My fiancée and I had a thoroughly enjoyable time cruising the canals of Amsterdam with Captain Spronk! He has extraordinary knowledge about the history of Amsterdam. We loved that we cruised at a leisurely pace while having the delicious cheese, nuts, tomatoes, strawberries, chocolate and our choice of drink! The experience was well worth the price to have a lovely private cruise! We highly recommend cruising with Captain Spronk and we shall remember it with fondly as one of the highlights of our trip!!

A Great Way to See A Lot in a Little Amount of Time.

Amy_P, Jul 2023

For our first trip to Amsterdam, we decided to take a canal trip in order to see more of the city than we'll have time to see, and I'm really glad we did. We had to reschedule our trip because of Storm Poly, and Reinhard was great about making time for us. He's every bit as personable, knowledgeable and friendly as every review says he is, and couldn't have been more wonderful. We're staying in the museum district, and he dropped us off right by the Rijksmuseum to minimize our walk back. The whole experience from start to finish was absolutely wonderful, and we can't recommend it highly enough.

Wonderful stroll down the canal

Precious_M, Sep 2022

Captain Bryan was absolutely fantastic and entertaining. He was ready for us outside of our hotel (W Amsterdam) which was great because we were literally in Amsterdam for 24 hours and the less walking the better. The boat was ready with wine and cheese plates. He gave us a lot of great information about Amsterdam, its history and culture. Our group loved it!!! would recommend! We went at sunset which was really romantic.

Extraordinary Private Canal Cruise

Terrific Introduction to Amsterdam

Matthew_D, Jul 2022

This canal cruise was the first thing my family did upon arriving in Amsterdam, and it was one of the highlights of our visit. Captain Spronk was friendly and informative, and his historic boat was absolutely beautiful. I can't think of a better introduction to the city than sipping champagne while cruising the canals.

Excellent tour! Not to be missed.

J_R, Jul 2022

Were a family of five including grandparents and a pre-teen. Everyone had an amazing time! We would highly recommend this to anyone! It was a very special way to see the city. One of our top highlights for certain.

Lovely Private Canal Tour

Superb Personal Attention & Informationally Rich

susankuhn1, Jan 2020

At 3 PM on a crisp September afternoon Rederij De Jordaan eased his immaculately maintained, sleek salon boat alongside the dock and welcomed us aboard with a gracious smile, chocolate covered strawberries, cheese and wine. What was billed as a 1.5 hour tour became a fascinating & informative cruise of more than 2 hours around Amsterdam Harbor during which he generously shared an obvious love for his city and its rich history. We could not have been more pleased with his service. If you consider a tour of this type you MUST book him!

If this is in your budget, I would...

Kristopher S, Feb 2017

If this is in your budget, I would highly encourage you to take a private boat tour with Capt Reinhard Spronk. His boat is absolutely beautiful and he is a great tour guide. We had a small group of just four and it was definitely a highlight of our trip to Amsterdam. He guided us through the canal Festival of Lights and talked about other points of interest along the way. We unanimously agree that we would take another cruise with him the next time we are in Amsterdam - because it was that GREAT! We had a lovely selection of cheese, meat and nuts as well as a fully stocked bar. Don't miss an opportunity to have your own private boat tour of the Amsterdam canals. Reinhard is a top notch host and very easy to communicate with for planning purposes.
