“We had the loveliest time on our 7pm canal cruise with Fokko. He’s charming, funny, knowledgeable, and authentic. He brought the whole small group together for a 90 minute experience with memories to last a lifetime. We also had a lot of fun playing boat cocktail makers with the well-stocked open bar. Delightful tour through and through.”

“Was super fun. Boat owners were very very nice and it wasn’t even expensive. Had a blast!”

“Everything was amazing. Great service from Thijs and Noa, they were very helpful and nice.”

“Thijs and Noah was amazing instructors”

“A wonderful way to see the city and great for birding! Carlos & Carla we're amazing guides!”

“Fantastische rondvaart zoals je nog nooit hebt beleefd! Bijzonder hoe je vaart door het Amsterdam van een paar eeuwen geleden. En zet je je VR bril weer af, dan zie je hoe het er nú op die plek uitziet. Unieke ervaring, superknap gemaakt en superleuk gedaan! Wij zijn fan!!”

“Took the ultimate cruise and are so happy we did. Misha was a funny, informative and overall a very entertaining guide. The sights were amazing from the canal. He also pointed out sights that were great to see at night under lights too. Definitely worth the price do your self a favor and take the trip. Hopefully he will be your guide to.”

“Excellent tour with Captain Joao. He was very knowledgeable and patient with my children. The tour group was small, about 10 people. Open air boat in good condition. Drinks not included but plenty available for purchase. Would definitely go again!”

“Experiência fantástica com a Amsterdam Boat Adventures! O passeio pelos canais foi muito agradável, o barco era confortável e o ambiente excelente. Mas o grande destaque foi, sem dúvida, o nosso guia, João. Extremamente simpático, divertido e muito conhecedor da história e cultura de Amesterdão assim como muitos outros temas!. Tornou todo o passeio muito mais interessante e envolvente, criando um ambiente descontraído do início ao fim. Um autentico ChatGPT em pessoa 😲 Recomendo totalmente esta experiência a quem visitar Amesterdão!”

“Schöne Tour im offenen Boot mit Lili & Erwin”

“Excellent experience with Prestige Boats Amsterdam. This has been the highlight of our trip so far. Great way to see the city and get a better sense of the layout. Service was top notch, relaxed, and quite informative at the same time. Our captain was very professional and kind (and that is despite my rambunctious toddler trying to run everywhere). Very comfortable boat as well. It's a beautifully restored Venetian taxi boat from 1971; the electric engine is super quiet and adds to the quality of the experience.”

“We were lucky to go out on the Sophie with Fons as our captain. Most us were very interested in hearing about some history on the cruise and Fons was a wealth of information. He answered all our weird and random questions and pointed out all sorts of interesting things along the way of the cruise. He gave us a choice of preferred routes at the beginning and I really felt like we had been given a personalised experience rather than the bog standard cruises filled with people you see along the canals. The Sophie was a lovely boat and there was room for all of us out front - or under cover if you wanted. There was a well stocked open bar and snacks. The max allowed for the boat is 12 people - so it felt very comfortable and you could get up and move around if you wanted. There is also a bathroom on the boat, so no stress in regards to that need either! Incredibly enjoyable way to spend 90+ min of your time in Amsterdam. We live in Amsterdam and brought guests with us as something to do with them when they were visiting. I expect we will do this as a "must do" for future guests as well. Thank you Fons! *Would also like to add that I had to change my booking day and they were easy to communicate with, quick to respond and made the change for me without any fuss. Great experience all around.”

“This was my second time with Pure Boats, and I absolutely love it. It’s worth every penny. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience and the love you put into every ride — you truly make people fall in love with Amsterdam.”

“Πολύ όμορφη εμπειρία!”

“Boatboys Amsterdam made our wedding day extra special with the wonderful high tea aboard their classic luxury boat, Ritz. The crew always made sure everyone was comfortable and well taken care of throughout the cruise. They also made stops at several iconic Amsterdam landmarks, making the experience not only enjoyable but also informative. Overall, our cruise with them was smooth, relaxing, and truly memorable. We definitely recommend Boatboys Amsterdam for anyone looking to enjoy a lovely cruise along the canals of Amsterdam.”

“Het was erg leuk en leerzaam. Zeker ook voor kinderen vanaf ongeveer 10 jaar! Vriendelijke en gastvrije mensen. We hebben genoten!”

“Wonderful experience! The 2 hour dinner cruise went too quickly. Highly recommend.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — 10 stars out of 5 I lived in Amsterdam many years ago and have done practically everything this city has to offer, including more than five canal cruises on the big tour boats. Nothing — and I mean nothing — compares to this experience. This is, by far, the number one thing to do in Amsterdam. My daughter Dacey and I were fortunate enough to have Vanessa, the owner herself, take us through the canals. The boat is wonderfully intimate, worlds apart from the crowded larger boats. With old French music playing softly in the background and truly five-star food, it felt less like a tour and more like being welcomed aboard by a friend who happens to know every canal and its stories. And we clearly weren't the only ones who noticed how special it was — people on the bigger boats kept pointing our boat out to their friends as we glided past. Jealousy was spread all over the water, and honestly, I understood them completely. Vanessa's warmth and knowledge made an already beautiful evening unforgettable. Of all my days in Amsterdam — and there have been many — this one with my daughter was among the most special. If you're debating between this and one of the big canal boats: don't......... Book this.”
