Yes, parking is available near many canal cruise departure points, but it can be limited and expensive. It's recommended to use public transport, walk, or bike to the boarding location if possible.
Sabrina and Freddy, who were the hosts, made a brilliant day trip. The boat trio was very informative but Sabrina is funny too. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone.
It was a fun experience. The crew told plenty, made personal calls and made nice drinks.
The nice guide was very entertaining, funny and knowledgeable about Amsterdam. I didn't like the cramped seating.
Excellent experience, the only downside was the inconvenience of having to wait an hour because the boat on our schedule did not pass. But then Noah, the tour guide, was very courteous and to apologize, in agreement with the company, we were offered unlimited drinks. All in all it was a good experience.
I had booked the boat trip for French friends. A mother with two young adult children. They loved it! Thanks to a guide who apparently had a good story, they learned a lot about Amsterdam. So thank you very much!
Very interesting tour with a very friendly tour guide and a very humorous skipper. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
It was a nice cruise with an excellent guide. However, on one of the advertisements, I saw information about an “unlimited bar,” which turned out not to be true. I expected soft drinks to be included, but they were also charged separately. That said, everything else was perfect.
The boat was too full, the crew could hardly move and the people on the long sides had no legroom at all, so even an hour was very uncomfortable. The tour itself and the guide were very friendly and entertaining.
The cruise was fine. We went in a small loop and heard three facts about Amsterdam. In its face, it was exactly as advertised, we had a drink, went through canals and learned a few facts. In reality, we were left wanting more.
We had two lovely guides, one who captained the ship. They brought us through the canals and had tons of great facts for us. We had a blast!
Sabrina and the boat driver were awesome. The tour was interesting and fun. The trip itself around the canals was fantastic - I could stay on the boat all day! We upgraded to the drinks option, it was worth it. Really glad we went with this company, the boat was beautiful. Thanks for the memories guys 💛
Ticketing experience online was very good and easy. Boat was very nice, was just expecting a bit more commentary through the cruise.
The tour was the right lenght. Got the see many interesting bridges and houses. There was great difficulty hearing the guid though except when under bridges.
Seating was awkward. The drink waiter, although knowledgeable about the cruise, kept blocking the view of what we were supposed to see.
Super nice staff especially Zoe, Björn and Olivia.
Captain Wim and Skipper Martin took us on a marvelous canal-Cruise with the flower-boat! Would highly recommend!
the guides were very interesting and pleasant
Very friendly boat team, comfortable boat with great views. Interesting information during the tour.
Everything was great, very informative, good hospitality.
The staff was so friendly 😊 God palace you 🙏
Friendly staff and pleasant experience
Great atmosphere, informative guide!
Short but very precise and well informative tour by the ship staff.
Very nice and welcoming. I recommend
A fun way to tour the canals and learn about the history of Amsterdam!
It was really beautiful and our tour guide Rosa was very kind and funny!
I loved our guide Sabrina. She was very nice and funny and explained everything very well. The driver Ilja did a great job as well and sailed us trough the canals of Amsterdam. All in all a great experience for a trip to Amsterdam! Will definitely recommend to others! The company itself is great aswell. With WhatsApp service and fast and kind answers! 10/10
We have done a few canal cruises i Amsterdam over the last years and they are mostly very good....but the ones with Flagship are great. This time Esra was our host and it was great fun. Lots of fun facts and stories. We strongly recommend Flagships, and will ride with you next time
The lovely people who drove and accompanied us were great! We were very lucky to be on the boat with just six people. Fantastic! We were really well served with the drinks flat rate. Thank you very much! Highly recommended!
Hospitality was good, guide was nice
Our recent canal cruise through Amsterdam was an absolute highlight! Gliding through the city's iconic waterways offered a unique perspective of its charming architecture and vibrant atmosphere. The unlimited drinks package was a fantastic addition, ensuring our glasses were always full and spirits high.
