Everyone must take a boat tour of Amsterdam. We chose Captain Dave's Tour due to great ratings…read more The tour was very interesting, informative and enjoyable. Our tour guide for the day was very laid back and shared a lot a history and facts about the city while guiding this extremely cool ship throughout the many canals of this amazing city. Served drinks and snacks along the way. I would sit near the front (by the captain) because sometimes she was hard to hear. Being brand new to the city, it was a little challenging finding the boat, there are no signs identifying the cruse. Use the address on the houses to find its docking spot. Our original trip was canceled but we were automatically booked on an earlier one. Little bit of a snafu with double billing, but got it worked out by texting Captain Dave himself.

What a fantastic experience with Captain Dave Amsterdam!! We booked the holiday lights tour online,…read moreand easily found the pickup spot. I was with my husband and our 5 year old daughter, and we joined a few others, maybe 8. The boat was clean, large, warm and comfortable, and we were offered soft drinks, mulled wine, hot cocoa or beer/wine for our trip. The captain was so friendly and very knowledgeable, sharing so many facts about Amsterdam and the canals. The holiday lights were wonderful to see. At one point in the tour, he let our little one (the only child in the group) drive the boat, which was the highlight of her whole trip to Amsterdam. I recommend this company to anyone visiting Amsterdam who wants to see it from a different perspective than the typical tourist view. 10/10!!

A nice value if you have a long day and want to "hop on and hop off". But you must note that if…read moreyou want to simply tour around the canals one time for 60-75 minutes, you can take a different canal tour for 5-7 Euros less. It was a quality boat with lots of space. Seating is booth style with a table. It was raining outside and the windows fogged up some but that isn't their fault. The information provided by the recording on the ship was minimal (which some people may like). It was really great but then again, everything in Amsterdam is. I did like how the line provided three different tour routes and if you had 3-4 hours, you can go on as many as you want. I don't even recall them checking our tickets...very friendly crew.

This was a good tour that started rather inauspiciously as our small group was blocked twice from…read moreentering the Red Light District due to a heavy police presence and an on-site uniformed forensics team collecting physical evidence. It turned out that a working prostitute was stabbed to death by a customer while inside her window space just a matter of minutes before our group arrived. On a third try geographically farther down we successfully entered Amsterdam's main Red Light District. Different than Hamburg, where women are not allowed inside the city's designated Red Light District, here men and women are permitted to congregate together, and bars and restaurants abound in addition to sex shops, live shows, and working girls standing in windows along narrow alleyways off main streets. The women showing themselves to potential customers were by and large tall and quite attractive. Except for the presence of the human window displays, a passerby might think he or she was just in any other fun area of a major metropolitan city. Tour guide Kimberly provided interesting facts and historical commentary about the district as Diane, I, and the rest of our group walked several blocks as sightseers. The atmosphere on the streets was convivial, as several loud bar goers could be seen and heard imbibing beer and other alcoholic beverages just inside the front of several taverns dotting a main street. Both tourists and locals were in abundance in the early evening when our 90-minute tour unfolded. It ended with an included drink at a local bar/restaurant just outside the Red Light District. From what we were told, this type of tour inside the district may soon be legislated out of existence by local lawmakers, and strong political interests are seeking to push the prostitutes out of this special zone altogether. The recent murder of a professional prostitute here in plain daylight will likely provide additional fodder for the critics who argue that prostitution is inherently dangerous, and should not be legally protected or allowed in a special authorized geographical zone. So, if such a tour as this is of interest, it should be booked very soon.

This was a great tour. It was hilarious and informative…read more It was best way to be a tourist incognito. And the best way to see the city at night with a local as your guide. Kim (the fantastic tour guide) takes you all around the city and shows you where to find the good coffeeshops, smartshops, bars, sex shops, live sex shows, hookers and anything else you'd like to spend your money on. Kim was friendly, funny and answered ANY questions we had. The tour lasted about an hour and a half and was €12.50. We went on the 10pm tour on a Saturday night and really had a good time. So thank you Kim, I'm an Amsterdam hooker specialist now thanks to you.

After reading the great reviews, I booked the last tour of the day and hoped to catch a little bit of sunset. It turned out that our walking skills were better than we anticipated and we got to the boat 39 minutes early. We were excited to find out that we could use our tickets on a boat that left a half and hour earlier. Thanks for the flexibility! Chris and Carrie were excellent hosts. They offered drinks for a nominal fee, colorful commentary about the history of the city and even let me drive the boat! Yeah, crazy right? Chris was such a great Captain that he even helped me steer straight through the canals like nobody's business. If you want to get a guided tour of Amsterdam without the mass tourist crowd and a completely open boat to take photos, this tour is for you. They will answer any questions you have and make sure you enjoy the trip. Thank you for the awesome experience!

After a bunch of research we decide on hungry birds, and it was a good decision. Our guide for the tour was Anne, as you proved to be a little ball of positive energy that was totally appreciated. She handled controversial issues well, and introduced us to many of the tastes of the market. We tasted everything from fresh Herring to smoke deal to sought after, cookies and we seem to have a back door, no line access to everything. If you'd like to stop reading now is a good point but know that we are big fans of Angry Birds We met at the designated location, introduced ourselves to the other people on the tour and then Anne showed up. She arrived bearing cookies, and my wife and I had actively sought out these cookies just the day before as we had seen them on Instagram. We waited for 15 minutes in line to buy our Van Stapele cookies and here she was showing up with a fresh batch to share with us to get the party started. It was a great start. We then moved onto multiple quality tastes. My wife, ever the brave soul, volunteered to taste the whole fresh Herring that was offered to her, served in the traditional fashion of the seasonal run of the fresh Herring. So it arrived on a plate with onions and pickles, and Leah was taught how to hold the Herring by picking it up from its tail, adding the onions and the pickles and then taking a bite. Mind you the fish had been deboned and cleaned, but it looked every bit of a fish without the head. I volunteered to try a couple of bites as well and enjoyed it. This was at the Volendammer Vishandel, and there was no doubt about the fish being fresh as the place was very busy I don't want to go on and on and ruin your trip to the food tour and so I'll stop here but the combination of the energetic tour guide and the unique stories told made it a very quick four hour tour that I would encourage my friends to take.
