1.00arrived at the meeting point - it wasn’t the correct one. We were told it was on another canal - we had to run over just in time, and the boat was definitely not the same as the photos. We were crammed onto thin benches like sardines. Booked wine and cheese, not very pleasant. We booked this trip based on the photos, and it looked to have good reviews, but it seems the reviews are for many different things. Very disappointed.
This tour was fantastic!...

5.00This tour was fantastic! We were able to book same day, which was great as we were in Amsterdam for only a day and wanted to be sure the weather would be good (it was PERFECT!). Anthony was highly knowledgeable and personable and our captain was friendly and efficient.
Don't book this tour!

1.00The seating was very uncomfortable and compact. The crew member assigning seats was very inconsistent. He assigned 3 people to a large 6-person booth and 4 large people to a small 4-person booth. The visibility from our seats was very limited. Overall, a very poor trip.
Great Experience

5.00Fabulous cruise!! Loved the staff, the boat and the flowing, unlimited Wine & Cheese! Learned so much about Amsterdam. Truly recommend this adventure!
It was an overpriced product sold through trip advisor. You get much cheaper rates once you land in Amsterdam.

5.00Had a lovely experience. Incredibly friendly and knowledgable tour operators. I highly recommend opting for the cheese and drinks option - VERY generous portion of cheese and lovely wine selection. The boat is undercover so protects you from the rain but still felt very open and airy for summertime. Very spacious too a large booth for a couple.
