      Best tour boast in dam
      We booked this boat which was abit dearer than the million other boats in dam but well worth the money. We meat the captain and other passengers at meeting point. The amount of drink and selection from mulled wine and wines to beers and juice was great. There was delish snacks too. The tour was great your taken down the light festival and given so much history from the fantastic captain. My only critique would be for thoughs sitting outside there should be a speaker so they can also hear all the amazing history and also blankets too as it was very cold. But add that and it would be the best. However this never wrecked my experience as my friends who sat inside were able to fill me in, outside was just so beautiful so to have both the history being told while outside would be amazing. Highly recommend and will do again.

      Great way to see Amsterdam!
      We had a blast on this tour. The buildings were gorgeous. Sebi was so knowledgeable about the area and super friendly. And the mulled wine and snacks were delicious.

      An amazing guide and a beautiful boat
      My wife and I went on a really nice trip with Sebi yesterday. In fact, we were the only two passengers, but that did not put a damper on Sebi’s enthusiasm one bit. The trip was so great I really just need to summarize in bulletpoints: - beautiful boat, great for 12, luxurious for 2 - boat small enough to fit under the lowest bridges, you see what the others don’t - great and tastefully arranged drinks and snacks, incl hot, fresh snacks picked up from a catering kitchen - fresh flowers, blankets, pillows and all comforts - a REALLY knowledgable guide who is at least third generation true Amsterdamer. Ask him about his grandfathers passport tools! - a tailormade trip where you learn and see what really makes Amsterdam unique Is it worth the extra hour and twice the price of one-hour trips on big, 75+ passenger boats? Most definitely. It’s so worth it. An absolute joy and the highlight of our trip.

      Everything we could ask for in a tour
      Sebi provided a most pleasurable evening with his knowledge of both the city and the light festival. Excellent refreshments.....he even stopped to pick up some delicious freshly made appetizers. The boat was luxe and toasty warm but pictures could be easily taken inside or out Thank you Sebi! I’ll be back in March!

      Light festival experience by boat
      Sebi is the most delightful, charming, and considerate host. I can’t say enough good things about him and his tour, and I don’t want to spoil all the pleasant surprises that he has in store for you. This tour was beyond all of my expectations, and I dare say the best tour I’ve ever participated in all of my travels. Sebi gave us knowledgeable explanations of all of the light festival exhibits along the canals. I will do another tour with Sebi in a heartbeat the next time I’m in Amsterdam. You should too!

      Amazing tour!!!
      Olivier and Xavier were absolutely incredible!!!! The boat was beautiful and they went above and beyond to make sure our tour was the most comfortable and enjoyable that it could be. Xavier told us all about the history of the canals and took us all over them to look at the lights. The snacks and drinks were wonderful and he even stopped halfway at a restaurant to get us authentic bitteballs. At the end, he found out where we were staying and literally took us directly to the hotel. Above and beyond doesn’t even touch how impressive this tour was. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!!!!

      Fabulous! Highlight of our time in Amsterdam!
      Sebi’s tour was fabulous in so many ways! First of all, Sebi was so kind, welcoming and hospitable from the moment we got onto his boat. He had drinks and snacks all nicely presented for us and even stopped along the route to get us freshly made authentic Dutch treats. He was also knowledgeable about the Amsterdam and the Light Festival and an overall great conversationalist. The boat itself was lovely, quaint and so much more warm and inviting than the large tour boats we saw. Lastly, we had the great fortune of having Sebi and his boat all to ourselves the night we went, which added to the fabulousness of it all. It was a unique and unforgettable night.

      Highlight of our AMS visit
      Met lifelong friends in AMS, wanting to explore parts of the city we haven’t before. A friend booked the Festival of Lights tour with Sebi. Oliver met us and was very friendly. Told us about the business. Sebi pulled up with the boat and welcomed us warmly. He had a nice spread of drinks and snacks waiting on his beautiful boat. His passion for Amsterdam, the canals and his boat made the tour even better. Seeing a town thru the eyes of a local is always a treat. I would highly recommend Sebi to anyone looking to see this beautiful city from the canals. Looking forward to visiting when the weather is warmer and the colours are in full bloom.

      The best way to see Amsterdam!! Sebi rocks!
      This was the highlight of our trip! Sebi gave my whole family (baby included) a private boat tour during the Festival of Lights. He adds so many special (and delicious) touches that really give you an insiders/local perspective of the city. You can feel his passion for the city and it is contagious! I would highly recommend taking a boat ride with Sebi!

      A great and relaxed tour on a picturesque boat
      As part of a bachelor party we had a three hour tour with dinner on deck of Sebi's beautyfull boat. He even picked us up and dropped us at a handy location. The next day we could even pick up some of the things we forgot on the boat!

    We hit the jackpot with Sebi. We had an unexpected free day in Amsterdam and were searching for a canal tour: more than 1 hr., mid-price range, with drinks and good snacks and a medium sized boat with a covering in case it rained. Bingo! Sebi Boat tours! Sebi (Sebastian) is someone who really takes pride in his work and it shows. He was responsive to my confirmatory phone call, arrived on time, had plentiful drinks and good snacks for us and provided a very informative bilingual (German and English) tour for the 8 people who were in the boat with him. 100% recommend you go with Sebi when in Amsterdam.

