Stunning Views and the audio commentary is better than most tours!
Worst place, tone deaf ppl. Very rude staff and extremely weird cruise captain. In the name of “Guided tour” all I remember hearing was how the outskirts of Amsterdam were build for poor, but it was place of rich now. So tone deaf thag he mentioned 4 times how the justice building basement was built to “store slaves” but now it is just normal jail. He also clarified 2 times that Dutch used to deal in Slaves selling and buying but how they never used ( hence they are not to be blamed for slaverly). I was dumbstruck by listing to all this in 2023, like how is this company even allowing this person to be guide!!!
Lovely low effort, easy peazy canal tour option. They have partnership with Heineken so you can get the brewery tour plus canal tour package. Honestly don’t expect you will learn a whole bunch on the tour. It’s nice to just cruise through the canals with a Heineken in hand and enjoy some Amsterdam summer breeze. (It’s nice that unlike Venice, the canals here don’t smell like sewer)
Was surprised to learn that the boat house permit can be a couple millions bucks but the boat house itself would be half a mil. Apparently no more permit will be issued.

Good boat tour. I’m so glad they had the uncovered sitting on the back, I loved being there instead of inside under the enclosure. Next time I’d bring my own headphones, I’m glad they provide some but they are uncomfortable and my kids couldn’t wear them. There is a bathroom on the boat which I’m grateful for with kids. They had cute little coloring packs for the kids which was also great. Bring your own snacks on the boat or you can buy them them, ok price. Glad we took the tour.
It was really nice experience in the Amstel river of Amsterdam. The cost of Ticket is around 20 euros and time is around 1.30 h. Audio guide is available in all languages (24).
Very nice boat, great captain, polite service. We saw a lot in a little time. Recommended for anyone touring the city.
I highly recommend taking one of these at night. It can be a little chilly, but as long as you dress appropriately you will be fine and comfortable. I caught one close to the RL district and it took us all throughout the canals of Amsterdam. I paid the extra for drinks on the cruise and I will say it's definitely worth it. The drinks are self serve, so you definitely get your money's worth, if not more. So I would definitely recommend paying the extra for drinks.
