Sabrina and Freddy, who were the hosts, made a brilliant day trip. The boat trio was very informative but Sabrina is funny too. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone.
It was a fun experience. The crew told plenty, made personal calls and made nice drinks.
It was a nice cruise with an excellent guide. However, on one of the advertisements, I saw information about an “unlimited bar,” which turned out not to be true. I expected soft drinks to be included, but they were also charged separately. That said, everything else was perfect.
The boat was too full, the crew could hardly move and the people on the long sides had no legroom at all, so even an hour was very uncomfortable. The tour itself and the guide were very friendly and entertaining.
The cruise was fine. We went in a small loop and heard three facts about Amsterdam. In its face, it was exactly as advertised, we had a drink, went through canals and learned a few facts. In reality, we were left wanting more.
We had two lovely guides, one who captained the ship. They brought us through the canals and had tons of great facts for us. We had a blast!
Sabrina and the boat driver were awesome. The tour was interesting and fun. The trip itself around the canals was fantastic - I could stay on the boat all day! We upgraded to the drinks option, it was worth it. Really glad we went with this company, the boat was beautiful. Thanks for the memories guys 💛
Ticketing experience online was very good and easy. Boat was very nice, was just expecting a bit more commentary through the cruise.
The tour was the right lenght. Got the see many interesting bridges and houses. There was great difficulty hearing the guid though except when under bridges.
Seating was awkward. The drink waiter, although knowledgeable about the cruise, kept blocking the view of what we were supposed to see.
Everything was great, very informative, good hospitality.
The staff was so friendly 😊 God palace you 🙏
Friendly staff and pleasant experience
Great atmosphere, informative guide!
Short but very precise and well informative tour by the ship staff.
Very nice and welcoming. I recommend
A fun way to tour the canals and learn about the history of Amsterdam!
Nice boat ride! Very friendly staff.
Very Informative & relaxed, would recommend!
Lovely boat helm and crew. Loads of info and a lovely way to spend an hour.
Very nice personal.............
A perfect guide with a good sense of humour and a perfect organisation. Recomendable for everybody.
I highly recommend it to everyone, it was awesome
The hosts were knowledgeable, funny, and open to questions. THere was a good balance between information and down time to just enjoy the sights.
The atmosphere. The guides are top-notch, attentive to our needs, their commentaries are original and full of anecdotes, and they're all smiles. The gouda tasting added a touch of originality. I had a great time. Thank you very much.
It was on time. The boat was clean and operated very smoothly. The tour guide was informative, personable and made the entire trip very worthwhile.
The guide told interesting stories. I expected to see the Keizersgracht, Herengracht and Prinsengracht but our tour took us to the eastern part of the city and visited none of those, which was a bit disappointing. Perhaps I should have chosen the other departing point. There was no shade on the spot where we stood waiting for boarding.
The young couple we sat next too were lovely,the guide was amusing he did a great job under the circumstances But they needed 2 people assisting on the boat The young man couldn't be the guide and do the 'unlimited' wine ...which took at least 10 minutes to be offered a glass of!!! So no way 'unlimited ' the cheese was definitely not 'unlimited' It also finished 5 minutes early after starting 15 minutes late it was a beautiful night and so us sitting at the back of the boat had to roll up the plastic blinds which made the view murky I think this 'canal ' cruise could do a lot better for the €€€ they charge
I loved the ride, cheese and wine. As well as the hosts. I would've loved to hear more history and stories about Amsterdam. The host only talked about little bit about the city
We loved the chill vibe and the interesting facts during the Tour. They also gave us a lot of wine and Cheese, we loved that a lot! Our guide Louelle and our skipper Ruben were really fun and nice! We can totally recommend it!
It was very Limited cheese. Great guides and a lot of wines.
Great company on the board, and great experience.
Straff, guiding and atmosphere
Excellent, I am very satisfied with the communication and the service received.
The warm welcome. The crew's friendly comments.
The cruise was very lively.
It was really beautiful and our tour guide Rosa was very kind and funny!
Our recent canal cruise through Amsterdam was an absolute highlight! Gliding through the city's iconic waterways offered a unique perspective of its charming architecture and vibrant atmosphere. The unlimited drinks package was a fantastic addition, ensuring our glasses were always full and spirits high.
I found the atmosphere here super great... Josephine and her colleague really do a great job 👍🏼 We did the tour for the 2nd time and we would do it again every time we visit Amsterdam... simply wonderful ☺️
Hospitality was good, guide was nice
Great vibe, great guides, would recommend
First they said my ticket wasn't valid. After this embarrassment, they accepted it. When I arrived on the cruise, I wasn't given cheese but snacks. And the price on the sign there was €22 and I paid a lot more here on the app. I'm outraged!
