Wonderful Captain and Cruise! - Our captain was very personable, grew up in Amsterdam and was a wealth of knowledge. The boat and its history meant a lot to him. It was covered, warm and had an open small bar! Would highly recommend!

The best canal tour in Amsterdam. - The evening canal cruise with Captain Dave was outstanding! Captain Dave was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer our questions about Amsterdam. He also provided recommendations on where to eat and visit while we were in Amsterdam. Dave was also very fun and humorous, which made the canal tour even more enjoyable. The tour boat was awesome! It's a classic boat that has been converted to electric power so it was very quiet and had no fuel or exhaust smell. It was one of the only tour boats we found that actually had a restroom on board. The boat was heated, had large windows that didn't obstruct the view but kept you warm, and also slid down so it was felt like the open air boats when the weather cooperated. There is also an outdoor area with seating and a table which was nice and private. They also provided alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and snacks for no cost. My girlfriend and I were both really impressed with Dave and the canal tour, and plan to return later this month for the evening light tour.

Best Canal Tour in Amsterdam - We did this tour in 2021 and loved it so much that we decided to try the evening version. Communication from Captain Dave was wonderful. Make sure to follow the directions that you’re given in terms of finding the location. We enjoyed seeing the sights on the canals and found Hassan to be a very friendly and knowledgeable guide/captain. Snacks and drinks are provided and make the atmosphere feel more cozy on the boat. We highly recommend this tour!

Fun & Informative, highly recommend, - I only have positive things to say about our experience. Captain Dave was informative, funny, and was able to tolerate our group (which I must admit, we were a little rowdy). We chose the unlimited drinks, and we never ran short. There was a variety of beer, wine, and I believe gin as well. He also provided us with chips, nuts, water and other non alcoholic options. The boat itself was beautiful, well kept and comfortable. You had the choice to stay learn about the history of the city with Captain Dave, or to sit in the back and chat with other guests. He even let us jump into the canal, as long as we were respectful.

Exactly what we had hoped for! - I made an error scheduling the tour and not only was it handled with grace, they also made sure I got on a tour later on in the day. Also, the actual tour was terrific. Hassan, our guide, provided the exact experience my wife and I were looking for and we could not be any more please!
