Gert was amazing !!! We had the most beautiful and interesting canal tour - highly recommend! We learned so much and his stories were great !
The boat ride was very informative mixed with lots of silly jokes in between. I went solo but the other guests were warm and friendly, making it a fond memory for my first trip to Amsterdam. The guide Olaf was very knowledgeable and friendly, offered drinks and any refills during the ride. He was very skilled with his driving abilities. I thought two hours would be too long but it was the perfect amount of time. I boarded at 5pm and then it ended around 7pm. We were able to see apart of the tour in the sunset to when it became dark and the beautiful lights began to show. Highly recommend this tour. Very much worth the experience, I promise!
The tour was absolutely great. For the price we paid we got our moneys worth with the sights and the drinks and snacks. Robert our guide was very kind and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend.
Robert was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide. Would recommend to others as the ideal option for any day of the year.
Our guide Gert was informed, amusing and a genial host. He pitched the tour perfectly for a small international group. He even spoke Irish!
Quite the experience! Our 2-hr sunset 🌇 canal cruise provided hospitality, adventure, and relaxation. With so many Canal Cruise companies, we asked our W.A. Concierge for a recommendation - this led us to MARC, our native born Amsterdam guide. His enthusiasm and passion for Amsterdam guided the educational tour. Highly recommend Marc 👌🏻 ... It was 5 🌟 service, an extended tour, good wine and a drop-off at our hotel doorstep ... (since we were conveniently floating by)
Clare’s tour was informative, interesting, and very moving. We were all enthralled with her presentation, and our visit to the Anne Frank house was even more meaningful with the background Clare provided. She was an excellent guide!
We loved it ! Highly recommend . We enjoyed the unique stories about Amsterdam that you can’t find in tour books. On top of that, snacks and drinks were absolutely super!
A lot of good information.. Robert was excellent. We had a good group from different places. The snacks and drinks were good.
We had an amazing canal cruise through Amsterdam with Sven from Voyage! Sven was incredibly friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and personal. He shared great stories about Amsterdam and its canals while creating a fun atmosphere on board. A fantastic way to see the city from the water. Highly recommended! Thanks Sven for a great experience!
Robert was so professional, fun and very informative. He made the experience absolutely amazing.
I believe our guide's name is spelt Joris, forgive me if I got the spelling incorrect. Joris was a fantastic guide, with a lot of knowledge and insights about the canals and Amsterdam. Joris also encourages interactions and dialogues and go about the cruise in a very relaxed pace. Highly recommended. Note that the location of boarding is across the road from a restaurant. There is no signage there indicating canal cruise boarding. Somehow it works 😄
Fantastic experience. Robert was superb… funny, informative, knowledgable. Lovely way to spend a few hours enjoying the canals of Amsterdam.
A brilliant way to see and learn about the city. Our host / guide, Robert, was brilliant - very knowledgeable and lots of fun. Happy to recommend to anyone.
Beautiful, relaxing ride on the canal. Guide was informative and amusing. Food and wine tasty! Very relaxing to see so much of Amsterdam from the canals.
Nice boat, excellent guide. Good snacks and drinks. Great way to see the city .
We did a 6pm 2-hour cruise and it was a fabulous way to begin our stay in Amsterdam. We paid for the drinks ahead of time. The red wine was delicious (they also offered beer and soft drinks) and the little charcuterie board for each group was a nice touch. Our guide was amazing! Engaging, knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. We asked a lot of questions because we genuinely wanted to learn about the city, culture and canal system. I would recommend this cruise to anyone!
Ia amazing trip , boat is clean safe , space to be comfortable, have drinks snacks , boat is charming and have space to keep sun or not , if rain too .capitan is polite and friendly.
It was a relaxing and great way to get to see the city. It was fun tasting different wines. The skipper felt like a friend by the end.
We enjoyed our 2 he canal trip. Can't remember the drivers name, but he knew the boat very well. Well recommended. George, Albert, Anna & Helen.
Wonderful relaxing boat tour in the canals and waterways! Boat is beautiful, wonderful selection of beverages and snacks! Guide/captain provided interesting commentary, skillful handling of the boat and sometimes heavy traffic thru this exciting city! Would gladly travel with this company again!
Robert was amazing and informative. He was nice and patient. A fun vibe and well worth the money! You get to see the whole City!
It was a great way to experience Amsterdam. The boat was comfortable. Covered if it rained. The guide Juris was fun and informative. We did drinks and food. Maybe a few more nibbles would have been good.
