Honest reviews from those who've booked their canal cruise in Amsterdam.
“Captain Attila was fantastic. Incredibly knowledgeable and had great energy. The cruise was relaxing while also allowing us to see Amsterdam from a completely different point of view and gain a new appreciation for the ingenuity that went into building this great city.”
“Great experience!!!”
Patricia Lartigue
Iconic cruise - Departure Keizersgracht 106“The perfect canal cruise! Their small boats are exponentially better than the huge ones, and not cheesy like the theme ones. If you can, book with Attila, he is a fantastic guide - deeply knowledgable and equally personable. The perfect mix of peaceful, fun, informational, and of course... beautiful.”
“My favorite boat tour in Amsterdam”
