“Viator provided the incorrect meeting point address. Luckily we arrived to the listed address with enough time to spare to speed walk 10 minutes to the actual dock. Not easy when pregnant. We weren't alone in being misdirected, but we were the last to load into the boat due to this. Almost lost our entire experience because of this. The experience itself was nothing special, I wasn't anticipating sitting in silence plugged into a headset on a boat learning facts about Amsterdam.”
Sunset canal cruise on a small electric open boat from the Rijksmuseum, with drinks, Dutch snacks, and night views.
“Wonderful time. Great guide / owner. Scenery is spectacular. Make sure you hit the bathroom before you board or limit your alcohol intake because there is no bathroom and I nearly had an embarrassing moment 😊”

“David was full of information! Very personable and willing to answer all our questions.”
90-minute Amsterdam evening canal cruise with welcome prosecco, Dutch cheese, and your choice of wine, plus live narration near Central Station.
“The food and wine on the tour was great, although the servers were a little disorganized. There was also no beer served, which I thought was going to be included. Not everyone had cheese on their table and some of my friends had to ask for it, and the servers said they didn't have any more which was poor planning on their part, but they found a plate on a table that didn't have any customers. There wasn't enough for everyone. It was a really pretty tour and the boat was really warm. It was a little chaotic getting on the boat and it was really hard to hear the…”
Sip unlimited cocktails on a 75-minute night cruise through Amsterdam’s lit canal district, with snacks, Wi-Fi, and a great city intro.
“Nice relaxing ambience. The drinks were good, especially the daiquiri! Besides the two cocktails, there was also unlimited red or white wine along with unlimited snacks. The hosts were very attentive about refilling our drinks. The only drawback is that one must arrive quite early to get window seats. Having done a cruise before, we were not so disappointed to get non-window seats, but if this is the only cruise you do in Amsterdam, you might like to arrive 20-30 mins before departure.”
