Sebi must have done this tour about one thousand times or more and yet you feel his love for this city and eagerness to share his knowledge about it. he does not treat you like another batch of tourists, he treats you like a guest. We had a wonderful time on the Giuliana! Food and drinks were of course great as well. Thank you Sebi!

Take this tour! It is a great way to see Amsterdam! Sebastián and Olivier are very gracious, accommodating and friendly. Our time was very personal with them on this boat tour. You'll be glad you did this. Amsterdam is a beautiful city with beautiful people.

Wonderful 2-hour evening cruise through the canals and Amstel river. It was amazing to have a private tour instead of herding on with the large tourist boats. This one is a max of 10-12 and while they do have some shared tours each week, they specializes in private groups. Olivier will help you reserve your spot and any booking needs, and Captain Sebi was a great guide and smooth sailor. There is a full toilet on the boat. You can buy drinks on board, pay for unlimited wine/beer, or bring your own drinks for a small cork fee. We also brought snacks, and he said some groups even get catered lunch aboard (they arrange with them in advance presumably).

Fantastic tour guide Sebi himself operated the boat. Upon boarding there were fresh flowers, cheese/grapes/nuts/cookies along with selections of wines, liquors, water, sparkling waters and a cooler of sodas. Bonus- a tiny toilet! Basic but perfect to enjoy a 2 hour ride. After we embarked, sebi made a short stop to pick up a platter of hot appetizers. Due to the smaller size of the boat we were able to travel into many canals that are unsuitable for larger craft. And the intimate lounge setting was perfect to hear sebi speak of the sights of the city as we passed them. When it started to rain, we were able to close the flaps and still have a great view. Also bonus was being able to sit outside on the back deck as well.

Sebi provides the best canal tour, full stop. You get 2 hours of a fabulous tour complete with interesting commentary and history of all the neighborhoods you travel through. Sebi is the perfect host with flavorful snacks and good quality beverage offerings. Since he only takes a limited number of passengers per tour, you feel very special, especially when you pass another canal boat that has 40 people crammed in it.

The. Best. Canal. Tour. In. Amsterdam. We took a ride with Sebi tours last week, the favorite part of our family trip. A memory created we shall never forget! Our captain Olivier, shared his spirit, knowledge and big smile with us! 100% recommended!

Sebi was a fantastic and knowledgeable tour guide who cares so much about the experience he provides to his guests. Olivier (more of the coordinator) was super helpful leading up to the tour and helped ensure that everything I wanted was there for the perfect tour and proposal on the canal. I was easily able to coordinate from across an ocean leading up to the boat tour and it went perfectly. The boat is beautiful - we added on an all-you-can-drink package and flowers and we brought our own pizza from De Pizzabakkers near the pick-up spot (so good also, highly recommend). The boat is so well taken care of and is a beautiful boat. After this experience, I don't know how I can go back to public boat tours! I'll definitely be back to tour with Sebi again in the future.

Excellent tour. Excellent choice of food and drinks and one of the only small boat tours with a toilet. Thanks Sebi!

Simply a great tour despite the rain, Sebi was bang on time arriving in his fabulous small boat. He was a great host and made it feel like a friend was taking you out on their boat. The drinks and snacks were plentiful. Sebi gave us a great insight not only to the waterways around Amsterdam but also lots of historical information as well. We were so glad that we chose Sebi for the tour over the large companies. My only recommendation would be to book direct via Sebi’s web site, other than that you won’t find a better boat tour in Amsterdam.

Let me start off by saying this was one of the best experiences we had in our stay in Amsterdam. I opted to get a private boat tour with Sebi on the Giuliana to set up a romantic engagement for my partner, and Sebi and Oliver delivered! Sebi was very kind and welcomed us on board with some of the treats we selected, along with other wonderful snacks and in a gorgeous presentation. The table had a lovely flower bouquet in the center, drinks on ice, cheese, grapes and mustard on a platter. As we started the tour Sebi explained where we were headed and had some wonderful stories to tell. He was so friendly, knowledgeable and a great person to have a conversation with as we made our way through the canals. The views were phenomenal! We then stopped at Sebi's cousins boat catering and got some warm Bitterballs and Cheese Souffles that were AMAZING! We even tried finding these at other locations, but none measured up! We also had gorgeous charcuterie. Finally, we made our way to the Amstel River and Sebi helped film and photograph my proposal under the Magere Brug. It made for an ideal romantic setting! Sebi then even dropped us off right in front of our apartment rental where we were staying. Sebi's boat tour really is a great way to experience everything Amsterdam has to offer and is led by an incredible captain. Would recommend this tour to anyone.

