The guide is tremendously knowledgeable about everything in the canals. The boat holds 12 passengers and it's really nice to travel through the canals with limited people. The only thing that would have made this trip better ould if it wasn't raining. On a personal note, I misread the instructions and had it standing at the wrong place. Captain Dave and his staff work non-stop to ensure we were at the right place so we would make our cruise time.

This canal cruise was perfect! Great captain, beautiful boat, and the perfect amount of information and stories while viewing the light festival installations. It was a smaller boat which lead to a more intimate setting. A great opportunity to get away from the louder crowds and pack them in bigger boats. Would highly recommend and cruise on Captain Dave’s boat!

We had Jan as our captain for the Light Show, and he was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, answering all of our questions. There was plenty of wine and cookies for everyone, with some left over! The boat even has a bathroom, which is a big plus. Even though it was winter, the boat was fully covered and equipped with a heater. The back of the boat opens up to a deck where you can also enjoy the show from outside, though it was far too cold to do that this time. Overall, it was an excellent experience—highly recommend!

Jan was our captain, and he was amazing! He is very knowledgeable about the canals, art and architecture, and Amsterdam as a whole. He was engaging and funny, and handled the boat with aplomb. If you are in Amsterdam, do not miss Dave's Canal Cruise.

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.

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.
