Really excellent trip from a knowledgeable and really friendly Captain Jack. He made us feel at home straight away. The included bar helped and we enjoyed a glass of wine even thought it was only midday. We saw some places we had not seen before and have places to visit on our next trip. We thoroughly enjoyed it and the 90 minutes flew by. We cannot recommend enough. For us this is the only way to see Amsterdam by boat.

Captain Jack is a fountain of knowledge! The ride was great, the drinks were flowing and the narrative about Amsterdam was amazing. Only 8 pp total so highly recommend this tour.

What a great experience. Captain Jack made you feel like family from the start. He has a great sense of humor and had us laughing. Having a max of only 8 passengers makes the experience even more special. You get to know your fellow passengers. I highly recommend Captain Jack for your canal cruise.

Fantastic trip! I would highly recommend this! Jack knew everything about the canals and the city and its history. Hilarious commentary too! The boat was extremely comfortable. This is a must on any Amsterdam holiday.

With hundreds of canal tour boats to choose from, why should you choose Captain Jacks small group all inclusive tour? For Captain Jack, of course! Jack is a young business entrepreneur in the canal tour business. He’s an Amsterdam native and resident. He’s a witty guy and keeps you quite entertained while you sip your wine or beer as you glide through the canals. Small group as promised. One of our favorite tours in Amsterdam.

The canal trip was excellent because of our guide and navigator. He had everyone on board laughing and made the trip interesting and funny. With only 8 adults on board it felt sociable and not crowded. He was a careful navigator, necessary because the canals were so busy. He was very caring of the children on board and made sure it was fun for them too. The wine and beer was a bonus.

Best cruise tour ever! We didnt realize when we booked this trip that it was Kings Day! The entire city was a party town and it was impossible to move! Our driver was running late but Jack called me… talked to my driver and we got out to walk. Jack met us a 100 yards from his boat and got us through the crowd! We ended up only 3 minutes late . Now the tour was great! Jack took us everywhere and we saw just about every highlight of the city including the bridge from Ted Lasso to the tilted buildings, the red light district and more! Jack and his hostess were wonderful. Plenty of fresh snacks soft drinks and alcohol if it fancys you ! With a max of 8 on his boat it was so much nicer then the sardine packed 10 euro trips ! Make sure you book this Capn Jack. Not the other :)

This was a terrific 90 minute cruise around the canals of Amsterdam. Captain Jack is extremely entertaining and also tremendously educated in both the history and current environment of the Netherlands.

We had a lovely time with Captain Jack on his boat and one of the highlights of our weekend in the Dam. Very informative, relaxed with great banter and a fully stocked bar to keep you busy. Thank you!

Jack was delightful, meeting us with great panache and drinks of our choice. The bubbly was delicious. We had a blue sky day which made everything more enjoyable. His local knowledge, sense of humor and social ease made this cruise experience!

Fantastic experience! The only canal boat tour to take. We had no interest in the large commercial boat tours, so this was perfect. Capped at 8 people, quality drinks and snacks, and nice history and stories about Amsterdam. Can sit outside with blankets or inside with heat. Run by a true Amsterdam native.

I booked the small group boat tour and it was a lovely experience. The boat was electric hence no noise and we were a small group of tourists so it felt more intimate, add to that the boat being small and able to cruise the smaller canals made us avoid the traffic out there and provided a really nice look at Amsterdam in the golden light of the late afternoon. Jack himself was friendly and always ready with a new bit of information as we sailed past various sections of the city. I'd recommend this for a canal tour in Amsterdam.

Captain Jack is a knowledgeable and entertaining host piloting his own very comfortable electric boat and leading us through lovely scenic and interesting canals of Amsterdam. Drinks were generous and varied, both alcoholic and nonalcoholic. My only disappointment was with the snacks which were limited to the rather uninteresting highly processed salty variety.

We booked the max 8 people trip and ended up being the only guests. It was a cold and drizzly day so we needed to remain inside which should have been fine but the windows are very high and you see very little if seated. No table cloth and flowers as pictured but he does have a full open self serve bar. The tour was fine but if I had seen the boat before we booked through the hotel, I would have chosen another company.

My partner and I were scheduled to take Captain Jack’s group tour on a day when it was rainy and blustery. He personally called me and rescheduled to the next day, when we lucked into a private tour. I sat in the captain’s chair alongside him and my partner basked in the sunshine outside on the back of the boat and enjoyed the free champagne. Captain Jack is not only a very friendly guy, he is incredibly knowledgeable. As a professional historian myself, I can say that a conversation with Captain Jack was one of the best learning experiences of my life. We both came away from this tour with a greater appreciation for the city and its unique canal system — and my partner got to live out her dream of being on a boat. This tour was by far our best experience in Amsterdam and Captain Jack made it so. He is a wonderful host and raconteur and we would go back to Amsterdam just to take his tour again.

We had a great trip with captain jack, not only was it great fun it was very informative too. Lots of stories, interesting facts too. Highly recommend this to anyone. Loved the fact it was a smaller group too, much more personal. Would do it again for sure
