Sanne was amazing! Fabulous experience. We would highly recommend Sanne for kids of all ages. We went to so many canals!

It was rainy most of the time we were here and so we were so happy to find a covered boat tour. Skipper JP was great! Friendly and informative. So glad to have done this tour!

Captain Oliver was amazing! So much info and history! We got to see multiple historical places and got a personal tour of the city as well. Great experience!

Great fun. Great guide. Cold after dark in October, but many blankets available. Lots of beer, wine and snacks. Highly recommend this activity. The captain answered our many many questions about life in Amsterdam, not just the canals. He was also very funny.

The crew was excellent and we learned a lot about the city. This cruise takes you through the canals and gives you an excellent view of the surrounding buildings and waterways. Highly recommend!

Mark gave our group a great overview of the city and the canal system. We were able to experience various aspects of the waterways in a nice leisurely pace.

Lovely relaxing tour with Mark. Highly recommend this tour as a first stop in Amsterdam in order to get the most out of your visit.
- Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
- Service animals allowed
- Public transportation options are available nearby
- Suitable for all physical fitness levels
- Due a lot of traffic at the dock, I can't wait more than 5 minutes. Please make sure you are at the dock 10 minutes before departure.
- A fairly big step needs to be taken to get in the boat. Of course we will assist you.
- Beware all my boats are open. So when it rains, you can get wet. But rebooking with rain is always possible
- I always try to give the best tour possible (5*). But in rare occasion things don't go as you and me would like. Please let me know asap. Either direct or send me an email of text. I will contact you.
- The tour is a historical canal cruise, it is not a booze cruise. So if you are looking for a bachelor party boat or any other booze cruise, this is not the cruise for you.
- Captain Jack is collaboration between friends. Captain Jack is not himself on the boat.
- Due Health regulations (regarding food) animals are not allowed (service animals excluded).