    Our party of 6 had a truly wonderful canal cruise with Sebi Tours in late September. It was a very rainy day, but our captain immediately welcomed us into his covered boat, laid out fantastic snacks (cheese, meats, etc.) and kept encouraging us to try all of the different wines and liquors (and we did!!). It was a bit tough to see out of the rain covered windows, but we still were able to enjoy the canal scenery while listening to our captain's tales of Amsterdam's history. Part way through the tour, he stopped at his brother's restaurant and picked up some freshly fried snacks, including Amsterdam's iconic snack, bitterballen, and they were certainly delicious. All in all, one of the best tours I've ever taken - a great boat, great food and drink, a wonderful captain, and a chance to drink in the famous Amsterdam scenery. Don't hesitate to contact Sebi Tours, you will truly enjoy it!

    Our experience with the boat trip was simply sensational! From the first minute everything was perfectly organized. What was really great was that despite my handicap in my knee, I was immediately and completely uncomplicatedly helped in/out.

    The boat itself was in perfect condition, clean and comfortable. It was obvious that a lot of emphasis is placed on maintenance and care.

    The route of the ride offered beautiful views of Amsterdam.

    Also a highlight was the catering on board. The small food and drinks offered were of the highest quality and were lovingly prepared.

    Particularly noteworthy was the professionalism and friendliness of Sebi. The captain was extremely nice and very helpful when boarding, which made the start of our trip particularly enjoyable. He has created a very pleasant, relaxed and warm atmosphere. You immediately noticed that he is passionate about the cause and that he cares about offering his guests an unforgettable experience.

    Overall, this boat trip was an absolute highlight and an experience I can highly recommend to anyone. It was a perfect mix of relaxation and information.
    Many thanks to the entire team for this wonderful time – we will definitely come back!

    Was für eine unglaublich schöne Bewertung, etwas kurz, ja ;-)... nein, ich glaube nicht, dass wir zuvor eine so schöne und ausführliche Bewertung erhalten haben, vielen Dank dafür, besser hätten wir unsere Kreuzfahrt nicht beschreiben können. Schön zu hören, dass Ihnen unsere kleinere, persönlichere Grachtenfahrt durch Amsterdam vom Anfang bis zum Ende gefallen hat. Und dass unser einzigartiges Boot und unsere lokalen Snacks und Getränke so beliebt waren. Und schließlich sind wir sehr erfreut zu hören, dass unsere Versuche, die beste Kombination zwischen Information und Entspannung zu finden und all die Schönheit zu genießen, die Amsterdam zu bieten hat, so erfolgreich waren. Wir beide können es kaum erwarten, Sie wieder an Bord zu einer weiteren wundervollen Tour durch Amsterdam begrüßen zu dürfen.

    We had such a brilliant time on Sebi’s boat. We saw the recommendation on Instagram and we were not disappointed. We were welcomed onto the boat, we had an introduction and then Sebi took us on a tour of Amsterdam. The weather was rainy but it did not stop the fun, we learned new facts about the city and we questioned Sebi about the history of the city.
    The snacks were great, we stopped to pick up traditional Dutch treats and the drinks flowed throughout - it was a help yourself vibe.
    After the tour we walked to Winkel cafe to get apple pie, I realised I’d left a bag on the boat and it was no trouble for the team to bike up and drop this off with us.
    This tour was amazing, we had a brilliant time, the others on the trip were all good fun, it was great to share our travel stories.
    You have to book this trip….you won’t be disappointed!!!

    Fabulous canal cruise experience this afternoon. The captain imparted his extensive knowledge of the canals bringing to life the history of Amsterdam.Due to the size of the boat he is able to navigate into the smaller canals in the old part of the city. He provided a large selection of drinks and Dutch snacks. Highly recommend this wonderful 2hr cruise, more of a boutique experience.

    We absolutely loved our tour with Sebi! So much better than a large canal boat because he’s able to give more history and go into the smaller canals in the old (medieval) city area also! The snacks were delicious and the music was calm (jazz) - the whole vibe was just relaxed and peaceful! Cannot recommend this more highly! Skip the big boar tours - this is worth it in every way!

    During my stay in Amsterdam, I could have the incredible experience of taking a boat tour on the canals of Amsterdam at sunset. A tour with a small group was planned, but as other people did not book this time, the nice captain Olivier (Sebi) offered me a private tour of more than two hours at the same price. Truly a unique experience. During the trip, in the beautiful boat Giuliana, the captain showed me many magical places in Amsterdam and explained me various aspects and curiosities concerning life in Amsterdam.
    During the trip, after a welcome drink, we also made a short stop, to take a particularly good snacks. I recommend this tour, at very reasonable price, to have a unique experience of Amsterdam, seen from the canals.

    This was a very intimate boat tour - there were only four of us on the boat. The guide was knowledgeable and the trip was two hours, but felt like 30 minutes.

    They served cheeses and fruit and hot small bites, along with wine and mixed drinks.

    Not your average crowded tour boat.

    A wonderful experience and the highlight of our trip! Sebi couldn’t have been more helpful, informative and entertaining. It was great to have that personal touch, with great snacks, collected from his cousins restaurant, flowing drinks (both alcoholic and non) , stories and the beautiful boat…which he has so lovingly restored. The smaller number of passengers meant we all had enough time to ask our own questions and the two hours meant there was no sense of being rushed in any way…plenty of time to take in the wealth of history that is Amsterdam!

    Sebi’s small quiet electric boat, Juliana, only takes about a dozen passengers which means it’s a small group and the boat can take you down canals the big boats can’t get into. Sebi is a fantastic skipper with generous hospitality in both food and drink and even made a brief stop at his cousin’s restaurant for hot Dutch snacks. His knowledge of the city, history and architecture is considerable giving a comprehensive and fascinating tour of Amsterdam. Very highly recommended.
