Best way to see and understand the history of Amsterdam Super great experience highly recommended

It was relaxing, beautiful, and informative. A lovely time overall! 10/10 would recommend!

A truly fantastic boat experience! Gisella was very nice, knowledgeable and very accommodating. Everything was wonderful, from her company to the atmosphere that was created on board. A wonderful experience in great company, which I highly recommend! ❤️

Our tour guide Gisela was so great. So glad we picked this company and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a small group canal tour.

Enjoyable day on the canals Nice way to orient yourself on your first day in Amsterdam

A wonderful tour! Highly recommended! We had such a great time that we booked again 2 days later! Great host, comfortable boat (with WC), and plenty of refreshments. The tour was informative and fun. Thank you!

Had the best time tonight on the sunset cruise! Captain Jahn was the absolute best and so knowledgeable about the city, its history and the architecture! After the tour he sent us a list of his favorite things in the city which was very helpful when curating things to do! I would recommend this tour to everyone and absolutely go again!

Karim was a great guide - he shared lots of fun facts and interesting knowledge during the trip and made sure we all had a great time. Would definitely recommend this trip.

Gisela was very knowledgeable of Amsterdam Amazing experience, very professional, snacks and loo on board ! Highly recommended

Fabtastic Really interesting guide, who tailored the commentary to what was happening on the trip and the questions from the guests

Great tour. Fairly comprehensive and interactive. We had a tour (champagne added) and there was also snacks and additional drinks on board). Great info shared, fun experience!

Amazing tour with a perfect blend of humor and history. Don't be afraid to ask for local recommendations in the city center for food and other historic sites to see.

Could have given it more if I could. Went on a canal cruise with Captain Dave. I must say I had the best experience. The stories, the history and the comfort everything was PERFECT!

Absolutely fantastic canal cruise! With just five of us on board, it felt like a private tour. Our skipper was wonderful—friendly, knowledgeable, and full of interesting stories about Amsterdam. The whole experience was relaxed, informal, and incredibly informative, with plenty of laughs along the way. Such a lovely way to see the city from the water. Highly recommend Dave’s!

The absolute best time! The Jonckvrouw was so beautiful and comfortable. The sights were amazing everywhere you looked! Captain Stein was welcoming, took care of our every need and gave us a wonderful tour! Thank you!!!!!!!

Best experience!!! Gisela is a friendly and knowledgeable. We have learned so much about Netherland and Amsterdam! Highly recommended. Wonderful experience.

Best experience!!! Gisela is a friendly and knowledgeable. We have learned so much about Netherland and Amsterdam! Highly recommended. Wonderful experience.

Gsela was great !!! cant wait to comeback and tell our friends as well ... great host very knowledgeable

Best experience and Gisela was amazing with her knowledge of the city. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Terrific evening boat tour. Lovely female captain who gave a great presentation. Good food and wine.

Giselle was our fabulous guide. I would recommend this tour to everyone. Very personable. Lots of history but she also gave us hints on where to eat and shop. It was worth every penny. 10 stars.

Very nice tour!

Had a great time and enjoyed all the history highlighted during the tour.

We booked a private noon canal cruise on what used to be the Mayor of Amsterdam's boat, now electric, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. The ride was smooth and quiet, so we could actually hear the stories about the city's history while we floated past it. There were plenty of drink options on board, which made it feel relaxed rather than touristy. Our host was fantastic: friendly, informative, and clearly happy to be out there. We had to stop briefly to pick up some last-minute riders, and she kindly added that time back onto our cruise, which we really appreciated. It would be great for couples, families with kids, and pretty much anyone who wants to see Amsterdam from the water. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed this tour. Our guide Gisela was kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and game to answer any and all questions. I learned a lot about the history of Amsterdam and also got some tips on where to go for food and drink. I’ll also note, I was booked to go on tour at a different time and completely got the times wrong. Gisela was kind enough to let me join the later time slot and I’m so glad she did because this was one of the highlights of my trip thus far!

Magnifique promenade pour découvrir Amsterdam la nuit !Gisela est attentionnée et professionnelle.

Wonderful experience!Gisela is very kind and a very good guide!!

Fantastic tour with Gisela, small group, much more relaxed and interesting than the big boats. Lots of local recommendations. Really lovely way to get to know the city.

Πολύ όμορφη εμπειρια που πρέπει να ζησεις είναι αλλιώς το Αμστερνταμ μεσα από το νερό. Με 2-3 ποτηρακια κρασι βλέπεις ολη την ιστορια της πολης εν πλω. Ευχαριστούμε Gisela

Great tour, Gisela was great! Highly recommend!

Great experience and lots of interesting information

I love Steijn

Excellent Guide was entertaining and knowledgeable, was a great event.

For our first time in Amsterdam, our group could not have expressed more praise for this tour. Stejn was amazing, make sure to get him.

Stein was AMAZING!!! The tour was so informative and fun. The coziness and intimacy was just right.

Fabulous cruise on the canals! Perfect way to spend our afternoon. Roman was an awesome captain!

Unbelievable tour!! Roman is not only a Brad Pitt lookalike but has an in-depth knowledge of the history of Amsterdam. Highly Recommend!!

