This specific tour started in the city center and then moved to the countryside for a stop at a local farm with cheese and farm animals. Recommendation: stick to regular bikes and skip the e-bike option. The e bikes are expensive and are a bit of a hassle to keep turning back on after each stop. Bike ride was about 12 miles but very flat, so beginners will be fine. Flagship was very accommodating and due to an issue with our booking, was able to offer either a free boat tour or partial refund. Kind people, consider supporting the business!

I was so disappointed when it was time to board the boat to find we were on an enclosed vessel. To make matters worse we were first to board and were seated in a very small booth with another couple. Our table had plates of cheese to be handed out to passengers who had purchased a wine and cheese experience. When I made our reservation no where was it stated this was part of our cruise. So here we are breathing over plates of cheese that weren't for us. To make things worse we were seated next to the bathroom which kept getting used over the hour. Because it was an enclosed boat, I could only see if I cranked my neck to the left. Forget seeing anything out the opposite of the boat other than car tires from the cars parked along the canal. The guides were fine. I just wish I would have known which boat we were going to be on and wine and cheese were being served. I would have book a different boat.

We aimed for the 8:45PM slot for sunset views and it was a great way to end the day! Pick-up and drop-off are at the same dock. I'm not sure if private tours are the default but our group was large enough to fill up a boat. We also had unlimited beer, wine, and soda for the whole experience. Unfortunately, you won't be able to bring anything else on board so keep the hard liquor at home! Our tour guide (Elena) was fantastic and I really liked how she just matched our vibe. In the beginning, she asked what kind of tour we wanted like educational or to be left alone. We opted for educational and learned so many interesting facts about the city. We got history, culture, and current events and she knew most of the answers to our questions. At the end, she gave us some great recommendations for nightlife in the city. Elena also did the entire tour in English! Highly recommend if it's your first time in Amsterdam!

Making reservations was easy online and the boat was easy to find. We essentially had a semi private tour because there were only 3 other guests on board. Mike and our Captain made it such a fun, safe, and enjoyable experience. Because it was an open boat we got to take amazing pictures and even got to touch the underside of the bridges for good luck. It sprinkled lightly for a few minutes during our tour but they have plenty of clear umbrellas on board. Check out Mokumboot! You won't regret it!

This open boat - the ONLY way to do this experience - carried us down the Amsterdam canals and it was the perfect way to wrap my trip to Amsterdam. Mike and Mariah are knowledgeable, courteous guides and they made the trip that much more pleasurable with their history lessons. Drinks are available and the first one is on the house (boat)! Will I ever have the chance again to sip white wine while cruising the Amsterdam canals? Maybe not, but thank goodness I got to do it once. Recommend using your I Amsterdam card for this experience (20 euro otherwise) and, don't worry, there's not a bad seat on the boat. Thank you very much, Mike and Mariah!

Sure, the wine wasn't the greatest (or good), but sometimes you just need to relax and not try to get your money's worth in booze. The staff was super friendly, and it's more a booze cruise than a tour, so no PA and no tour guide, though Pam was awesome and more than happy to provide us with tips for exploring the city. Awesome way to kill an hour or so.

Such an intimate boat with an open bar, charcuterie board, and friendly tour guide. I made four or five mimosas before I calmed down. We asked questions about living in the Netherlands that are rather unconventional, and he still managed to answer all of them. He managed to balance guiding the boat and conversing with all guests very well. He also stopped for all the guests to take photos at particularly scenic points in our tour. Definitely worth it to take your tour in the evening while the sun is setting and the weather isn't too hot! Most people who came were celebrating engagements or honeymoons. If that doesn't speak to the testament of the quality of this place, I don't know what does! Trusting a spot with one of the few important moments in your life where you don't splurge is impressive. We definitely passed by our fair share of other boat cruises, and this one has the most lovely interior. The high rating on Yelp is well deserved. What a memorable moment of our Amsterdam trip.
