Book Bubbles and Bites! : )

One of my favorite activities in Amsterdam! We have been on a boat cruise in Paris and were very unimpressed, so we almost didn't book this. It was great and now wish we would have booked the 2 hour instead of the one hour cruise! There were only 8 of us on the boat and our tour guide was awesome (wish I could recall her name - moved to Amsterdam from the US)! We learned a lot about what we were seeing and she was very open to questions. Seeing Amsterdam at sunset was breathtaking. We had arrived early so we were able to witness Dara (one of the Flagship employees) in action - she solved several different issues with tourists (like a lady who insisted she was supposed to be picked up at her hotel). She was calm and friendly - even when they were upset. She really impressed us! It was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend this boat and company!

Subpar, below average tour

Very average and to be honest, a disappointing tour, considering how high the ratings and reviews are on Tripadvisor. The tour started late, is very short, could not see anything of Amsterdam clearly, most of the time went in settling down, if you want unlimited drinks for your ticket and can chug down a bottle in an hour, it’s great. Only advantage is the price is kinda low. So you get what you pay for. Information is subpar, could not follow very well the accent of the Peruvian lady and most of the information was very average, the cheese was meh. Not an exciting tour at all. You could almost feel all the passengers on the tour get a sinking feeling at the end, you could hear them think - “what? that’s it?” Before we saw anything but a few slanted buildings and some information about the number of bikes at the bottom of the canals, we were back. Save your time, and try something else.