Fantastic cruise with the most knowledgeable guide - really the highlight of our trip cruising around the canals and learning the history of the city. Drink selection and snacks was perfect
Taking this experience in the evening was so amazing. The captain was experienced and well versed & able to share history & engaged the passengers. The food & drink options were excellent.
It was an incredible experience- so enjoyable. The captain was so knowledgeable and personable. I am so glad we did it,
Experience was fabulous. Our guide Abel was amazing. Super kind and quick to fill drinks while keeping the tour interesting. 2 hrs is the way to go. I did the 7-9pm and it was wonderful. Highly recommended
We had a marvelous time - the group size was perfect- not too big but also no too small. The canals are gorgeous and our guide pointed out everything from historic architecture to current Dutch culture. Thank you- it made our last night of our vacation in the Netherlands special!
The ride itself was good, as well as the snacks and food. The problem was that the driver/guide did not give a tour. He just talked about what brought him to Amsterdam etc. I don’t mind them making it personal but there was NO guide at all. He didn’t point out interest locations. That was the point of doing this tour. Our time was limited in the city and unfortunately I know we missed a lot. Disappointing.
Sven was fun and knowledgeable. We needed a laid back way to get through jet lag and the Sven did it all and bartended. Very enjoyable.
A high end, laid back cruise with a knowledgeable skipper/waiter/guide named Abel. Really interesting to listen to and he expertly answered all our questions. Great, curated drinks list. A lovely way to start the evening and a great intro to the city.
Our morning tour with Robert was fantastic! We really enjoyed our time - 2 hours was perfect. Robert made sure to point out all the landmarks we passed & had a wealth of Dutch knowledge. He was also very willing to answer any questions we had in general. Would highly recommend this tour. Worth the price paid.
Abel was extremely knowledgeable and the drinks and snacks were great. It was a wonderful way to learn the history and see the sites of Amsterdam.
The captain was very knowledgeable and fun! It was very relaxing to go through all the canals and learning about the city. The snacks and drinks were included, however the drink offered for free was water. Other beverages are available and a menu is provided with prices.
Our captain, Robert, was right on time. He was competent, kowledgeable and able to answer all questions. We got the thorough tour of the boat with all the snacks and libations and besides pointng out sites along hte way, he was entertaining and interesting. We really enjoyed the trip.
Sven was a wonderful tour guide and captain! I would recommend this boat tour to anyone, especially if you’re looking for a more personal experience. Everyone on our boat was lovely. It was also nice to be able to relax and take in the sites with wine/beer options and snacks and I appreciated that everyone drank responsibly.
Great operation. Fun captain. Best way to see the city. The whole group highly recommends the experience.
Had an awesome canal tour with Abel – probably the best guide in the world! Super knowledgeable, funny, and always making sure everyone’s glass was topped up. A genuinely friendly guy, and the boat was fantastic too. If you’re visiting Amsterdam, this is an absolute must-do. Highly recommended!
Abel was great!!! Great tour. Great snacks.
Julika at the Voyage office was so kind and patient helping us choose a tour for our family, including our adult special needs son who was being less than flexible.
The boat was well appointed and well maintained. The staff at booking were helpful in choosing which cruise was right for us. The captain was friendly and knowledgeable.
It was worth the price Charming Skipper. Sven Clean boat & good snacks
What an amazing experience! We were able to see the lights on the 9:00 tour and our guide was very informative. We will definitely be recommending this tour to anyone visiting Amsterdam.
Delightful small group experience on an historic canal boat. The owner/captain was very engaging with many interesting stories that added depth to what we were seeing. Because the boat is smaller than those impersonal large crafts, he could maneuver farther and into areas not typically visited. We even got a view of the zoo!!! The included charcuterie board was plentiful and delicious. Wine was extra. Only recommendation would be to pay by the glass rather than the flat up charge.
Most excellent canal tour! Eli was a great skipper – very funny and super knowledgeable! 12/10
The best part about our cruise was Abel, great guide ! We had so much fun
Sven was an incredible skipper! He was very welcoming, knowledgeable, and upbeat! You could tell how much he loved leading the tour, and it made all of us aboard have an even better experience. It was a smaller, more intimate setting than the huge boats you often see in the canals. It was a wonderful way to see the city and learn more about the history of Amsterdam. The food and drinks were an additional perk!! Would highly recommend booking with Voyage!!!
Really enjoyed this relaxing tour. Our guide was charming and informative. The beverages and snacks were great - highly recommend this tour.
Great tour, very educational with the help of a friendly and very knowledgable Voyage pilot/guide. Learnt more about Amsterdam and its history during this 2 hour tour than in all previous visits. This was the first time we did the tour. Will do it again with friends next visit.
