Was a perfect romantic outing. There were flowers and a good cheeseboard the guide did a great job had a very relaxed feel.
We took a private canal cruise, and it was completely worth it! The ride was so beautiful and romantic. We had the best time and would recommend to anyone who would like a more private experience!
My husband and I took a 45 minute private canal cruise with our skipper Rocco. We were welcomed onboard with an array of beverages, snacks and a blanket to cuddle up in. Our skipper was very knowledgeable and shared stories of the canals history as we passed landmarks. He also took lovely pictures for us. My only regret was not doing the full 90 minute cruise so I recommend planning the extra time to do so.
The romantic private canal was the highlight of our visit! We had a wonderful time and it was so romantic!
Lovely experience! Full of colors and surprises, the city’s history brought to life by the magic of the canals. A trip we will remember dearly !
Our captain was extremely friendly and informative. He shared a lot of knowledge about the architecture and history of Amsterdam. The snacks were great. We would highly recommend this tour
This cruise is perfect for couples looking to escape the crowds and soak in the romance of the city in a relaxed, memorable way. Whether it’s your first visit to Amsterdam or a special anniversary, this is an experience that captures the city’s beauty and soul like nothing else. Opt for the roses and bottle of champagne - the perfect added touch. And, book 90 minutes as anything shorter just won’t be enough. Recommend this 100%
Great way to see Amsterdam! The cheese and snacks were also delicious, and it was great to learn more about the city from a local.
This was my second time taking this tour. We enjoyed this private and relaxing tour. The snacks are great. It’s a great way to see the canals, learn about Amsterdam, and get away from the crowds.
We enjoyed this Romantic Private Boat Tour in Amsterdam. It was the perfect ending to our 21 day tour of Europe. Rocco was very good at explaining all that we were seeing and in answering all of our questions. Our ride was relaxing and full of beautiful sights. Thank you Rocco!
It is amazing. You learn so much about the city. And seeing the city from the canal was breath taking
Great tour despite bad weather. Lovely snacks and Prosecco. Our guide was very friendly and shared some history of the city.
My husband and I were in Amsterdam celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. I wanted to surprise him with a special gift that could not be replicated and I decided on an evening canal tour. I searched endlessly in an attempt to find the “perfect” experience. And I did! There are many many companies offering every type of cruise and it can be overwhelming trying to decide what was the best option for us. Ultimately I decided the Romantic Amsterdam tour was the perfect combination of a tour and refreshments. We enjoyed the 90 minute cruise complete with snacks and a bottle of our favorite champagne and wonderful commentary and conversation with our captain. We were able to arrange for pick up and return at our hotel which made the evening more enjoyable. Booking was easy and communication with the company was excellent. This was a highlight of our week in Amsterdam (and the perfect weather!) Thank you for the wonderful experience and memory.
Our captain was amazing... very friendly, knowledgable and piloted the boat expertly! Would recommend this romantic trip to any couple wanting to spoil yourself - my wife treated me for my birthday and also ordered a bottle of champagne to make this super special!
Amsterdam is an amazing city, very vibrant and something for everyone! Very romantic with an abundance of museums, eateries and places to have a drink, and of course if you want to visit a coffee shop there's plenty of them to choose from.
Our experience with the Canal Cruise was exceptional. I booked a 45 minute session to celebrate a two-year anniversary with my girlfriend and we were immediately greeted with Valentijn Dirk’s warmth and positivity. The setup was comfortable (blankets and pillows were provided) and we were given the perfect amount of snacks to munch on during our cruise, but it was Valentijn who really made the experience one to remember. He shared so many interesting stories about the rich history and culture of Amsterdam, while also very intentionally creating opportunities for my girlfriend and I to connect and bond more deeply. He has a knack for storytelling and inspired us with such authentic and joyful energy. Highly recommend!
