We had an amazing boat cruise with Pure Boats. Both the staff and boat were top notch. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed this trip. Hans was entertaining, informative and very skilled at driving his vessel through narrow gaps. All other boat captains are amateurs by comparison!
The apple pie was delicious (although the cream dispenser needed some work) and the drinks were good quality.
This is less a tour of the main sights of Amsterdam and more a relaxing drink on the water with friends, with amusing commentary and recommendations for things to see.
The design of this boat means that you are facing towards the middle so to see out of the nearest window you need to turn right around. Therefore I don't recommend this tour for anyone with an inflexible neck. Otherwise, perfect!
