Great Tour of Canals!!!
Molly_C
, Aug 2022
I did some searching before purchasing this boat tour (since there are so many). It was absolutely wonderful! Sebi was friendly and knowledgeable. He provided us drinks, and cold and hot appetizers. I can’t say anything about the other tours (because this my only one), but book this one! You won’t be disappointed. The highlight of time in Amsterdam.
Response from Host , Aug 2022
Dear Molly,
We are very happy that you have chosen us after you search for a boat cruise in Amsterdam and even more happy to see that you had a wonderful time on board with us!
Thank you for your recommendation and taking the time to write this great review.

Sabastian was excellent! We enjoyed learning about Amsterdam. He served yummy snacks. I highly recommend to all take this cruise especially at night. It is a must!

This is a fantastic canal tour. Small group on a beautifully restored boat and Sebi was an execellent captain/guide!
Absolutely everything...

Absolutely everything from the very first moment!
The captain-a Mr. Jung- was just exceptional. The condition and quality of the refreshments. The snacks and food, his knowledge, every single element was superb. Far, FAR, better than any other canal cruise I've ever been on!!
Response from Host , May 2022
Hi Douglas,
So so great to hear you had your best canal cruise experience with us!
We try to give each and every guest a personal, relax and comfortable tour of Amsterdam which I think worked out perfectly for you!
We do hope we get another chance soon to welcome you back on board for another superb tour of Amsterdam!
Cruise the canals For 2 hours in peace and quiet

Perfect peaceful cruise. We floated down the canals for two hours enjoying the scenery and listening to the captain’s unobtrusive commentary while nibbling on a variety of hot and cold snacks. Just what I was looking for!
Response from Host , Apr 2022
Hi Carol,
Amazing review!
And we just love to hear you were totally comfortable and relax aboard and enjoyed our drinks, snacks and personal approach while taking in the beauty of Amsterdam to the fullest.
You were the guests we are looking for as well!
Hopefully we can welcome you back aboard soon for another peaceful cruise!
Sebi is a Legend!
Guilherme_M

Sebi was a legend. Tour was smooth, lots of drinks and great food to snack. As a small operator, Sebi went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable at all times. A large tour boat would not provide the same experience. Definitely recommend and would use it again
Response from Host , Apr 2022
Magnificent review! Exactly what we love to hear from our guests. We really appreciate that you appreciated our efforts to make you feel comfortable and provide nice Dutch snacks and drinks while enjoying our beloved city from the water!
We can't wait to welcome you back for another legendary tour of Amsterdam!
Absolute experience you should have😀

Response from Host , Oct 2021
Hello Lars,
Your review is exactly the reaction we hope for every time! We strive to offer a relax and beautiful tour with nice drinks and snacks on our unique boat and with our personal approach each and every time we do a tour!
Thank you very much for joining and hopefully we can welcome you back soon.
Best canal tour possible!

This tour was a totally unexpected surprise. The boat is beautiful, Sebi was a wonderful host, and the snacks were delicious. Overall, I would rate this as one of the top things for someone to do in Amsterdam. A wonderful two hours!
Response from Host , Oct 2021
Dear Deborah,
So lovely to hear that your experience with us was even better than you expected, that really makes us smile!
We also believe that a tour on a boat is one of the highlights of Amsterdam and we also believe that with our unique boat, food and snack options and especially the professional and personal guidance of captain Sebi we offer one of the better tours in the city!
We can't wait to welcome you back for another memorable tour of Amsterdam!
The best Amsterdam canal tour!
Lawrence_K

The entire trip to Amsterdam was highlighted by the wonderfully tour by Sebi. Between his personal knowledge of the city and the fabulous charcuterie and drinks provided, he has the consummate evening tour. Nothing could be better on the canals!! Thank you Sebi!!!
Response from Host , Sep 2021
Change your schedule if you have to and make sure you get this tour!!!
Clinton_F

