Decided to take a 1-hour river cruise with his company as the prices were much better than were appearing on other tourist sites. Paid €14 and the tour was smooth and the boat was beautiful. It was a very cold day but luckily the boat was a full glass top so you felt like you could see everything around you and were nice and warm as Amsterdam is cold this time of year. The driver was really good and the information they shared was really useful and would definitely recommend this experience and especially at that price.

Really love the tour, chose it because of the enclosed boat with heat, absolutely needed for an overcast and cold day like today!

The seats are very comfortable and love the configuration with a table. The price of the tour is reasonable compared to other tours. The whole tour lasted about an hour, which I believe it’s more but enough!

Nice cruise, although the robotic voice is a bit annoying. Would prefer more natural und real voices. Nice sights and good speed at which the boat was driving. Also very fair price compared to other canal cruises (14,50 Euros). Nice roof against run. Also good on rainy days.

One of the classic Amsterdam experiences. Only wish that the audio tour was a little bit less distracting 🤏. Other than that it was a great ride.
