Amsterdam from the Canals - An Excellent Experience!! - The tour was excellent from all perspectives. The communication in advance after making the reservation was excellent! The meeting point was easy to find, the boat and the skipper were awesome (Easter Morning Cruise). I have to remark that the boats used by Pure Boat are significantly nicer than most of the other tour boats you see in the canals. The highlight was the city...but really...the city the way our guide Virginia shared it with us. She was remarkable with interesting knowledge of the city, great story telling energy, and super engaging to all on the tour! Although there are cheaper tours out there, I think the pricing was a good value for the quality of the tour.

Brilliant canal cruise, felt very personal and special - Thoroughly enjoyed this tour - lots of informative history of Amsterdam as well as titbits from a local resident (Stuart). The route was lovely, it was great to be able to escape the bigger boats and go down canals that they couldn’t fit into. The restored boat was beautiful and very comfortable, the apple pie was delicious and having the drinks made it feel quite special. I would definitely recommend this canal cruise to others.

Extremely enjoyable and comfortable way to see Amsterdam. - It was a totally enjoyable way to see Amsterdam. The boat size was just right to get spectacular views of this UNESCO city while cruising along its famous canals, seating was cushy and comfortable, there was a large variety of drinks, the apple pie was delicious, and maybe best of all, Captain John was entertaining, witty, knowledgeable, and full of interesting information about the history and culture of Amsterdam. I highly recommend Captain John and this canal cruise.

Perfect - As with every trip I try do as much research as I can and every place I looked Pure Boats Amsterdam was the best recommendation for a tour along the canal. So I booked it quite lastinute for a Monday at 11am. Luckily before we boarded a shower of rain had passed and it was quite sunny and warm when Bert welcomed us aboard.  This was an hour and a half cruise along the canals of Amsterdam which Bert nagivated with ease all the while chatting and answering any questions along the way. We also got served delicious apple pie as well as 2 drinks (alcoholic or non alcoholic). It was such a fabulous way to spend a morning touring Amsterdam from the water. Little tit bits of history and information on the wonderful city made it very worthwhile. My only regret is I didn't book a longer tour but it's top of my list next time certainly!

First Class Canal Cruise - A Pure Boats morning cruise on the Amsterdam canals with Captain Greets John at the wheel are a first-class experience. The classic wooden boat was beautiful and quite comfortable with the small group aboard. With fresh tulips and nice tableware adorning the tables, a large selection of premium beverages and the most delicious apple tart with whip cream were offered. We journeyed on the less-traveled, scenic canals, and our captain was a wonderful guide/host, pointing out interesting sites and providing entertaining commentary. It was a perfect way to relax and see Amsterdam and absolutely one of our favorite activities during our 3.5 week stay in Europe.

VIP Experience - What a delightful trip! The Pure Boats tour was a VIP experience—intelligent, interesting guide; gorgeous boat; delicious snacks and drinks; and wonderful recommendations from our captain. Our flight was delayed, and Pure Boats was quick to accommodate our schedule change without charge. We will book this tour again if we visit Amsterdam in the future. Highly recommended!
