to do both. This was definitely the better of the two as an overall experience.

    Bier and Isabela and Captain Phillipe made our tour so fun. The right amount of narration and breaks and unlimited wine or beer or soft drinks and cheese. We had a very nice time and we’re able to see from the water which is a different perspective. Plenty of room aboard the boat and was covered over in case of rain. Good time.

    This was 100% the best thing we did on our holiday in Amsterdam. I would recommend it to everyone! We were really lucky to have a table to ourselves (it was relatively quiet perhaps eight other couples). The cheese was awesome and so were the crackers and nuts! The wine was nice too and they just kept topping it up which was a great surprise! All the staff were so friendly and the guide was very informative and funny! The views were wonderful and it was just the most amazing experience ever! Thank you so much for a great time!