Spectacular trip! Great tour of the canals and the city. Laid back and much more intimate than the larger boat tours. Highly recommend. Complimentary drinks and snacks. Amazing guide who provided a lot of insights about the city.

This was a cozy evening tour. Great captain and a wonderful group. Lots of wonderful information and beautiful views. I highly recommend!!

There were only 4 people and captain Gisela was so fun and knowledgeable . Great boat

Great tour with Gisela of the city. Very personalized and mouth to mouth.

Knowledgeable and experienced!! Loved the small, personal Amsterdam canal cruise. Definitely recommend !!

Amazing!! We had such an amazing experience on this boat tour! Our guide was incredibly kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. She shared so much interesting history throughout the tour, which made the experience even better. It rained during our ride, but the boat was covered, so it didn’t bother us at all! We were still able to enjoy everything comfortably. She truly made the experience so memorable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better tour. Highly recommend!

This was an amazing and relaxing tour. Best thing we've done in AMS. Gisela is so great and very knowledgeable. Highly, highly recommend!!

Really enjoyed the boat ride. Always nicer when it’s less people and feels more personal. You can ask questions, find out lots of interesting facts and there’s a fun discussion going. Thank you!

Very cosy Cruise with great comments in a beautiful and confortable wooden boat

Fantastic canal tour. Highly recommend! Captain Dave provides great history and fun stories in addition to providing laughs along the way. The boat is closed in and heated with provided drinks and snacks.

Fantastic tour. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Insanely friendly. Just the best.

Wonderful! We had time to spare waiting for our room to be available on Viking. We LOVED the cruise. Very informative. Gisela was a. GREAT captain! She had so many gun facts and interesting history. Highly recommend it!

Wonderful experience.

Excellent encoded boat tour Lovely small boat, great captain guide, very pleasant tour better than the bigger boats as could go around smaller canals

Fun cruise Fun experience. The other travelers made it a lot of fun. Wine was plentiful and good. Highly recommend it.

I read reviews & found Captain Daves small group Amsterdam sightseeing cruises highly recommended.Although we had a change of plans & booked at short notice/ same day, we met Captain Gisela on board the Royal Jonckvrouw at the spot sent via email. The boat, it was explained, was the ex-mayor of Amsterdam's boat, converted to all electric, so it was quiet, smooth, stable, warm & luxurious, with complimentary cake & drinks, SUPERB!As luck would have it, we 3 were the sole passengers and were treated to a private tour of the Amsterdam canal highlights for 100 minutes (+10), full of information, anecdotes & fun facts!Thank you Gisela for entertaining us!Again, as luck would have it, the weather remained dry until the end of our cruise, when we followed up on a couple of Gisela's recommendations, until the downpour started & we beat a hasty (Bolt taxi) retreat back to our Air BnB.We highly recommend Captain Dave's canal tour, without any reservations.Roy, Laura & PT.

Our tour was so great! So informative and real local knowledge.

Amazing service, was unable to make original booking due to illness but they were able to reorganise at no extra cost. Gisela in particular was great as a guide too

Great canal cruise! I’ve done a similar one on a larger boat and this was much better. Our guide, Jan, was very entertaining and knowledgeable - an actual local! He also gave a list of recommendations for dining, museums, etc that had come in very handy. Definitely recommend this one over some of the larger canal tours!

Sales with Jan and it was a wonderful experience. Lots of information about the boat and the city as we toured the canals.Highly recommended, only 12 passengers so very personalized plus the open bar for beer and wine was a great plus.Thanks Jan

Great canal cruise The trip was very enjoyable. The captain was very knowledgeable and a great skipper. The boat was smaller and enclosed so warm and cozy. Highly recommend Captain Dave Amsterdam.

Fantastic tour!

Great smaller boat tour … enjoyed our captain & learned a lot of history

On of the best boats out there. Max of 12 people. It was a beautiful boat and an absolutely outstanding experience!Our only minor issue was that we expected to see a sign or some indication of where to board at the designated address. Since we arrived early, we were a little unsure we were in the right place.My advice: Don’t worry if you don’t see the boat right away. It may not arrive until about 5 minutes before departure, so just be patient and trust the process!I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a truly memorable experience on the water. The beautiful boat, the fantastic experience, and the intimate atmosphere with a maximum of just 12 people make it feel so much more special than a typical boat tour. The small group size allows you to relax, enjoy the scenery, and really appreciate the experience without feeling crowded.Absolutely worth it — don’t hesitate to book!

We had a wonderful time on this canal cruise in Amsterdam! The experience was very personal, and our guide was super friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed seeing Amsterdam from the water. The refreshments on board were a lovely touch, and having a toilet available was a big plus, too. Everything was well organized, and we felt very comfortable throughout the trip. We would definitely recommend this experience!

Jon was a wonderful guide! He was entertaining and very knowledgeable about Amsterdam history!

Relaxing canal tour Great small group tour. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and personable. Great way to learn about Amsterdam and enjoy the views.

Jan was a very informative and funny guide. A truly comfortable intimate tour, especially when watching the big huge tour boats go by, that looked very Touristy and impersonal. Great drinks and snacks.

FANTASTIC cruise. Jan was our captain/tour guide and he was so knowledgeable, professional and fun. The boat was very nice, beers, wine, snacks and water were included. We would highly recommend him.
