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

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.

Fantastic boat tour! - We had the pleasure of taking a one-hour boat tour through the beautiful canals of Amsterdam, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the very beginning, the organization was excellent. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the boat was clean and well-equipped. The tour started on time, and we were greeted with a warm welcome. The views during the ride were simply breathtaking. The canals are lined with picturesque houses, historic bridges, and lively cafés. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared interesting stories and facts about the city and its history, which made the tour even more exciting. The one-hour duration was perfect for getting a first impression of Amsterdam without it feeling too lengthy. I took many great photos and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere on the water. I highly recommend this boat tour to anyone visiting Amsterdam. It’s a fantastic way to experience the city from a different perspective while learning more about its culture and history. I would definitely come back and book this tour again!

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.

Great tour, gladly again! - The 1-hour tour of the canals of Amsterdam was and super and very entertaining. You get to see a variety of sights from the water side to face. There was no audio guide on this tour, but the nice and sympathetic captain entertained the passengers with a variety of information and anecdotes the entire time in English. Gladly again at any time!

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!!!
