We had a wonderful cruise along the canals of Amsterdam with our host Esmee and captain Willem. Setting off from Anne Frank House (they also have a launch point near Centraal Station), there were ten on board as we gently sailed the waters for an hour with unlimited drinks (wine, beers, soft drinks) in our ticket price. Warm and knowledgeable hosts, conveniently located, not overcrowded at all - a great alternative to the bigger and more established canal tour operators. Cannot recommend more highly.

I had an amazing experience on the open boat tour in Amsterdam. Exploring the canals from the water is simply magical. I especially want to highlight Fernanda and Jewel, who were incredibly kind throughout the tour. Their friendliness, warmth, and great energy truly made the experience exceptional and memorable. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the city its a perfect way to enjoy Amsterdam!

I took the Lovely Cruise on the 7th, departing from the Anne Frank House, and it was an amazing experience. Brenda, our captain, was incredibly kind and professional, providing very clear and interesting explanations throughout the tour. You could really tell she was highly experienced navigating the boat, which made the whole ride feel smooth and enjoyable. I absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it!

Lovely Cruises is het summum onder de open cruises. Je hebt een geweldige schipper en een leuke host die je alles van Amsterdam vertellen. De boten zijn brandnieuw en varen geweldig, de bocht van de brouwersgracht naar de sluis doen ze als enige in 1 keer Plus lekker geborreld voor een fijne prijs!! Een aanrader..

Heerlijke rondvaart met een sloep door de Amsterdamse grachten. Schipper Omar voer ontspannen en vakkundig, terwijl host Rick zorgde voor een fijne sfeer en lekkere Aperol spritz. Mooie route langs de Dansende huisjes en de 7 bruggetjes echt een aanrader voor een gezellige en ontspannen ervaring op het water.
