Kindness trump! - Very friendly and helpful staff. The boat trip has explanations in several languages. A beautiful, extensive tour was made over the various canals and behind the central station. It was blissful at the back of the boat without a roof. Definitely worth repeating.

Best price from anne frank. - So glad we did this. Booked online as a family ticket so cheaper. Wasn't totally packed. Captain points out stuff from pre recorded tour. Saw 7 bridges. Went from anne frank house. 1 hour tour.

Cozy canal cruise - We wanted to take our dog on the canal cruise and at this shipping company that was possible. We enjoyed the cruise and the captain told very nice stories about Amsterdam.

Very nice - We took a tour of the city for just over an hour. 4 languages were available on board and we learned a lot, with fun anecdotes! In addition, a touching little family story 😊 (There is an open sky on board!)

Good canal cruise - It was a pleasant cruise. Staff was nice. I was expecting a little bit more history and knowledge from the guide however it was just a pre-taped recording of some points of interests along the way.

Disorganised & poor communication - Me and my partner were waiting for about 45 mins at provided pick-up spot near Centraal Station in Amsterdam and the boat never showed up. We even called the main office - they said the boat might be running late and that they would call back with updates. It never happened and the boat was nowhere to be seen. I have emailed and expecting my refund soon. Not good customer service, poor communication and I 100% DON'T recommend booking with Amsterdam Circle Line! Stay away!

Trip cancelled without notifying us - No canal boats could leave from the departure point because of the Pride Parade in the canal. Viator should have known not to schedule a trip on that date and time. How do we get a refund?
