Traveler reviews
A great boat ride through the canals and river!
Ignacio was a great tour guide and bartender! He also made us great apperol spritz. My mom lost her phone on the boat tour and he helped her find it! Thank you so much Ignacio! Viva Ecuador!
well worth booking!
really enjoyed our boat trip. Josephine K & Frank were so engaging and interesting. the boat was really comfortable and i learned lots about the beautiful city of Amsterdam!! the flowers on the boat really add to the atmosphere and there’s a bar for those who want a drink.
great cruise
Frank was a great guide, very funny, bery informational
Heineken boat tour
Nice tour, note however that it was not easy to hear the voice of the person speaking, I would suggest a microphone. I did not find it fair to ask for money at the end of the tour for the second drink (I did not have anything), it would have been more correct to specify immediately that it was for a fee. I noticed that it also bothered other guests.
Highly recommend!
Absolutely brilliant!! Both hosts were very knowledgeable of the city and made us very comfortable too
