Great way to end the day - This was a perfect way to end our first full day in Amsterdam. Jamie was a great guide, pointing out interesting sights, sharing history of the Netherlands, and making everyone feel comfortable during our 90-minute cruise. The boat was comfortable and there were blankets for the chilly night air and drinks for purchase. Highly recommend doing this at sunset for the beautiful light on the water and then the night lights along the canals.

Amsterdam River Tour worth the time! - Jamie was a great guide! Definitely suggest taking a river tour and hearing about the history of the city while seeing it from a different view. Rain or shine, Jamie will make your experience great!

Unforgettable Sunset Cruise - An unforgettable experience. We were lucky enough to end up with a "private cruise" as nobody else turned up (likely due to rainy weather) and it was such a lovely way to explore the city at night. They offered us blankets which kept us warm and cosy against the cold, and let us drink our own hot chocolates that we brought along. As we booked around sunset, we got to see the lights gradually turn on at each bridge, making the whole experience magical. Our tour guides James and Catherine (sorry if wrong names) were very friendly and informative, as they didn't bombard us with facts but instead shared the very interesting history of Amsterdam in a way that brought it to life as we passed the many unique buildings and boats. All in all, very happy that we decided to book this tour and would definitely recommend - Will and Daisy
