Raindrops not falling on my head! - We enjoyed our tour with Ricky so much! It had started to rain just before our schedued open boat tour, so Stromma put us with Ricky's covered boat tour instead. His sense of humour and knowledge of the canals made it an excellent way to spend a rainy evening in Amsterdam :) Thanks, Ricky!

Awesome night cruise - Awesome night cruise. Had a great captain who was entertaining but not intrusive or annoying. Night cruise was beautiful, highly recommend. We did a day cruise through blue boats which was also good, but this night cruise was better and enjoyed the captain with a mic vs headphones and recording on blue boat.

Entertaining Canal Cruise in Amsterdam - It was an unforgettable experience. The beautiful canals of Amsterdam, lined with historic buildings and picturesque scenery, provided a stunning backdrop for the journey. The audio guide was informative, offering interesting insights into the city's rich history, architecture, and culture.
A special mention must go to our boat captain, Ricky Frans. His exceptional hospitality and warm demeanour made the cruise even more enjoyable. Ricky’s entertaining commentary and knowledgeable guidance added a personal touch that made the tour feel both intimate and engaging.
I highly recommend this canal cruise to anyone visiting Amsterdam. It’s a perfect way to see the city from a unique perspective, and with Captain Ricky Frans at the helm, you're guaranteed a memorable and entertaining journey.

through the canals and many bridges - We had walked around Amsterdam but from the boat level we saw many more sights.
The vessel went well and was clean. The driver was competent. Stromma is actually at a lower price than some of its competitors

DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY ON THIS. GO LITERALLY ANYWHERE ELSE. WASTE OF MONEY. - I didn’t hear a single word. Audio guides in many languages need headphones to avoid competing with each other. SO ANGRY

Find another cruise - Extremely unfriendly! The employee on the boat could be a little nicer to his customers.
I never write a negative review, but this is really scandalous!

4 friends and a boat trip in Amsterdam - Shorter tour than expected, 19 languages for the audio guide but headphones are paid for (this was not communicated to us at the time of booking). The captain tried to give entertaining information but to no avail.
I don't recommend it.
