Fantastic canal cruise. Only 5 of us plus our Captain for the evening. This was our 1st evening in Amsterdam and Kareem was a great captain. Funny, informative, and everything was relaxed. We all laughed and really had a great time. Other boats were jam packed with people who looked bored as we past by them. Perfect way to see Amsterdam and I highly recommend you go at sunset. Free beer and wine, and soft drinks, too.

Took the 8 am tour. Absolutely amazing. We had beautiful weather and Gisela, our guide, was engaging and provided a wealth of information. We highly recommend Captain Dave’s. A great way to start our Amsterdam adventure.

Captain Jack put a lot of energy into the evening. It was a lot of fun and an interesting way to see the sights of Amsterdam. He bonded us as a group, was entertaining and informative. The group was a good vibe.

Great time on board with Jan! Very knowledgeable about all things Amsterdam, and was a great snapshot of the city via the canals. Comfy & cozy way to enjoy a couple of hours in Amsterdam.

Booked based on other reviews, would advise others to do the same. I managed somehow to mess up the booking but Dave kindly put on another boat in the evening for us, and by the sounds of it let another couple off the hook as well so we only had 4 people on the boat. I wanted a cruise where we could see the sites, have a drink but it wouldn't be full of people that just wanted a booze cruise. Our host was informative, fun and engaging throughout. Lots of local facts, history and personalisation of the story throughout. Warm inside, mulled wine, some bottles of beer, wine and snacks. I was hoping the night lights would be a little more interesting, but that's not on Captain Dave! It's still worth going regardless as the majority is about seeing Amsterdam at night and the conversation.

We all were a little surprised this wasn’t the real Dave. But Jan was the most astonishing alternative replacement. His knowledge, humour especially his experience made this one of the most unforgettable moments of our entire trip.

It was a fun way to spend our last night in Amsterdam. Boat was lovely, host made sure we had everything we needed! Though it was chilly, we decided to sit outside and had the back of the boat to ourselves. It was a perfect place to view all of the lights. The blankets they provided kept us nice & warm.

My mom and I had a great time with Tony! The boat was cozy and comfortable with the mulled wine and beer and other drinks flowing. We loved the Dutch gingerbread. My favorite part was how well Tony described the history of the canals and of Amsterdam in general. He showed us a great time and the lights were wonderful.

We learned a lot about Amsterdam from a local that you won't typically learn. Captain Dave's excursion was informative and fun. Of course, we loved seeing the sights by night and the Light Festival was beautiful.
