How likely is it that you will recommend us to family, friends or colleagues?
Das Boot bietet ein wunderschönes Ambiente; gemütlich, stilvoll, historisch. Der Skipper hat sich sehr gut in unserer Familienrunde verhalten; freundlich, humorvoll, verbindlich aber nicht aufdringlich. Die Hostess war ebenfalls sehr aufmerksam, freundlich und dezent.

Fine boat, friendly staff. Just one medium size table for 11 persons is not enough. Catering not quite okay. Food (Spanish, 44 euro p.p.) too expensive in relation to quality. Bread, olives, aioli, salt and peppar were missing.

The Captain was very friendly and chose an excellent itinerary for our two hours. We had a fantastic time. The only reason I would not score this 10 our of 10 is because I think that the 10 euro per bottle charge for corkage is excessive.

Jan was a very nice, accommodating skipper. Nice comfortable boat. Really appreciated that we could bring our own food and wine on board. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the cruise & found it great value for money.

Exceptional service, nothing too much trouble. Tiddo accodating in everyway with great communication at all times. Jan the Skipper is a very cool guy and we felt safe at all times with his hand at the wheel. Regular toilet stops and interesting comentary along the way. Fun, luxurious and truely an experience. 11 ladies and 5 hours of drinking, eating and chatting. Would do it over and over again, Infact if i ever come back to Holland my reunion will be with these guys. Keep it up you have the perfect combination. Debra

I'm happy to confirm that the cruise was much more than adequate. The cruise was the highlight of our visit to Amsterdam. Your boat is beautiful and you are a most charming and hospitable Captain. We appreciate all you did to make our cruise such a success.

We really enjoyed the boat and the tour, and our captain was very nice. Overall, I would definitely recommend the tour to my friends. However, I think the price was a little expensive, and would have been willing to rent for longer if there was a discount for additional hours. Thanks, George

Skipper was pleasant, it a little abrupt at times. Weather was great and flexibility to bring our own food and drink was excellent. We saw a lot of Amsterdam and were glad we chose a skippered boat in comfort over a cheaper smaller boat. I would definitely recommend this boat to other parties of 8. We felt very smug when the big tourist boats chugged past.

I can sum it up in one-word- it was perfect! We had organized a conference for international veterinarian inspectors who check on livestock trucks on the highways, to see that the animals on board are properly protected. They came from Spain, Italy, Poland, Lithuania, Austria and Holland. For many it was their first time in Amsterdam. The boat was comfortable with big seats and everyone got comfy. Our captain was relaxed, flexible and very friendly. He came perfectly on time and really gave the impression that he loved his job- he was not commercial at all but a true Amsterdamer and you could tell he loved his city! He even had brought a bottle of Dutch snaps for everyone to enjoy, and he told us about Amsterdam. There was soft music in the background, perfect to create a relaxed atmosphere but not so loud that people could not talk and simply focus on the sights. Tiddo brought us to all the nice spots, so that the participants (who had spent the whole day inside) could really enjoy the best of the best of Amsterdam! The weather was perfect too. I will indeed book another boat tour through your company in the future! Congratulations on keeping the true spirit of Amsterdam alive!

Reserved boat as surprise tour for my family and everyone was very happy with the day. Easy to book although did receive yes/no emails from other vendors which made confimation a little confusing. Boats in very good condition, easy to use. Staff very friendly, informative & quick. Would recommend the service and will definately book again. Thanks for helping to make a great day!

Rented for 32 guests including 17 kids, we spent a lovely time during a 4 hours trip in the canals and the northern islands. The 2 waitresses were great and nice to everybody (including the kids who were always asking for things to drink). Thanks also to the captain who understood the idea of the trip and brought us accurately to nice places, in the centered canals and also to the islands. The boat also has an opening roof which was perfect for the sunny conditions.

It was really fun to spend a few hours with some friends cruising through Amsterdam chanels. I'd recommend specially if there's good weather. The boats are slow but you get used to it. Only con is that we lost the plastic map due to a wind blow and they charged us 15 for just a small plastified piece of paper. Recommended if you want to see Amsterdam in a relaxed way!

Excellent, the boat was a little unstable when moving around but fine if careful but this is becuase the boat is light and it would have been nice to have some advice on timings and canal tours but overall excellent value for money.
