Amazing tour of Amsterdam - Highly recommend this tour, the captain was very knowledgeable and she provided a great tour of the canals. The tour had cheese and wines and great insights into the history of Amsterdam. This is a must if your visiting Amsterdam, the private tour is the way to go and this company did an amazing job!

A Great Way to See A Lot in a Little Amount of Time. - For our first trip to Amsterdam, we decided to take a canal trip in order to see more of the city than we'll have time to see, and I'm really glad we did. We had to reschedule our trip because of Storm Poly, and Reinhard was great about making time for us. He's every bit as personable, knowledgeable and friendly as every review says he is, and couldn't have been more wonderful. We're staying in the museum district, and he dropped us off right by the Rijksmuseum to minimize our walk back. The whole experience from start to finish was absolutely wonderful, and we can't recommend it highly enough.

Classic boat, classy tour - First of all Captain Reinhardt knows his history and his way around Amsterdam! He has also been a lot of places and had some excellent commentary to go along with a perfect 2 hour cruise on a beautifully restored boat and offering all the amenities one could expect in the way of snacks in the form of fresh local fruit, cheese, chocolate, nuts and a very wide selection of beverages! (Veuve Cliquot anyone?…. Seriously tho we just had sparkling water).
All the five star reviews are merited and I must mention also that the price, which is not for everyone, was indeed one of the most reasonable by far, of any similar tours we looked into! Given that it was just the two of us it’s an even better value at up to 8 people. Recommended without hesitation.

Entertaining Private Tour - This private boat tour was so much fun. The Captain had so many great stories and facts about Amsterdam, and was funny, too. Incredible selection of drinks and great chocolate! It was rainy and chilly outside, but the enclosed boat was cozy.

Wonderful stroll down the canal - Captain Bryan was absolutely fantastic and entertaining. He was ready for us outside of our hotel (W Amsterdam) which was great because we were literally in Amsterdam for 24 hours and the less walking the better. The boat was ready with wine and cheese plates. He gave us a lot of great information about Amsterdam, its history and culture. Our group loved it!!! would recommend! We went at sunset which was really romantic.

Extraordinary Private Canal Cruise - My fiancée and I had a thoroughly enjoyable time cruising the canals of Amsterdam with Captain Spronk! He has extraordinary knowledge about the history of Amsterdam. We loved that we cruised at a leisurely pace while having the delicious cheese, nuts, tomatoes, strawberries, chocolate and our choice of drink! The experience was well worth the price to have a lovely private cruise! We highly recommend cruising with Captain Spronk and we shall remember it with fondly as one of the highlights of our trip!!

Average. - This was good in terms of relaxing boat ride. Captain Reinhard Spronk came across as disinterested and gave facts that were historically incorrect. He only provided narrative when asked. For the cost we expected snacks and drinks which were very basic, one cheese, strawberries, cashew nuts, one bar of chocolate. We had 2 drinks each. And then charged on top of boat ride. Not good value and we felt a bit cheated.
