Review of Captain Jack’s 90-minute Amsterdam canal cruise, with heated seating, unlimited drinks, Dutch snacks, sights, tips, and honest drawbacks.
“We had a pretty terrible experience- and I’m not typically one to take the time to write reviews. Tour started late and ran late (like 30+ minutes late). The lack of a toilet onboard seemed an issue for some of the passengers as the drinks were unlimited. We spent most of the time listening to passengers complain about needing to use the toilet…we even had to have one gentleman relieve himself off the side of the boat! The “tour guide” was hard to hear - he was both trying to drive the boat and give us facts. He was NOT engaging and we were thoroughly bored. The content was sparse…”

Visit Keukenhof from Amsterdam with entry, luxury coach transport, and flexible return buses every 30 minutes.

It's great fir people who don't know the area and want the security of a group bus. It did not include a guided tour, but we knew that. Keukenhof was absolutely gorgeous.”
Pick a canal, a gallery or a dyke road.