I found the atmosphere here super great... Josephine and her colleague really do a great job 👍🏼 We did the tour for the 2nd time and we would do it again every time we visit Amsterdam... simply wonderful ☺️
Het was echt een heerlijke leuke ervaring !! Amsterdam per boot is sowieso fantastisch, maar we hadden een hele leuke schipper en een super leuke tour guide. Mooie dag, gezellig en perfect. Sowieso voor herhaling vatbaar
Wonderful atmosphere on the cruise, very n ice staff, tells a lot of interesting facts and jokes :) We liked it very uch, I definitely recommend it
Great vibe, great guides, would recommend
Lovely exceptional really had a good experience skipper told us all about different places would highly recommend them.
Fun, relaxed but very informative boat tour with knowlegable guide.
Good communication, easy to find and punctual... the tour is very nice and they explain very interesting things about the city...
The team was very informative and funny. Great service. We really enjoyed the hour on the canals with them and highly recommend it.
I highly recommend it to everyone, it was awesome
Great tour with knowledgeable and friendly guide but it was crowded and confusing at the checking point. We booked and paid for this cruise including cheese and none was provided. When I asked the guide I was advised that that inclusion was not happening that day. I should be refunded.
The hosts were knowledgeable, funny, and open to questions. THere was a good balance between information and down time to just enjoy the sights.
The atmosphere. The guides are top-notch, attentive to our needs, their commentaries are original and full of anecdotes, and they're all smiles. The gouda tasting added a touch of originality. I had a great time. Thank you very much.
It was on time. The boat was clean and operated very smoothly. The tour guide was informative, personable and made the entire trip very worthwhile.
The guide told interesting stories. I expected to see the Keizersgracht, Herengracht and Prinsengracht but our tour took us to the eastern part of the city and visited none of those, which was a bit disappointing. Perhaps I should have chosen the other departing point. There was no shade on the spot where we stood waiting for boarding.
The young couple we sat next too were lovely,the guide was amusing he did a great job under the circumstances But they needed 2 people assisting on the boat The young man couldn't be the guide and do the 'unlimited' wine ...which took at least 10 minutes to be offered a glass of!!! So no way 'unlimited ' the cheese was definitely not 'unlimited' It also finished 5 minutes early after starting 15 minutes late it was a beautiful night and so us sitting at the back of the boat had to roll up the plastic blinds which made the view murky I think this 'canal ' cruise could do a lot better for the €€€ they charge
I loved the ride, cheese and wine. As well as the hosts. I would've loved to hear more history and stories about Amsterdam. The host only talked about little bit about the city
We loved the chill vibe and the interesting facts during the Tour. They also gave us a lot of wine and Cheese, we loved that a lot! Our guide Louelle and our skipper Ruben were really fun and nice! We can totally recommend it!
Amazing tour informative and very friendly thank you Melanie and Kevin
Tasty cheeses /very good wine... Excellent service.
The guide was wonderful! She had a great sense of humor and was very informative and answered all of our questions.I'm
It was very Limited cheese. Great guides and a lot of wines.
Great company on the board, and great experience.
Straff, guiding and atmosphere
Excellent, I am very satisfied with the communication and the service received.
The warm welcome. The crew's friendly comments.
The cruise was very lively.
Overcrowded boat, noisy engine. Only profit matters to the company, nothing else..
The day I had a boat tour was the first day of Sail Amsterdam 2025 and it was very impressive. Our guide was charming and all the staff were excellent. It was a brilliant experience.
This walking tour in Amsterdam was the absolute highlight of my vacation in Niederland. We walked through the less touristy parts of the city and was taken through inside alleys - quiet and authentic. Everything is well organized from the boat hopp on hopp off to the public transport.
Fun experience. Tour with a few people at sunset. An alternative tour of the canals from the previous tour taken several years ago with another company starting from Amsterdam Centraal. Young staff and fun in explanations, much better than the tours with a registered guide (previous experience). It must be said that perhaps it would have been better to have had a little more attention in the highlights to be photographed (example the canal with 7 bridges).