I booked the private canal cruise for my husbands 30th birthday while we were in Amsterdam and it was definitely the highlight of our trip. Our driver “Joe” was brilliant, he was extremely polite and an absolute pleasure to be around. The whole experience was excellent and I would 100% recommend to everyone
We had the best time on our canal ride. Our boat captain was so kind and knowledgeable. He made sure that we were completely comfortable (dry and warm), and provided us with the romantic history of the Amsterdam bridges. We also ordered a bottle of champagne which made the cruise even more enjoyable. Highly recommend.
Amazing experience; very romantic and also informative. I highly recommend it. We loved the privacy and personal attention
We had a spectacular evening enjoying the views of Amsterdam from the canals. Normally I get motion sick on boats but because it was just us in the boat and the river/canal is so smooth I felt fine, even after some drinking. The guide was incredibly friendly and informative. My wife peppered him with many questions and he was happy to answer them all. But when we wanted to just sit and enjoy each other and Amsterdam, he would play soft music without us even asking. He had a great understanding of the vibe we wanted. 90 minutes was a great amount of time, especially around sunset so we could get lots of pictures from the boat during the golden hour. The guide could tell us the history of a lot of the buildings and local architecture. There were so many wonderful snacks too. Overall I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.
Mr valentine who was our operator is a very soft spoken guy. We really liked our smooth ride. We would like that we can have same operator again when we book again.
Great tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and welcoming, we really enjoyed the experience. Absolutely recommend!
Such an amazing experience. Deep is so nice and knows a lot about amsterdam. I really recommend this tour
What a delightful boat ride last night. Thank you for the snacks and champagne. That was a kind and thoughtful gesture. It was so lovely seeing the lights come on for the bridges. (Much better doing a night ride instead of at 17:00). Hendrick was charming. Enjoyed the music and blankets to keep warm.
Henrik, our skipper was so kind and knowledgeable about Amsterdam, the canals and really made us feel so welcome. He created such a memorable experience for us that wasn’t only super romantic, but interesting and fun. Highly recommend.
Great day very personal and both myself and my partner enjoyed the day. Definitely must do when here
This was the most incredible experience. I surprised my now-girlfriend with this boat ride and asked her to be my girlfriend while on the boat. We were crying the whole time. The tour guide was so kind and supportive. He took photos of us, shared romantic stories, played soft music, and gave us plenty of privacy. I paid extra for roses and Polaroid pictures, which I definitely recommend to make it even more romantic. There were snacks and blankets provided. This tour is worth every penny! It was our first time visiting Amsterdam and I would highly recommend booking this private tour for all couples.
We enjoyed our canal tour with Valentine Dirk so much! He was extremely knowledgeable and very sweet! The boat was beautiful and prepared in case rained! I was confused why our tour was so much more expensive than the advertised price and disappointed in the small bottle of Prosecco! Price was my only complaint as it seemed twice the advertised price! Other than that, the experience was lovely!
João did a wonderful job taking us through Amsterdam, giving the perfect amount of information and making our cruise unforgettable. The boat was nicely decorated, the snacks and the champagne were delicious. We highly recommend this over a "normal" tour with a boat full of other tourists. It was a very nice setting. Thanks for the nice experience!
Great tour of Amsterdam from the water! Tour is not just for young love, but older couples, as well. We can highly recommend the tour.
João (Joe) was absolutely amazing! He made our experience completely one of a kind. His knowledge of Amsterdam and passion for making his guests feel welcomed and comfortable! He told many stories of romance, history, and philosophy. It made for the perfect moment to propose to my girlfriend. He was fantastic!
When i started planning our engagement i was fortunate enough to find Rocco, Linda and all the team of Romantic Amsterdam Tour. From the initial enquiry to the day itself they made sure everything was perfect and i can’t thank them enough. perfect memories. I decided to pay for the additional services of a photographer and i was so glad i did as he was brilliant.
Rocco was amazing in helping me set up a romantic surprise proposal! He was able to guide me with suggestions that fit my special need, including bringing our dog for the special occasion! All of this was done on short notice and discreetly so it was all a surprise until the moment I got down on my knee!! Not only was Rocco amazing but our tour guide, Tallin (hope I m spelling it right), was amazing today! He went along with plan perfectly set up my cue perfectly as well! This was an experience me and my now fiance will never forget! If you are looking for a special romantic occasion these are the people to connect with in Amsterdam!!
