Wonderful ride along the canals filled with great stories about the area and some of what we were seeing. The crew was great, friendly, professional and personable! The covered boat was cozy with blankets so the December night air not an issue to think about. Friendship in a Storm is now our favorite cocktail! Thank you for a great experience.

Don’t book

They lisy the wrong address on the tour. When we got there we were told that was not the spot to be. They gave us a new spot to go to and no one was there. Didn’t get to take tour.

Do not recommend

Absolutely awful and I am shocked by all the positive reviews. It seems there are a ton of tours a day run by this company so maybe there are a huge range of experiences that could be largely defined by who else is on your tour. It was cold and rainy and the "luxury tour" only had 4 blankets for 20 people and my group did not get one of the four so we were freezing. Everyone on our boat just wanted to get wasted so we didn't get a tour really and they took up most of the bartender's time. The captain tried to give some pointers on what we were passing but it was just kind of a chaotic scene and we didn't learn anything about what we were passing.

Would choose another option

We did three different canal cruises in Amsterdam and this one was by far the worst one. Very hard to hear the guides and minimal information given about Amsterdam or landmarks seen. They also prioritized people who didn’t book tickets and didn’t save room for those who had tickets. Another couple (who had tickets) was asked to come back at a later time. Don’t count on being served more than one drink!

10/10

Stevie_L, Apr 2024

Joop & Tata were the perfect captain/hostess combo! They both had lots of fun and interesting stories to tell us about the history of Amsterdam. It was awesome meeting other people taking the tour as well. 10/10 recommend!

Super cruise

Awesome experience

Elsie_C, Apr 2024

We had a very lovely experience with our hosts who have great knowledge of yhe city. We enjoyed the captivating sites and architecture while also Learning the history of the city. There isn't enough space to put down all the lovely things we experience.i would recommend this canal cruise to anyone who is visiting Amsterdam. In addition highly recommend ask for the 'Friendship in a bottle' while on board the cruise 😊.

Friendly company .. definitely recommend them !

Melanie_D, Mar 2024

We booked our cruise through Viator and used the Friendship Cruise , it was Bram I spoke to and Teunis and Luna were our hosts on the Cruise and they were great, very friendly and knowledgeable , drinks were great too,we were given blankets in case we were cold , tour was just over an hour , definitely recommend the Friendship Company .

6pm Drink tour

graham_w, Mar 2024

CHECK THE MEETING POINT. one is wrong. Nice way to see some more of Amsterdam. Boat crew were great. With a bit of a sing along.

Pick a different company

Sandra_H, Mar 2024

Overbooked tour we had a 520 pm tour and boat was full. Had to wait for 620 pm tour. No fault of tour guides but couldn't hear anything due to overfill booking

Just what we wanted.

coral_m, Mar 2024

Such a nice trip, staff were friendly and gave some information along the way, not too much so that you can also talk amongst yourselves but enough to give you points of conversation. Beautiful city, really loved this boat cruise. Well done and thanks to the crew.

Scam company! Stay away

Bimal_P, Mar 2024

I’d leave 0 stars if that was a possibility. First of all, they sent us to the wrong address. StationSplein 18 is not where these people operate from. And when we asked for a refund because we couldn’t take the trip at a later time (because now we had to do to a different location), they said they can’t do that and offered 0 explanation. This is a scam. Stay away

Awesome experience!!! 5 Stars

Deanna_S, Mar 2024

Awesome experience with Pascal and Timo. Very personable and informative in a funny way! Skipper Pascal allowed my husband to steer the boat which made the experience extremely memorable for him. Get the drink package, it is worth it. Tip the guys well!!! Would definitely recommend. Oh, and start out with the “Friendship” shot or drink. It’s so smooth and delicious, it is sure to warm you.

Wonderful

Damara_A, Mar 2024

A great experience with Friendship team. Knowledgeable and professional team who cracked old-but-gold jokes.

Olga_K, Mar 2024

Joost and Timo made for a great time on a rainy day. 10/10 would recommend. I love getting the drink package as well!

A good hour in Amsterdam

Caitlin_S, Feb 2024

This was exactly as advertised! The weather was less than ideal, but the crew kept us upbeat and the drinks flowing. Janine was an informative and entertaining captain, and Wesley was an excellent host who always made sure our drinks were full.

Great vibe

Jeneve_H, Feb 2024

I went with my daughter. Great for adults Do and Janine was great. It was convenient for us and close to our hotel. We got the luxury package, inclusive of drinks. A snack would be great.
