A trip through the canals on the Blue Boat is an excellent way to see Amsterdam. The boat staff are friendly and informative and the views are amazing!

This tour is much better than the one that departs from the main docks near central station. We thoroughly recommend a trip on this tour as it provides running commentary in many languages through personal issue headphones rather than it repeated over a tannoy. Go book it!

This place had the worst customer service ever. The dutch are known for not great customer service but this place won the worst of the year award. Use another company, any other company if you want to cruise the canals

The ride is very nice, but was to be a guided tour and the guide hardly spoke nor showed anything, had to keep guessing what was where.

This was recommended by the concierge at our hotel. I am so glad that he suggested this to us. We learned so very much & saw so much more of the city than we would on our own. Highly recommended to all city travelers. Very educational.

We met some friends in Amsterdam and booked the dinner cruise. The food and wine was excellent, as was the service. Had difficulty with the commentary as we were chatting and didn't get a map to know where we were.
Amsterdam is a great city to see from the rivers and canals, especially at night.
Thoroughly recommend

We took this tour as it was included on our iAmsterdam card; I don't know how frequently they run as we just turned up and only had to wait a few minutes for a boat. The tour - which you listen to with headphones in whichever language you want - was interesting and we got to see most of the...

This is an amazing way to see the city and learn about it's many historic features. Earbuds are provided (new & to keep) for a narrated tour. They offer over 10 languages. The captain was very skilled at steering the long boat through all the tight turns and narrow canals.
The city is simply amazing from a water-vantage. I would...

With so many choices to explore the canals in Amsterdam, it can be difficult choose which company to choose. I believe Blue Boat was a good choice based on our experience.
The duration of the trip was 75 minutes, which is longer than offered by most companies- though I was getting a tad restless by the end. One downfall was...

Good set up - quick to board, no messing around... straight on the boat and headphones on. Sit back and enjoy hearing about Amsterdams history and culture.... whilst resting your feet! Great value for money.
