We started in front of the Anne Frank House. The canal tour is nice and if done in the evening as we did it is more beautiful because the city is all lit up and navigating these canals is very suggedtibo

I discovered you by chance. I chose two activities that worked as expected, on time and quiet. I just suggest a little more information about the app and the meeting point for those who are in the city for the first time.

The captain was great, telling lots of anecdotes in Dutch/English/German/French and Spanish. A great time It's a pity that the boat's windows didn't slide open to take photos.

On my second visit to Amsterdam I have made the tour of the canals aboard a boat of the company LOVERS, really very well, with audio guide in Spanish, with basic and curious information about the city, its beginnings and architecture. Very nice ride. Impressive the dimension of the tour boats with the small private boats of the locals who go out for a walk around. The drivers have an incredible skill! Very nice to see the houseboats throughout the tour, you pass really close to some of them. Thanks for such a nice ride
View original review in Spanish
The effiency at the meet up point and the courteous driver of the boat made this a very comfortable experience for the older traveller.
Nice to do on the first day to get the lay of the land :) After that it's very basic and nothing special about the boat itself. It's just a tourist trap ^^
View original review in French
The booking system was quick and easy to use. The boat had heaters that were absolutely a must in the windy and rainy weather.
Price-performance ratio was top! Beautiful and covered boat. Received headphones for the audio guide in many languages from the captain, which is very good. The tour is a great experience by day and night.

Tour should ensure that all audio guide connections are working and not faulty. Not aware that audio guide has commenced as connection faulty, so missed the first part of it. Someone should advise that the audio gauide has commenced, so passenger is aware, if not recieving it, that connection is faulty. Paid to hear th entire audio huide but thats not what I got.
Central location, beautiful views

We had a wonderful cruise and enjoyed the art. The reception was cordial. The explanations were fine. But the booking said unlimited snacks and drinks. The snacks were a small bag of nuts and a small syrup waffle. I had different expectations from that.
View original review in Dutch
Seeing the lights was incredible. I wished they offered hot chocolate as a beverage, and the they wouldnt over crowd the boat.
Delay, tour too long given the crowds on the canals. Average comfort, wet cushions... slippery boarding pontoon. Too expensive for the service
View original review in French
The meeting point was very poorly described and the boat arrived much too late. The snacks were served in a bowl that was passed around which was quite unappetizing as everyone was reaching in with their fingers. That was a shame...but the guide was friendly and explained everything clearly.
View original review in German
Ric the entertainer was BRAVIOUS in cheering up the cruise. Here's what didn't work: First they announced the change of departure, which we struggled to find (not reported). From the scheduled time we waited half an hour in the cold (scheduled 6:15 pm departure at 6:45 pm). There was some confusion about getting people on (couldn't tell if everyone would fit). The boat had this plastic covering so the view was bad. However, the RIC facilitator was very good at explanations and getting all the people to participate!
View original review in Italian
The prob was the rain with the 30 mns queue and the poor visibility with this rain and the mist which prevented from seeing the outside.
View original review in French
I thought it was pleasant tour with a nice guide! He told a good story about the lights with a funny twist. I missed the red wine (not present) and in terms of appetizers, it was disappointing....
View original review in Dutch
We were given the wrong meeting point of outside a Chinese restaurant. If it wasn't for another person who had contacted the provider we would not have known. We then arrived late because we were given incorrect meeting point information and refused boarding. We then had to wait 1 hour for the next boat. The staff before boarding were unhelpful, disinterested and caused someone with a knee disability to walk further than absolutely necessary. Nothing was done to help this person and it was more of a "sorry, but I'm not really sorry because you arrived late". To mitigate this happening in the future maybe they should station their helpers and ensure information is accurate about meeting points and then trying to put the blame on the customer. The only time things improved was when we were actually on the boat and the 2 ladies were knowledgeable, attentive and had excellent customer service skills. Those dockside, not very much!
Everything went smoothly with ticketing and Headout was great because we had to change the time of our cruise due to some unexpected scheduling issues. The cruise was fun even though it rained. There was plenty to drink and eat. The lights were interesting and spread out over the cruise time.
So the trip was nice and the drivers were great 👍 However, the boats were not yet prepared for departure and the covers were completely wet due to the rain. 🤷♀️ That delayed the departure by about 20 minutes. Otherwise everything was fine 😊