I booked open-boat tour. When I arrived to the port they told that the boats are overbooked and we were put into big boat. We refused and asked to cancel our reservation. I have sent several e-mails to get the refund, no answer.
Het was echt een heerlijke leuke ervaring !! Amsterdam per boot is sowieso fantastisch, maar we hadden een hele leuke schipper en een super leuke tour guide. Mooie dag, gezellig en perfect. Sowieso voor herhaling vatbaar
Wonderful atmosphere on the cruise, very n ice staff, tells a lot of interesting facts and jokes :) We liked it very uch, I definitely recommend it
Lovely exceptional really had a good experience skipper told us all about different places would highly recommend them.
Fun, relaxed but very informative boat tour with knowlegable guide.
Good communication, easy to find and punctual... the tour is very nice and they explain very interesting things about the city...
Brilliant evening cruise and very interesting recommend. Reasonable price also. Staff very friendly and funny
Amazing, a really fun experience
The boat was almost empty and because of that the cruise had more of a charm. My favorite part was the Herengracht. And that’s why i loved the cruise.
The advantage went straight to the people sitting by the windows .people who were aisle sitter like me were not able to see most of the buildings and bridges announced by the boat broadcast or by the Captain. Next time I will book an open boat canal tour. Really very disappointing experience.
The captain of the vessel was very helpfull and he told us all the story of Amsterdan. We are very appreciated.
The canals are beautiful at night and it was a comfortable and beautiful experience!
Great tour, relaxing time, nice People...you can enter your food and enjoy the time without feeeling a tourist.
The tour was very informative. The captain was friendly and the cruising was on a good tempo. Not to fast not to slow.
Friendly crew. Very amusing. The ticketing process was easy.
Nice canal trip around the city, saw a lot!
Very pleasant and informative. We would book again.
Very interesting ! Thank you One hour long trip with various explanations And drinks And the weather was also great What a trip Thanks
Had a great time on this trip! Yana and Badr were fantastic guides—super fun and engaging. Such a unique and enjoyable way to explore and learn about the city's history, culture, and hidden gems.

We appreciated the bottle of water and the peanuts on arrival. The young people who served us were adorable and helpful, taking great care of us. We would have appreciated comments in French. Too bad. Still, it was a very nice, pleasant cruise.
The feeling and the team on the boat
Beautiful experience, good pizza and canal tour with simple and clear explanation. Highly recommended!
The team is great and the pizzas are really good. Really a great welcome, we recommend it to everyone.
Spectacular service and very funny captain.
Informative, relaxing and fun.
Nice event great Burger and a even more great staff...thx for having us,,😎👋
The kindness and helpfulness of the staff, the unlimited drinks and the excellent organization, I would have liked a higher audio of the audio guide and maybe the ability to customize the language
Unlimited Booze? You have caught my attention. A Burger and Brownie? I am officially considering it. All of this on an hour and a half boat trip across the Amsterdam Canal? SOLD
Oh boy did I cheat on my diet today.That was quite possible the best burger I have had in AGES. Not to mention the brownie. Never have I been so satisfied with a cheat meal
I loved how the guides were filling us in with the commentary, but not in an interruptive way. We enjoyed the delicious food and the great city
Listening to fun facts about different buildigs we crossed, while all I had to do was work on finishing this excellent meal of burgers and beers was what I needed
This was such an appealing package to me. I love burgers and beer. It's the best couch potato food ever. And being one myself, you can see why I jumped at the chance!

This walking tour in Amsterdam was the absolute highlight of my vacation in Niederland. We walked through the less touristy parts of the city and was taken through inside alleys - quiet and authentic. Everything is well organized from the boat hopp on hopp off to the public transport.
Fun experience. Tour with a few people at sunset. An alternative tour of the canals from the previous tour taken several years ago with another company starting from Amsterdam Centraal. Young staff and fun in explanations, much better than the tours with a registered guide (previous experience). It must be said that perhaps it would have been better to have had a little more attention in the highlights to be photographed (example the canal with 7 bridges).
Comfortable, good price, friendly crew!
It was a very relaxed tour, tour guide Sarah was also very friendly. Lots of interesting information.
Great reception, super service but especially the "lady-speaker" was great with very good information about the sights along the way, the Amsterdam of Then and Now, facts and (un)truths about the city and all that in a fanstastic and especially humorous way brought. A big thank you for this fun experience - highly recommended!
