Captain was great! Guide (Martin) was great, but could not hear every thing he said! 1st crowd was a little rowdy and getting on and off the boat was very difficult (no dock at our pick up). Otherwise, beautiful and relaxing!

Lovely trip around the canals. Even though it was chilly outside the glass cover, the blankets and the complementary warm drinks kept us warm and comfortable on board. Jasmine our guide and Dan the captain gave a warm friendly welcome and kept us informed and entertained throughout.
One hour of pure fun

Me and my friend had a great time, the crew is very cool. The cruise lasted about an hour, and the whole time they were telling us interesting facts about the places we were passing by, while also chatting, making jokes, and laughing. They even gave us a free drinks after my friend guessed a couple of their quiz questions correctly. I highly recommend them.
Top thing to experience in Amsterdam

Our Captain, Ronald, and tour guide, Jasmine, did a fantastic job. Very informative and friendly tour around the canals of Amsterdam. The alcoholic drinks (beer/wine) were very reasonably priced and the complementary hot drinks were very well received. Would definitely recommend!
