Although it was not my first visit to Amsterdam, we were in town with a friend who hadn't yet, and a canal boat tour is a must. They may seem kitschy to some, but this specific tour is a very low key and relaxing hour-long cruise around the main canals. Our host Ana was informative and polite, and Capt Jergen was polite and professional (and funny too!)
If it's your first visit and you prefer a refined but casual boat tour, I'd recommend seeing the city from the water with this cruise.

Just one canal back and close to Anne Frank House, we boarded Salonboat for an hour's cruise along Keizergracht, Amstel, & Herengracht canals returning to our boarding pier.
Two young women (Jiska & Jenna) offered just enough English guiding information on what could be seen out of the windows and Amsterdam life, the captain (Bob) gave a turn too. Sometimes the engine noise drowned out the guides, otherwise they were clear, witty and personable.
Free generic cheese available and a paid option to drink if you need alcohol or soft drinks during the hour's tour.
Quite a young set of female passengers, perhaps due to good social media marketing, all in all a recommended tourist experience. Steep steps into the boat means this is not accessible for infirm and there is a toilet on board

A well organised 1hr boat trip with enthusiastic young tour guides (Jul & Mark) telling interesting stories about Amsterdam as we cruised the river. We were served 2 types of Dutch cheese and along with red & white wine there was also a selection of soft drinks. The boat is comfortable with a roof and open sides offering good views. Very glad we booked this.

What a great way to spend an hour! We had such a good time in this cruise, the team of Diederick, Fran and Milo were brilliant. Milo ensured the cheese and wine flowed, Diederick captained the boat and Fran was just brilliant with his informative and funny commentary. Well worth the money and would do it again.

I booked this tour and it was one of my favorite events in amsterdam. I will say I was a little confused why it appears to be booked through captain hack but you really go through another company. I sort of expected a real person named jack (or at least one of his friends) to be taking us out on his own boat. Also there were photos of different boats shown under the your- the correct image was the boat with a top on it. The wine and cheese was aplenty and I think almost everyone had a good time. There was a group in the back of the boat that was behind glass so they were pretty much excluded from hearing anything and just had their own discussions. Margarita did a great job answering questions and entertaining everyone while serving drinks. I would definitely do this tour again and recommend it. Wish it was even longer.

We decided to try the cruise in Amsterdam to see the sights and views, and you can't go wrong with cheese and wine/beer!! The team of Ferry,Nathan/Joos were great talking about the history of the city and landmarks, making it fun and engaging. Thank you guys for a fun and enjoyable experience of seeing the city on the canal. We did a 5 - 5:30pm tour with free cheese and wine/beer.

I only had a few hours late afternoon in Amsterdam, and asked at my hotel what they recommend? Without hesitation, we were told, take a Captain Jack open boat canal tour. As an added benefit, beer, wine, cheese, sausages, and snacks were provided, without limits.
We were incredibly lucky to get Captain Jackeline (their only female skipper) who not only guided traffic throughout the canal ride, (advising all the tourists that they are going down the wrong way on the 'one way canals') she was full of information, for the entire 1.5 hour tour. The tour is very interactive, and the more questions we asked, she became more excited.
She is great fun, personable and made us all feel welcome.

I really enjoyed this. There was plenty of cheese and wine for an hour's journey along the canals of Amsterdam. The staff - Zita and Rick, with Chuck at the wheel - were friendly hosts and full of interesting information about the sites and the history of this beautiful city. Would strongly recommend.

We had Kat, Capt Jacklyn, and she was fabulous. She had a great sense of humor that kept us all laughing and in good cheer. She was knowledgeable about the city and knew some genuinely interesting fun facts about the buildings, bridges, and boats around the canals.

Great option to learn a little about the geography and history of Amsterdam. On a sunny day the view is beautiful. Allows for wonderful photos. In an intimate and relaxed atmosphere we spent a very pleasant hour with explanations from Karen and Sal, tasting great wine and delicious cheeses, to your heart's content.
