Unforgettable experience - Visiting Amsterdam with my wife, we decided to take the cruise and canal tour with Boatamsterdam.com from the opera balet. The experience was memorable and exceptional thanks to Michel and Tomas! I can only recommend and again thank you to the whole team.

Huge - It was really amazing. The city seen from the canals is worth it. It gives another perspective (I want to become Dutch). The guide was great, it gives great anecdotes

Top recommendation - Fantastic tour: the canal, the views, drinks... But the soul of the tour was our guide Michel and the captain! Very kids friendly, this was our favorite part of the trip.

Great view, great guide! - We wanted a smaller open boat with a good guide and that’s exactly what we got. Tommy and Michel are great, giving a good mix of history, anecdotes and jokes. The boat was clean and comfortable. Thanks Tommy for getting a great view of the elephants, giraffes and zebras!

Lovely experience - We had a very private cruise with only a few people and we were all well taken care of with umbrellas shielding us from the rain. My son even got a moment to practice steering the ship, which he loved :)

Brilliant Boat Tour, Really Personal & Memorable - Flores was an amazing guide especially as it was his first time, his English was incredible and his knowledge and anecdotes about Amsterdam made it a unique trip . Michel was hilarious and made it so much fun. Robby was The Stig of the Amstel. Really recommend this tour.

No communication - I got to the meeting point and there was no one there. I paid money to get to the meeting point as I was staying far away, and I didn’t even get to do the cruise. I tried contacting the tour operator via the provided number, and no one answered. Waiting for a refund.
