I really enjoyed the canal cruise! What I appreciated the most was that there wasn’t an overload of information, so I could simply relax and enjoy the beautiful views of the city. I also noticed right away that the windows were perfectly clean, which made a huge difference. My first canal cruise experience was during the Light Festival with another company, and unfortunately the windows were so dirty that I could barely see anything outside. This time, the view was crystal clear, and it made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend this cruise to others!

Cruising the canals of Amsterdam was simply an incredible experience. Getting to know this historic and art-filled city is something we should all do at least once in our lives. Looking beyond the channels I could reflect on the importance of feeling this, being here and being able to know all this is something unforgettable for me. I will definitely come back more often, and I will do the same tour through the headout! Thank you very much.

The captain was THE highlight! With his many additional comments and funny anecdotes in English, he was a big hit with my kids (teenagers) too. We learned a few things about Amsterdam that you definitely won’t find in any guidebook.

I had a wonderful experience on this canal cruise in Amsterdam. The tour was very enjoyable and a great way to see the city from a different perspective. I especially liked that it took us along the most iconic canals and that they provided headphones with an audio guide, as it made the tour much more interesting and easier to follow while we took in the most important sights. It was definitely a relaxing experience and highly recommended for anyone visiting Amsterdam.
