Very lovely evening on the Amsterdam canals, our skipper Scott was very knowledgeable about the city and provided great service. We did a one hour private cruise and we were dropped us off near our hotel which was very nice. Highly recommend!
Such a gorgeous way to see Amsterdam! Not only is the boat absolutely stunning the view out the boat is next level. The Boat Boys are very welcoming and we had the best experience. 10 out of 10. We will book them on our next trip to Amsterdam.
This was our second time taking a canal cruise through the Boat Boys organization. It was great to see Captain Mark again and see the city from the water. He was on time, picked us up in front of our hotel and in addition to be a nice person, was a great tour guide. Robertino is friendly and responsive. When I requested a specific champagne, he promptly provided options and it was ready and chilled on the boat for our arrival. There’s no better choice for a canal cruise than renting through the Boat Boys.
Amazing experience. Beautiful boat. The crew was very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We shared the experience with our friends and our kids. Highly recommend!!
We had the most perfect experience. Robertino was a great tour guide; he was friendly, interesting and knowledgeable. Our boat was the Ritz, which was ideal as it was raining. We had Prosecco, Heineken and nibbles which were topped up along the way. At the end of the canal tour, we got engaged. Robertino took photos, topped up our glasses and extended our boat trip. We can’t thank him enough for a magical experience. We highly recommend and would definitely book again on our return to Amsterdam. If you are considering a canal tour, this is the way to do it. Thank you again Robertino!
Canal cruise was excellent! The beautiful, 100+ year old boat was very comfortable and our tour guide was pleasant and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
The knowledge of Scott, our boat driver and his welcoming personality. It was a most delightful hour and a half in a wonderful classic wooden boat with an excellent guide and driver!
Scott was an excellent captain and host for a group of 10 friends cruising through the Amsterdam canals.
I was able to book the Tzar boat on the same day & choose a convenient pick up dock! Flexible company with a quick response time. Beautiful boat & Capt Mark made our cruise relaxed & fun. It’s nice to be able to call & speak with a human if you have a question while booking online. I will go again! Happy Cruising in style
The boat was charming and intimate. The heat was a challenge as breeze in boat is limited so best to go on cooler days. The cruise is intimate with Captain answering questions but to be clear it is NOT a history cruise by any means which we misunderstood. Unless you ask questions little information is offered about beautiful historic Amsterdam. That was a disappointment for us as the cruise was intended to be the launchpad to our visit.
What an amazing discovery! We had an absolutely amazing afternoon on the canals with Carl. The Undine is a stunning boat, and Carl is the perfect guide, fun, personable and very knowledgeable. Thank you for the delicious late lunch too! The afternoon felt like the best boat day out with a friend, rather than a business transaction. Thank you Carl for your hospitality and a memorable, fun afternoon on the canals! We will certainly be back!
The boat is truly stunning! Impeccable cabin upkeep and exquisite decor add to its charm. Joost, our driver, excelled as a gracious host, displaying remarkable kindness. We enjoyed a distinctive experience by collecting dinner from a restaurant during the journey, and the food was exceptional. The thoughtful extra touches they provided were truly remarkable. Undoubtedly, investing in this trip was absolutely worthwhile.
We had a great time, pick up was perfect, timing was adapted to meet our needs! I highly recommend :) Dima
After reading the reviews we decided to book. The private canal cruise with Captain Carl did not disappoint!!! We found the previous reviews spot on! Because of the smaller vessel we were able to venture into smaller, quieter more intimate canals! The experience was a gentle mix of leisure and luxury. Carl was very personable and professional. We loved every minute and will book again on our next trip to Amsterdam!
Excellent service, crew and lunch - funny, good guiding, lovely boat, and a really good experience - highly recommendable
Wonderful boat tour. Definitely worth it. Carl was a great host and driver. Great boat. Loved the conversation. Very professional.
Great for special occasions as it is expensive. Took an hour and a half tour with a bottle of champagne for around 400 euros. Captain was professional and didn’t say a word. Felt like we were on our own private cruise.
We had an amazing tour! The boat is beautiful inside and out, really exceeding expectations. Tour guide was excellent, really friendly and gave off chilled vibes, gave us some info while still giving us lots of space to have our own conversations. We were even dropped off at our girl at the end as it was on the way back. This trip was brilliant and we would definitely rebook. Thanks again, so worth the money.
Beautiful clean boat and a cosy atmosphere! Celebrated our friend 30 years birthday! Recommend to book longer than 60 minutes though.