We booked spontaneous and sebi contacted us quick. The boat was very comfortable and sebis service and guiding was extremely good and relaxing. A boat tour can't get any better in my opinion. We'll come again.

We had a nice tour with Senior, lot of food and drinks. We couldn’t even eat a half of what he offered. He took time to explain and stop where people wanted to take pics. Excellent service!

I booked two tours with Sebi and both times were fantastic. Two totally different groups. First three couples, second three girls celebrating a milestone birthday. Sebi was great at reading the groups and hosted/captained us accordingly. On the first trip he let the couples interact on their own. For the girls trip, he was a gracious host talking to us throughout the tour making the guests feel special. We had an amazing time on both trips and will definitely book again/recommend to all. For both groups, it was the highlight of their visit to Amsterdam!

Fantastic tour! The boat is good-looking, comfortable and has a nice atmosphere. Sebi, the guide, is outstanding and has great knowledge of Amsterdam. Cruising through the grachten with him is such a vibe. Can only recommend!

Dangerous sailing of the captain. We almost had an accident with another large ship

Best guide in Amsterdam!!! Had a great time :)

Best boat tour in Amsterdam. Sebastiaan is an amazing host!

Great experience! Relaxing cruise with drinks and yummy snacks . Captain Sebastian provided an entertaining and informative narration of our trip through the canals big and small. His perfectly sized boat allowed us to have a personalized experience the big boat just can’t match. Best part of our visit to Amsterdam.

Semi’s canal cruise exceeded families expectations! The snacks and drinks were the perfect complement to the cruise. Sebi explained the history of the canals and districts of Amsterdam and even took us to a spot that was not on the itinerary (Ted Lasso). I can’t imagine only taking an hour cruise when there is so much to take in. Don’t fall for the big boat cruises, have an adventure where you can connect with the captain and people from all over the world.

Such a great experience that everyone who visits Amsterdam needs to do! Sebi, the captain was insanely nice and so knowledgeable about the city! The boat was stunning. The service on the boat was incredible. Oliver is awesome, too. Nothing but good things to say about Sebi Boat Tours!

Great host, beautiful boat! We didn't have to worry about the weather, because you can sit comfortably in- and outside. Thank you for the fun and relaxing afternoon.

Sebi's tour was the absolute best boat ride I have ever had on Amsterdam canals after almost 20 years of visits to AMS. He turned a rainy day where we almost wanted to cancel into one of the best parts of the entire trip. Cannot recommend Sebi enough!!! <3 <3 <3 We loved him!

Sebi’s boat tour was amazing, not just because of the itinerary, or the complete spread of food, wine, spirits, and non-alcoholic drinks, or the blankets he shared, or the intimate ambience of his beautiful boat, but because it was personal. Sebi shared his story, delighted in his passengers, and had us leaving, wishing he could show us more of the Amsterdam waterways. We went in December. There were a total of ten, very diverse passengers. Some chose to stay inside the cabin (with the soft windows rolled up). Four of us braved the cold and went up on the stern, to experience Amsterdam canal night views at their best. If I could give Sebi, and his one lieutenant a ten, I would. This tour is one that I will long remember, in large part because of Sebi’s love and passion for what he does. Thank you, Sebi!

Absolutely recommend spending an afternoon or evening with Sebi and his beautiful boat. I live in the Netherlands and have taken multiple boat tours of Amsterdam - this was by far my favorite experience. Sebi is warm and welcoming; he told us about the sights and answered our questions but also gave us plenty of space to enjoy the city. You cover a fair amount of ground on this tour and it was a perfect way for my family to see Amsterdam for the first time. I will be back!