It was a very rainy experience, but the Guide Dean made the trip very pleasant and the skipper Gijs was very professional. The drinks were enough , but we had expectated more snackss
Our guide Sabrina was great fun. The Gluhwein was yummy and abundant. And, of course, the light were great even though there was rain.
Your host, Danielle the student from Germany, was amazing! Absolute pro, and very, very entertaining. I loved it! Nighttime canal rides with endless mulled wine are the way to go in Dam. The perfect end to a perfect day.
It turned out that we were in an extra hired salon boat: smaller and very atmospheric! Only the chaos before departure with several large groups was a bit less.

Best view of Amsterdam is from the canals - our guide was incredible with a great knowledge about the history of Amsterdam as well as the light festival. Loved it from start to finish and would highly recommend as a fun activity whether you're just visiting Amsterdam or have been there all your life.
The guides, the schedule and the drinks were great. We were only disappointed by the small number of light sculptures.

Pleasant hosts, nice little cruise and plenty to drink. Light festival itself very average compared to other experiences in other cities.

Everything was in English, no French audioguide, simply no self-guide impossible to see the sets or the lights, I had to look at photos taken by other people. Vin chaud.... cold the lady didn't turn on the electric thermos
View original review in French
You ask me what I thought of the audio guide, but unfortunately there wasn't one :-( . The guide's voice was weak and covered by the boat pilot's voice. I'm a French speaker, so I need a lot of attention to understand English, which I'm not 100% fluent in, so not being able to hear properly meant I didn't understand any of the explanations, which is a shame.
View original review in French
Great cruise, friendly crew, heated boat with a little plaid for those who are a little chilly, unlimited drinks, soft ambiance. We recommend
View original review in French
Unfortunately, we got into the boat after a heavy shower - you couldn't see the lights, especially at the back of the boat, as there were no windows there, but rather foil windows. The rain stuck to them and was not removed before departure. This meant that they were only partially transparent. The problem was exacerbated by the very bright lighting on board. Loud groups of people were not asked to be quieter, so that some of the explanations were completely drowned out

Thijs was a good guide with good knowledge of Amsterdam. Mo was a good skipper. Was very enjoyable although this time we found the art tour to be little.

View original review in French
The tour was more for my boyfriend, he also thought the tour was guided and would have much preferred that. We think if we had a guided tour or at least the option to choose and learn more about the stadium/ football history, the tour would be great. We walked around at our own pace but it was too quickly and we didn't learn much. Overall it was a good tour but could be better.
Canal cruise was very good, but it was extremely difficult to find the correct cruise! In fact, boat staff said they had never heard of Headout!
I expected much more from this experience, I sat in the back ( which I arrived last) and it was not easy to follow the 'audio guide and see what was being told at the same time. Also, the 'sudioguide could be heard intermittently , basically expectations were much higher than reality.
View original review in Italian
I really appreciated that our tickets were honored the day after we'd booked because of an unexpected rainstorm. Thanks!
This was definitely not an exclusive evening trip. We sat between lots of polystyrene boxes in an unconventional boat. The presenter was good but was actually mainly busy rummaging through the polystyrene boxes. The skipper was okay - including 2 near-accidents. He wore a lifejacket at times - certainly the right thing to do given the driving style.

Despite the bad weather, the ride was ok, at least window wipers were distributed. The price is somewhat excessive for this service.

Everything was great except that it promised to take you to Tulip Experience and we really wanted to go there and they didn't take us to that experience but to another farm when what we bought clearly said Tulip Experience, we felt cheated.
View original review in Spanish
The audioguide included interesting informstions (although I personally prefer a live tour guide). What I did not like, was the boat itself, as in the back, there was limited view because of the roof and the walls; unfortunately I could not see the buildings properly.
Our main concern was that the skipper was not focusing on his job. He did some of the explaining looking at the passengers and not where the boat was going. On at least 3 occasions, he left the wheel house (once to get a drink ) with no one in charge of the boat, While in the wheelhouse he had his feet up on the console on a few occasions and wcould be seen on his phone on several occasions, it looked like he was typing He was not professional and didn't make us feel safe.
The staff is extremely nice and flexible! The information they provided about the city while on the cruise were very informative and fun.
It was wonderful listening to the history of Amsterdam. I do wish that I would have booked directly through Flagship though to get the option of unlimited wine/cheese. Regardless, it was a great experience.
It was so much fun and informative. I accidentally double booked and Daisy from Flagship was amazing in helping me figure it out!!
The whole tour was amazing. Good audio announcements which were very informative and exciting. Too bad the tour is only 1 hour. We would love to come back. We can highly recommend the tour in the evening.

