The only way to see the canals!

Personal trip with lots of amusing annecdotes
Patrick_T

This was excellent value for money and we had the boat all to ourselves with a friendly and amusing captain. The trip took us through the canals, out into the AmstelRiver and to the edge of the harbour. It was just the right length of tour. The boat turned up on time and it was a pleasure to spend time chatting about life in Amsterdam with the captain
Great Way to See Amsterdam and Enjoy the Canals Without the Crowds

Our guide was terrific. He told us a lot about what we were seeing and he couldn’t have been more enjoyable. Seeing Amsterdam from the canals after walking the streets also offered a unique perspective. And being on a private tour looked infinitely better than being a sardine on a large tour boat.

The experience was amazing, the host was so friendly and welcoming. He took us to some of the most beautiful parts of Amsterdam and explained everything along the way. He made us laugh and made us feel so comfortable. Great value for money and the pick up point was easy to find. We loved every minute of the trip and would 100% recommend.
Truly exceptional

Was totally wonderful. Nothing like classic boring tourist ride we were so not looking for)). If you would love to experience Amsterdam from perspective of local people and learn more about ways that Netherlands deal with their unique geographical challenges and have millions other questions about life in Amsterdam. Do book - We didn’t notice 1,5 hours go by .. Thank you so much

why did you not take us by the Anne Frank house?
we actually saw your boat with a few folks for a later cruise, when we were at the Ann Frank house and you went right by it.
also, the commentary was a little weird.
you seemed skittish on the river, always worrying about the other boats...acted like you had not done this before...

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
