Amazing tour with knowledgeable captain
We had an amazing experience with Nicolas and Pol from Canal Motorboats Amsterdam on Wednesday evening! We rented a boat with a captain for a 2-hour canal tour with four girlfriends to celebrate one friend’s upcoming wedding. We had such a lovely and cozy time together, and our captain, Nicolas, made the experience even more special. Along the way, he shared really interesting stories about the buildings and the history of Amsterdam in a funny and relaxed way, which we really enjoyed. The boat was beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. There were even blankets available in case we got cold, which was a lovely touch. We were also very happy that we didn’t have to steer the boat ourselves — even though it wasn’t very busy on the canals, it was wonderful to simply relax and enjoy the ride without having to pay attention to navigating. Friendly and professional staff, a top experience overall. Highly recommended — we will definitely come back!
Great tour with timon, it was amazing
Lovely way to see Amsterdam Really enjoyed this Amsterdam river cruise. A lovely, relaxed way to see the city with great views along the canals. The commentary was interesting without being overwhelming, and everything was well organised. Bob did a great job making the experience smooth and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Amsterdam.
Danique was lovely and super great captain with children ! Great explanations on Amsterdam and history. Thank you for this trip.
A really great relaxed tour around Amsterdam. The weather was good so we opted for an open boat. The skipper/guide was great, friendly and knowledgeable.
Fabulous boat tour with our Captin Merlin. Beautiful open boat, comfortable ride and sailed at a lovely pace. Very informative
The boat tour was very nice and chill. We had great weather so the boat was completely open (no roof). Thomas was a great skipper and very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend this.
Had a great tour with Eddie through the canal. It was funny and got lot of Information. We enjoyed the tour a lot. We can recommend These open boats on rainless days.
Sebastian is wonderfully entertaining; he makes it easy to fall in love with Amsterdam. And he steers the boat completely relaxed with stupendous ease through the tangle of canal traffic.
Nice cruise, the skipper gives a lot of attention tds the cruise. Definitely worth it on a hot day. Fresh breeze on the water and free drink to quench thirst.
nice service by jonathan on boarding
