Teun was a nice guy but I was disappointed by the lack of history and heavy focus on topics like house boats. The boat guide was silent and/or also on his phone a good bit throughout. I don’t know... it was just not what I expected at all. The views and drinks/snacks were good. For the price I paid ($50+), I had higher expectations for this tour so I am a bit sad it didn't really meet those.

Fun, engaging and great snacks. I also had an injured arm and the crew helped me on and off the boat safely and with a smile. Roland was a great captain.

Captain Tim was so lovely and fun! Recommend 100%. We felt really catered for and the tour was really interesting. Good wine too.

Captain Tim was unreal!!! The anecdotes were fabulous, as a local he really knows his city. Appreciated the feeling of inclusivity - Tim is an ally!

The trip was amazing with Captain Tim. We went on a beautiful canal ride through Amsterdam. The views were stunning, with charming bridges, historic buildings, and cozy houseboats lining the waterways. Captain Tim made the experience even better with his fun commentary and local stories, turning the ride into a perfect mix of relaxation and discovery.

Very enjoyable and informative tour with Captain Tim , would definitely recommend! Great selection of drinks and snacks onboard as well ask blankets for those colder days.

Brilliant boat tour with Captain Tim, super relaxed and good fun exploring and learning about Amsterdam, old and new along the beautiful canal network and because this tour is 1.5 hours we were able to see so much.
- 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).
Departure point
