What people are saying about Prinsengracht

Lovely. At sunset it is beautiful because the city is exquisitely illuminated and on the boat they turn off the interior lights so we can observe everything. They give us the wine to choose what you want to drink and you can repeat. And the cheeses are two different varieties and if you go with more than two people, they give you more quantity. They were quite friendly in everything.

I took this tour at sunset which I thought was very nice. The only downside was it was raining, so it was difficult to see out of the window, but I was glad the boat was covered. I got a good amount of wine and cheese for the price. There are lots of options for canal tours in Amsterdam, and I would recommend this one.

The tour was wonderful! Our guides, Sofia and her BFF, were fantastic! Plenty of wine and cheese to keep is going for the duration of the tour. Would highly recommend to others and would do it again ourselves next time we visit!

Our guides were funny and informative! They also were very generous with the wine. They even had Heineken for my husband and referred to it as wineken! Great time!

second time in the smoke lounge canal cruise and it was once again so much fun. The captain was fantastic and all around a 10/10 experience.