Deep, our captain, was lovely and was full of interesting stories and facts about the city. The provided refreshments were lovely and the atmosphere on board was very peaceful. The organisers asked us to switch to an earlier time slot and upgraded us to a large bottle of prosecco as a thank you. Definitely recommend!
Talking to our guide who was very friendly and personable. He was knowledgable and we loved hearing about the history of the canals.
Our guide was wonderful and very personable. So glad we had plastic cover for the open areas and a covered top…perfect for those cold, rainy days….which we had on the day of our tour! My husband loved the snacks!
We had a fun trip with a lovely guide. The stories were tailored to our interest, even involving children of different ages. I can only recommend it.
Great way to spend the afternoon. Loved the tour and a great way to see the city from the waterways. Nice way to escape the crowds too.
Very romantic hour long private boat cruise. Definitely recommend this for couples. Boat was decorated very well and had Prosecco and drinks/snacks as well included. Heated seats were a plus. Thanks for a memorable evening!
Was an amazing experience, even though the weather wasn’t great we couldn’t have asked for a better captain and due to us getting engaged on the tour of the canal we were offered a complementary bottle of Prosecco. Can recommend this experience enough !
Wanted to ensure my partner saw the city in the most comfortable and unique way possible--on the canal in a private boat. We had Cole as our guide, a fellow American who lives in Amsterdam and has for some time now. While I thought at first we would have a Dutch national as our guide I actually loved seeing the country through the eyes of an "ex pat." The lens really gave us a first hand perspective about how daily life operates and what differences/similarities are notable in cultures. Cole did an excellent job accomodating to requests. While the romantic tour is great, I am a history buff and really enjoyed Coles tales of the city history. The table of the boat had small snacks, some prosecco and of course, heineken on request. More than enough for a quick boat ride. Only vice is the Polaroid camera that the company uses to take pictures came out with a dark background. Otherwise we highly reccomend !
It was relaxing, the holiday wine “gluhwein” ” was delicious as well as the small treats to eat. This was a nice break in our day to unwind and see the canals.
We thoroughly enjoyed our private canal tour of the 2023 Amsterdam Festival of Lights. Captain Deep was very knowledgeable and courteous. We enjoyed the calm and informal chat that we had during the tour. He really set the scene nicely with some bites to eat, and we also had ordered a bottle of bubbly for the cruise. Thank you for creating some beautiful memories on our 1st wedding anniversary!
We decided to pay the high price tag and go for a private canal tour. At the time we didn’t know if it was going to be a waste of money, especially since there was lots of other cheaper choices around Amsterdam. We were completely wrong!. This turned out to be the most memorable thing we did on the trip and something we will always remember our entire lives!. The skipper (Dirk) was outstanding, he did everything to make sure we were comfortable and even went out of his way to show us popular viewpoints. The boat was beautiful and decorated lovely, the entire atmosphere was stunning and romantic. Since we had our tour, we have been smiling ever since and telling everyone who is thinking of going to Amsterdam to spend just a little bit extra to get the memory of a lifetime. Wrap up warm in the winter months, as the ride can get very cold, but fortunately there are blankets on board to help with this. We can’t thank Romantic Tours Amsterdam and especially Dirk enough for the best experience of our lives - it is something we will never forget
We had a truly magical and very romantic evening soaking in the sunset and unparalleled city views from the canals with the lovey Skipper Derek! The cheese and stroop waffles served were delicious and we loved the Skipper’s knowledgable insights about this beautiful city and his personal stories, too! We couldn’t recommend this tour more - an absolute treat and very, very worth the money!
We learned a lot about the bridges and canals as well as the history of Amsterdam. Rocco is a gifted storyteller and boatman. He also went above and beyond to return my cell phone when I left it on the boat. Thank you so much, Rocco!
Very nice boattrip through the canals of Amsterdam guided by a very nice captain. Recommended for each weather.
The city views from the water is amazing and the chaptain was very friendly and he gave us a lot of information about the city