This is by far the best canal tour in Amsterdam. We were met at the dock in advance by Olivier and ensured we were in the correct location. The boat arrived early and we were given instructions by Sebastian (Sebi) on boarding safely and assisted with getting on board. There was a beautiful bouquet of flowers, a large selection of chilled wine, and plenty of cold beer and spirits as well as soft drinks and water. There can't be a more knowledgable guide on the canals of Amsterdam than Sebi. Some of the places, sites, people and historical information he explained can only be expressed by a person who has devoted himself to learning the city and canals. The boat itself is a historic icon of Amsterdam. It is a 100 year old restored treasure and you should look your best when you're on board because people on the streets and bridges will be taking your picture! It was refitted with an electric engine so there's no loud engine noise or gas fumes to smell. It is a very quiet, environmentally friendly tour. About 15 minutes into the tour, there was a stop to get an hors d'oeuvres tray with some local appetizer favorites that were delicious. The tour itself was very well timed and Sebi seems to really enjoy what he does and doesn't rush. He was a pleasure to spend the tour with and made us feel like we were longtime friends and not customers. It was obvious that he was a well respected captain on the canals. A lot of the other guides and captains waved and obviously knew him very well. If you want to do a canal tour in Amsterdam, work your schedule around to ensure you get this one. There's no way you'll find a better one.
Response from Host , Sep 2021
Wow Wow Wow, what an unbelievable great and extensive review, thank you so so much!!!
I haven't seen a more detailed review, from start till end of our experience, it really makes us proud!
And you have confirmed exactly that our approach from the start at the dock, our unique boat, our snacks and drinks and especially the personal and professional attention of Captain Sebi is being appreciated so much!
We can't wait to welcome you back for another beautiful tour through Amsterdam!
A must do tour!
Shawnti_C

Our tour with Sebi was fantastic!! He had a wonderful setup of snacks and drinks for us on the boat and shared lots of great information about the city. We were so glad we booked a tour with him and would definitely recommend others visiting Amsterdam to do the tour as well.
Response from Host , Sep 2021
Hello Shawnti,
So great to hear that your tour was such a great succes!
From our unique boat, drinks and snacks offered, our knowledge of our beautiful city and our personal approach, everything seems to have been just as we try to make every tour work out!
We hope to welcome you back soon for another memorable tour of Amsterdam!
Fantastic trip

The friendly and perfect welcome on board! The good explanation of several buildings and routes! Also the catering was as promised, even better than expected!
For us it was the nicest trip we had on a boat in Amsterdam, with the best and most fantastic captain we met in Amsterdam! We will surely come back to Sebi Boats.

I can absolutely recommend the boat tour in the evening. The boat driver knows Amsterdam very well and will answer every question you have. He is very personable and I would book with him again and again.
Best hospitality in Amsterdam

Sebi made sure our group had a personally memorable experience. He ensured Snack, drinks, and pictures were taken care of and answered all of our questions as a local. I will be back in October and make sure I book with Sebi for a family event!!
Response from Host , Jul 2021
Hello Greyson, it is so nice to hear that your group had a memorable experience with us and that our personal approach, food and drink options and local knowledge were so much being appreciated! We can't wait to receive the rest of your family aboard our Giuliana for another wonderful tour of Amsterdam in October!
Absolutely top notch cruise! Fantastic experience!

I've been on several canal cruises in Amsterdam over the years in both large and small boats, and while all were enjoyable, my cruise with Captain Sebi was the best so far. His immaculately restored boat from the early 1900s is both beautiful and comfortable, but what really sets Sebi Boat Tours apart are the special touches, such as a stop at a friend's restaurant to pick up freshly prepared snacks, and Captain Sebi's enthusiasm, friendliness, and obvious love of his job. We had a wonderful couple of hours with Captain Sebi and the other guest on our cruise and I give Sebi Boat Tours my highest recommendation!
Response from Host , Jul 2021
Hi Roy, what a wonderfull review, the first in english after a long time of not being able to sail due to Covid, we love it! And it is extra nice to hear from an experienced canal cruise guest that our experience was the best you had up to now! We definately put a lot of effort in the details as we also think that this sets us apart from the standard cruises! We can't wait to welcome you back soon for another beautiful tour!

Fantastische Bootstour mit Sebi
Jan_H
, Jun 2022
Unser Kapitän Sebi war fantastisch. Man merkt, wie begeistert er ist und seine Heimatstadt Amsterdam vom Wasser in seinem tollen hundert Jahre alten Boot zu zeigen. Alles ist sehr liebevoll renoviert und Blitz sauber. Es gab tolle Snacks und qualitativ hochwertige Getränke. Sebi hat uns eine tolle individuelle Tour bereitet auch abseits der vielbefahrenen Wasserwege durch ganz kleine Kanäle im alten Amsterdam. Absolut empfehlenswert. Vielen Dank.
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Liebe Jan,
Was für eine wunderbare Bewertung.
Es ist schön zu hören, dass unser sauberes, einzigartiges Boot so geschätzt wird und Sie die schönsten Teile von Amsterdam genossen haben.
Und ja, wir freuen uns jedes Mal, unseren Gästen unsere schöne Stadt zu zeigen.
Wir können es kaum erwarten, Sie in Zukunft wieder an Bord für eine schöne Reise durch Amsterdam begrüßen zu dürfen
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
