“We booked a canal pride boat experience through Get Your Guide with Starboard Boats. The map location sent to by Get Your Guide was incorrect today. We paid almost $400 usd for this and we never got to experience it. After thinking about this for a little bit I think both companies share equal responsibility for the poor communication about the location today. After reading some reviews about Starboard I would say that they seem like a good company. I just wanted to warn people about booking any Amsterdam Pride canal boat VIP experiences through them. If I had seen a review like this I would have booked with a different company.”

“It was well worth it, in summer choose to do the tour after 6pm, it will still be very light out but the sun will have gone down already. An hour-long tour through several canals of Amsterdam.”

“So many options to choose from in Amsterdam but we enjoyed this one. It was extremely hot this day but they had water on board and umbrellas to help. We did the unlimited drinks and it was worth it as we both enjoyed 3 beers. It was cool to see the city by boat. Our skipper (forgetting her name) and guide (Stella) were great. Stella is from the states but has been living in Amsterdam a few years now and knew a lot about the city. It was only us and another group of 2 so it was basically a private ride which was really cool as well.”

“Excellent experience. Edward was an awesome guide, that not only taught us about the city but knew how to answer all of the other questions we had about the city - a well read, funny and careful individual. Thank you! Kees is an amazing skipper who was also calm and collected even with our kids playing around the boat. He also helped 2 passengers get off to make it to an appointment they had”
