Highly highly recommend if you're looking to do a canal cruise in Amsterdam. I found Mokumboot…read morethrough the I Amsterdam Card (the cruise is included in the card) and decided to book because it was the only company on the card with an open boat. 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!

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!

Rode my bike over to ROEIcentrum - the "Rowing Center" to learn how to row a boat on the Amstel…read more Was with a group of lady friends and we all gathered together while Pablo showed us how to get in and out of the boat (I didn't know you could step right through the bottom of the boat if you step in the wrong place), and the correct way to hold the oar and row in synch. The "in synch" part is critical - otherwise, you're going around in circles and hooting in fear. After some instruction inside in the tank, we were out on the river four to a boat, with an instructor up front telling us why our skinny little boat wouldn't topple over and when to "go." I focused on rowing in synch with the person up front, and making sure I didn't drag my oar - which did all kinds of crazy things to the boat's stability and made us all shriek. And after awhile, I got into the rhythm of it and didn't think of anything but the sun at my back and rowing. I'm going back in early July to take lessons - which are tres reasonable (just EU 100 for 7 weeks). Additional bonus: the female instructor who headed up our boat had the most beautifully toned arms....surely, if I keep rowing this will happen to me!

Flagship Biking Tours was a great experience - we did the bike tour into the countryside with Skip…read more(excellent tour guide). 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.

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.

Opted for the open air boat, and not surprisingly, there were only three of us during this trip that lasted for about an hour so. Sure, it was cold, but nothing too bad at all as the sun was out. Also, they provided blankets and hot tea. Most people understandably choose to ride in the covered boats during this time of year, but your view is quite limited. With this smaller boat, you're able to get 360, unobstructed views of the city from the canals. And the smaller, open air boats are able to squeeze through tighter tunnels and can go where the larger covered boats can't. Of course, during the summer, these guys are super popular for obvious reasons. You won't be fortunate enough to get a seemingly private tour like we did. Shout out to our teenage captain for making the trip more entertaining than it already was. Forgot his name (my bad bro if you're reading this), but he was a pleasant young man who gave us a bit of history and interest facts about the city as we rode through the canals. Extremely satisfying experience and worth it for sure.