Highly recommend this experience. Great advice during the booking process, lots of flexibility, high service level and an a very good cruise around the canals with a super friendly, knowledgeable captain and great food.
such a fun experience - wonderful boat and route and guide. champagne was nice and the boat was very punctual
We had such an amazing time and our captain/guide was truly a gem. Definitely Recommend to anyone thinking about taking the cruise, it is worth the money!
We really enjoyed our tour and the captain was really nice and answer all our questions we had about the buildings and city. We will be back definitely but this time with dinner on board. I really recommend that boat really well maintenez as well with outside and inside sitting. A really nice experience😀
Genuinely the best way to see Amsterdam. Our Captain Nickel, was brilliant, engaging and fun. We learned so much about the city and loved every moment, thank you Nickel!
Firstly, this is the single best oversea experience I've had. The Captain, Mark was incredibly fantastic. I proposed to my girlfriend on the private boat tour. I received excellent support and assistance throughout the process to ensure the BIG day went to plan. I'm immensely grateful to the boat boys team and the captain. I can't recommend this experience highly enough. And will definitely be visiting Amsterdam every year with my wife (Of course she said yes!), and I know exactly what experience will be top of our itinerary and with whom :).
Fantastic private trip which changed our perspective on Amsterdam completely. Joost was an amiable and informative skipper. Highly recommended
Wonderful tour and experience. The captain was knowledgeable of the city's history and showed us all the main sights. The weather was perfect to enjoy the tour and the champagne to accompany it made it the more special. Thank you!
Wow! What an amazing intimate tour of Amsterdam. Nick was our tour guide and had so many interesting facts about Amsterdam. We chose the champagne trip and it was so worth it! It was the right level of interesting facts about the city mixed with general conversations about the history of the town and our own life experiences. This is a must if you’re visiting Amsterdam. Thank you - p.s I think we’re now celebrities with the amount of people taking pictures of the beautiful boat.
Wonderful experience, the boat is very cozy and comfortable. The captain, Captain Carl, was great and shared interesting facts about the city and was very knowledgeable and answered every question we had.
Amazing experience, very calm and good music. I 100% recommend that for anyone who likes peace and to pay attention to the guide. If you want to avoid drunk kids, it’s the option to go.
Celebrated husband's birthday with family and friends on our first trip to the Netherlands. Our first stop was a private canal tour. Booked through Viator and got Pap as our guide. He was funny, friendly and very knowledgeable, he also keep the champagne glasses full. Thanks Pap, the Coopers had a great time!
Captain Carl is the best captain/host. The boat is very nice and we loved the private tour. Next time we're in Amsterdam we're gone do the dinertrip!
Thank you Carl for organising such a comfortable and luxurious tour. Your knowledge and passion of the city was great to see! The boat was very nice and authentic, also liked the bites and champagne. Made for a special few hours. We see us again with the family! BR Greg
Amazing 3 hours tour through the canals of Amsterdam and Carl definitely gets 5/5 ⭐️ for his his amusing stories. Will for sure come again next year.
I booked this canal cruise recently as a surprise for my boyfriend and it was such a wonderful evening. The boat looked brand new and felt so luxurious. Carl made the process so easy and was an excellent tour guide. I would highly recommend this experience for a group or special occasion. It definitely was a highlight of our trip!
My girlfriend and I booked a private canal cruise, and it was a highlight of our trip to Amsterdam. Carl was such a lovely guide, laidback and knowledgeable, and we learned at lot about Amsterdams history and Dutch society. The boat is beautiful and has an interesting history of its own. It's also relatively small and intimate, so we could sit close to Carl and have a conversation (instead of just listening to a guide talking). I would really recommend this cruise to couples, families or small groups who want a relaxed, fun and intimate canal cruise experience. Thank you Boatboys for a great time!
Excellent Service, sympathy, wisdom. The capital was super interesting in the explanations, simplicity and ease of getting in and out of the boat. Choose the place of collection
Everything was perfect! We had a very pleasant time, the champagne was fresh, the ride is very beautiful and the boat very nice and comfortable. We will try the experience again during a future stay in Amsterdam.
The gentleman who drove the boat was very friendly . The view and boat tour were perfect . Just recommendable, everything was great ! Thanks for the great ride !
The tour of Amsterdam was beautiful and I would definitely recommend it. The captain was great and the ride unique. Simply a must if you are in Amsterdam!
We booked the tour with champagne and were more than satisfied. Not only because the champagne tasted fantastic ;), but also because Carl always had great information about the highlights of the tour. The tour is personal, exquisite and relaxed - not like the other tourist boats, where mass instead of class applies! I would definitely book them again! Thanks again to Carl & Robertino for the great 90 minutes :).