It was much more a personal experience than the bigger boats. Picked up near my hotel and the staff were amazing. Way more fun and friendly.
I chose this experience because the boat was totally open, in fact it was wonderful to pass through the canals of amsterdam and look perfectly at the view, to make it all the more pleasant the possibility of ordering a drink while the crew described the city to you.
View original review in Italian
The staff was so welcoming and friendly especially Oscar and his partner ( I forgot his name) they made our experience wonderful.
the boat and staff were friendly and welcoming. I would never do a canal tour again because people throw evething from the bridges, my daughter came out of the cruise completely soaked because someone threw something at her which I hope was water from the bridge. which is not the fault of the crew.
Me and my friends definitely enjoy this wonderful experience. The staffs were friendly and they took care of us. They shared some information about the city and its really interesting to hear it. They are helpful and would love to answer some of our questions. They also gave us some recommended place to go since we are just in the country for a tour. Thank you flagship!
It was very relaxed and a superb atmosphere. We saw a lot and had great fun. Of course the perfect weather had also lot to do with it all. Cheers
Unfortunately, we couldn't see much from the open boat as we were sitting at the bow in the direction of travel and it was so high that visibility was very restricted. We haven't had this in the past on other open boats.

Toll geschmücktes Boot, cooler Skipper, tolle Erzählungen und Infos über Amsterdam und die Grachten, klasse Stimmung an Bord
The skipper and bartender were great. The unpleasant experience was that priority was given to the people without tickets vs the ones who had purchased tickets online in advance, regardless of the fact that we arrived at the venue earlier . So we ended up getting the last of the seats which is not what we had signed up for.
Everything super, and the commentator at the top!!!! And the all-you-can-drink service

The host is quite friendly and received good service from him. Good cheese and wine. Small group which is great. It will be good if all window flaps can be opened for photography. Better than the clear glass boat in the day, which is quite crowded and enclosed.

The service was all good, and the boat trip was nice. The only down point were the roof glasses partially scratched and not very useful as windows making difficult to see the outside.
What the guide was telling in English was completely different from the audioguide, besides, the latter was very poor in content, it was much better what the guide was saying in English. It was confusing to be with the audio guide and the guide at the same time.

Nous n'avons pas pu vraiment apprécier cette croisière sur le canal dans la mesure où il pleuvait et qu'à l'intérieur du bâteau on ne voyait rien. Une raclette était bien fournie pour enlever la buée mais celle-ci revenait tout de suite et par ailleurs les vitres étaient couvertes de gouttes de pluie. Impossible donc de donner une évaluation sur cette croisière, dommage !
The canal cruise itself was great, the Captain was engaging, knowledgeable, and entertaining. The only downside were the directions to the pickup point and the corresponding photo and diagram. Not even close! If I didn't go searching around we would've missed the cruise.

Very great experience to visit the museum with a combined ticket with 1 hour of navigation on the Amsterdam canals. It wasn't possible to book a mid-day slot for the museum visit that morning, but thanks to the combination ticket I was able to plan a visit from midday onwards and then, go on with the mini-cruise, and be at the airport on time afterwards.
It was good to see several paintings again such as the Night Watch and several other classic paintings. Also nice to see the restoration.
View original review in Dutch
It was a good idea to book the tickets on headout. No line, quick entrance to the museum. The Rijksmuseum is awesome. You really need time to see everything. Plan at least 4 hours and be aware of the fact that it closes quite early (5 p.m.). That really was the problem for us. We had another great museum before and couldn't see all we wanted.
It was good, but could be more clear about the reservation of the cruise tour, since it's a combo ticket we were redirected to 2 places and the staff wasn't sure how we can book and use the ticket for the cruise.
Great paintings and artistic collections