Comfortable, good price, friendly crew!
It was a very relaxed tour, tour guide Sarah was also very friendly. Lots of interesting information.
Great reception, super service but especially the "lady-speaker" was great with very good information about the sights along the way, the Amsterdam of Then and Now, facts and (un)truths about the city and all that in a fanstastic and especially humorous way brought. A big thank you for this fun experience - highly recommended!
Great night canal cruise in Amsterdam, cheese and wine. Well worth it
Very nice, great team and a fantastic trip
The guide was awesome!!! We had a really great time
Beautiful and comfortable boat! Great historical and anecdotal commentary. Beautiful to see the city in the evening
The boat was almost empty and because of that the cruise had more of a charm. My favorite part was the Herengracht. And that’s why i loved the cruise.
The advantage went straight to the people sitting by the windows .people who were aisle sitter like me were not able to see most of the buildings and bridges announced by the boat broadcast or by the Captain. Next time I will book an open boat canal tour. Really very disappointing experience.
veeeery nice, for the whole family
The captain of the ship was very educated, sociable and funny. We had a great time.
Pleasant canal cruise with lovely views.
Captain was really informative with a good sense of humour. It's a nice way of seeing most of Amsterdam.
Great captain. Very nice and informative ride.
Just that we could take a tour of the canals.
Rolf was an amazing captain: funny, helpful and very kind. We realize that he really enjoy soing his job. Thanks a lot
The captain of the vessel was very helpfull and he told us all the story of Amsterdan. We are very appreciated.
The canals are beautiful at night and it was a comfortable and beautiful experience!
Great tour, relaxing time, nice People...you can enter your food and enjoy the time without feeeling a tourist.
The tour was very informative. The captain was friendly and the cruising was on a good tempo. Not to fast not to slow.
Friendly crew. Very amusing. The ticketing process was easy.
Nice canal trip around the city, saw a lot!
Very pleasant and informative. We would book again.

We had a super nice boat tour with Vivi and Allard today and celebrated a friend's JGA! Thank you!
The boat was very well conditioned. There were two waiters who attended you at all times and the captain was very friendly and told you about the city. The pizzas were very good and the fact that you can drink whatever you want is fantastic.
We appreciated the bottle of water and the peanuts on arrival. The young people who served us were adorable and helpful, taking great care of us. We would have appreciated comments in French. Too bad. Still, it was a very nice, pleasant cruise.
The service was very courteous, there were nuts and the advertised pizza!
The feeling and the team on the boat
Beautiful experience, good pizza and canal tour with simple and clear explanation. Highly recommended!
The team is great and the pizzas are really good. Really a great welcome, we recommend it to everyone.
Spectacular service and very funny captain.
Informative, relaxing and fun.
Nice event great Burger and a even more great staff...thx for having us,,😎👋
The kindness and helpfulness of the staff, the unlimited drinks and the excellent organization, I would have liked a higher audio of the audio guide and maybe the ability to customize the language
Unlimited Booze? You have caught my attention. A Burger and Brownie? I am officially considering it. All of this on an hour and a half boat trip across the Amsterdam Canal? SOLD
Oh boy did I cheat on my diet today.That was quite possible the best burger I have had in AGES. Not to mention the brownie. Never have I been so satisfied with a cheat meal
I loved how the guides were filling us in with the commentary, but not in an interruptive way. We enjoyed the delicious food and the great city
Listening to fun facts about different buildigs we crossed, while all I had to do was work on finishing this excellent meal of burgers and beers was what I needed
This was such an appealing package to me. I love burgers and beer. It's the best couch potato food ever. And being one myself, you can see why I jumped at the chance!
Fast service
Promo offers
Money is secure and payment gateway is reliable.
Great price and deals. Helpful folks on chat!
Must-visit place! Definitely recommend Headout for booking

The ease of booking process and its reliability is very good. Will use again!