Great night canal cruise in Amsterdam, cheese and wine. Well worth it
Very nice, great team and a fantastic trip
The guide was awesome!!! We had a really great time
Beautiful and comfortable boat! Great historical and anecdotal commentary. Beautiful to see the city in the evening
Great vibes! Ilai ripping jokes on a boat is a bast. Geat vista of Amsterdam and beautiful canals. Did it during the sunset. Pure bliss!
Had a great time on the boat. Was with my friends and we were laughing the whole time. Ilai was a great host and made it an amazing experience

We had a fantastic experience on the boat tour in Amsterdam with Bader and Elzo! The atmosphere was relaxed, the views were stunning, and the hosts were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. They shared great insights about the city while keeping the mood light and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to see Amsterdam from a unique and beautiful perspective.
Great boat trip around the city. With fantastic hosts. Great to smoke and float. I would highly recommend this trip for smokers.
The two guys leading the tour were excellent, I can't remember their names but we were on the 13:15 tour on the 20th June. The information communicated was interesting and helpful. Their style was informative and informal. The captain knew how to manage the ship and never worried us. It was an excellent tour

At the top the idea of the cruise is the best!!! Thanks to Lenzo and kees It was vainly top An incredible experience
We had a great time. It was a nice experience, Ilai was a very nice host and told us a lot of cool facts. 10-10 recommend !!!!
I had the best time on the Cruise on a Cloud Boat! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The boat itself is stunning—super comfortable, stylish, and set up perfectly for a laid-back, chilled-out vibe. The atmosphere was unreal, cozy seating, and a smooth ride through Amsterdam’s beautiful canals. The staff were amazing—so friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. They really went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time. You can tell they genuinely love what they do. Everything was well-organized, and the whole experience felt effortless and relaxing. If you’re looking for a unique way to enjoy the best of Amsterdam, this cruise is an absolute must. It’s the perfect mix of good vibes, great company, and an unforgettable setting. I’d do it again in a heartbeat!
It was a fantastic afternoon spent cruising along the canals of Amsterdam with friends on a brand-new boat. Our knowledgeable guide and captain ensured that we had an enjoyable and informative experience.
So much fun! Everything was well arranged, instruction where the boat was docked was also very clear and we've giggled the whole time during the cruise. Would recommend this boat cruise :)
I went on the cloud boat with my friends and it was an amazing experience! The Hostess was super nice and gave us great insights about Amsterdam. You really feel like you are floating around Amsterdam on a cloud. The best place to smoke in Amsterdam in my opinion!!!
The boat looked amazing. We had a great time om board and the team was nice! Fun way to cruise through the city and learn more about
Had a great time on the cloud boat. Marie was an amazing host!! Would definitely book this again without a doubt. Thanks team!
Really had a great time, the host was super friendly and also let us relax, while sharing some funny stories and making us feel comfortable. Can totally recommend, the boat also looks really cool!
This was definitely the 'high'light of my 'trip' to Amsterdam! No puns intended. I would highly recommend it to anyone. It’s the perfect combination of enjoying the coffeeshops and cruising the canals at the same time.
The guide was really friendly and gave us tons of interesting info, making it feel super chill and fun. We stopped at a few coffee shops where I got to learn all about their different products. :) Definitely recommend!
Super cool and trippy cruise, with a great host and very great atmosphere! It was an amazing way to see the city of Amsterdam.
The tour and explanations from the guide/captain were top-notch. The food was top-notch, from the appetizer to the soup, main course and dessert, super good and fresh! Highly recommend!
* The engaging, friendly and personable crew members, their humorous banter and extensive historical commentary made the entire evening very special. * The exquisite cuisine and relaxed and comfortable surroundings were impeccable. * we were very fortunate to have amazing weather cnditions
The organization was good and the food was delicious.
Food was excellent Our captain was great as well as the servers. Would highly recommend this dinner cruise.
The staff were very friendly and attentive. A boat trip in Amsterdam is simply a must.
The welcome, the menu and the quality of the meal, the service. And of course the cruise and the comfort of the boat.
On board service, food, lanscape
Friendly staff, good food. Audio system on board not very understandable.
Very good food and great service on board. A new sound system on the ship would be great, unfortunately it is very difficult to understand
A fantastic experience and well worth the money. Amazing views along the canals of Amsterdam with a delicious 4 course meal along the way. Wine served throughout. Thoroughly recommend.
The food was good and the service excellent. It was a shame there was no information shared about where we were or what the buildings were we were passing but overall an enjoyable evening.
Excellent professionals, super fun captain, delicious food. I loved it!
We particularly enjoyed the evening impressions of Amsterdam and the 4-course menu.
Very well organized, the service was excellent, as was the food (had the fish menu) clear recommendation!!!!!!
I had booked the open boat with flowers, it was not available and I got a refund ......
