Captain Attila is a great guide. He is able to share his extensive knowledge of Amsterdam's history, canals, buildings and personalities in such an engaging, interesting and fun way for all the family. My wife, three sons and I had such a great time - so thank you Attila! The boat is also ideal - electric and comfortable, so you can get up close and into the really interesting and narrower canals too. My family and I strongly recommend Attila and Amsterdam Boat Adventures over the bigger, less personal (and potentially cheaper) boats that ply the canals, where bored faces stare out of the windows at you.

We had an incredible private canal ride to view this year’s light festival. Captain Atilla knew everything about the art as well as Amsterdam, and kept us warm with heated seats blankets and gluhwein. It was the best way to see the city and our entire family ranked it as their #1 experience during our vacation. We could not recommend it more.

This was a perfect way to end our first day in Amsterdam. Jamie was a great guide, shared Amsterdam history, pointed out interesting info about the architecture and houseboats, and made everyone feel comfortable during the 90-minute cruise. There were blankets on board for the chilly night air and cold drinks for purchase. Highly recommend doing this at sunset for the beautiful light on the water and the night lights in the canals.

We had last visited Amsterdam in 2019 and twice greatly enjoyed our small tours through the canals with Jamie. When we returned this June I made it a priority to see if ABA was still in business and was happy to see that they are. The boat is small but comfortable, and the tour is a friendly, informative, funny, and charming view of Amsterdam through its canals. Capt. Jamie and crew are excellent and safe boaters. Beer, wine, and soft drinks are available on board at very affordable prices. The embarkation point is around the corner from the Hermitage Museum (where other, larger boat tours depart). ABA is the perfect size (maximum 12) and vibe for a relaxing but educational slow cruise, day or sunset. Very highly recommend it!

I live here, have tried a bunch with different visitors and this was my favorite. Captain Atilla was phenomenal - so easy to talk to and listen to, conversational - didn't feel like a tour guide doing his job, felt like your friend showing you around on a boat. Also small group of only 8 on our boat so felt really special. Cannot recommend enough and Atilla was the best!!

Our family had a great boat tour from Captain Catherine, whose knowledge, sense of humour, insights, as well as her smooth boating skills, gave us a wonderful experience. Our 10-year-old grandchild asked me to give her a one million out of ten star review!

I booked a boat cruise with Amsterdam Boat Adventures for my Dads birthday based on the great google reviews and we weren’t disappointed! Thank you to Captain Callum for giving us a such a fun, relaxed & informative canal cruise and showing us some fab sights. The small boat was lovely, and it was so nice to be with a smaller group- crusing the smaller, quieter canals. We saw the bigger cruises going past with 20+ people listening via an Audio guide and we were so happy with our choice. So much more personal and a fun experience. Would absolutely recommend! Really great value drinks on board too if, like us, you forgot to pick up before!
