Our tour boat on November 26,2025 was just so lovely. To be able to view the city and city lights from the canals was amazing, weather was chilly but clear and our tour guide Glenn was a wonderful guide with a bit of history and knowledge of the area gave us a great deal of information and appreciation for Amsterdam. Glenn was very warm and friendly and answered all of our questions. I would definitely recommend this tour company and Glenn for a lovely ride through the canals

I proposed to my boyfriend today and I am incredibly happy. I would like to thank everyone at Romantic Tour, especially Scott. My boyfriend (and now fiancé) and I had a fantastic evening! Everything went exactly as I had planned! The playlist was perfect, as were the snacks, the view, the tour, etc. Everything was perfect! I highly recommend it. I would like to thank the Romantic Tour team again, especially Scott. I am very happy with every moment I had tonight.

Thank you so much to Rocco and the team for such a wonderful experience! My partner (now fiancé!!) and I had a three and a half hour canal cruise on the Saloon boat and the Unlimited Love package. The email communication to arrange the evening was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our three course meals picked up along the way, and Rocco picked a perfect, quiet intimate canal for the proposal itself. We will fondly look back on this special day for the rest of our lives (and will regularly look back at the Polaroids!). For everything that was included I feel the price was very reasonable!

Thanks so much for making our engagement so special ❤️

We had the most incredible experience with Romantic Amsterdam Tour. From the very first email, their communication was warm, professional, and reassuring. The private boat tour felt so special.

The storytelling made it unforgettable. We didn’t just see the city, we heard its love stories and hidden secrets. It felt authentic, thoughtful.

The team are true professionals, and they clearly care deeply about creating magical experiences for couples. Our proposal was handled beautifully.

If you’re visiting Amsterdam as a couple, I can’t recommend this enough. It’s romantic, personal, and worth every penny.

Scott gave us an unforgettable night on the water. Fun, informative, and picked the perfect route for us to maximize the night sights. He knows when to chime in vs when to step back and really let the romance of the moment build. What a wonderful city to explore from the water. The whole experience blew me away and made for a really special evening.

I worked with the Romantic Tours team for about 6 months to plan my proposal to be just the way I envisioned it. The entire team was very friendly, professional and helped me get every detail right. Ciska was very responsive and helped me think through additional details to make the day as special as possible. Skipper Scott was a true pleasure to be with on the boat. I was pretty nervous arriving to the boat, but his calm and lighthearted demeanor and fun stories helped calm my nerves immediately. Justina was our incredible photographer and helped capture each special moment and we couldn’t have asked for a better team. My new fiancé even told me yesterday was the best day of her life, which wouldn’t be possible without the team helping make it all possible. I cannot thank you all enough!!!
That was very good and interesting. Our captain Dip told us a lot of stories about the city and made our journey brilliant and perfect. I really recommend.

We really enjoyed our canal tour with captain Mare. She was funny charming and knowledgeable. The snacks and drinks on board were of high quality. We took an evening tour as the sun was setting so it made for nice lighting and no glaring sun to deal with. I recommend this tour to anyone who doesn't want to ride on a party boat.

We had the most magical experience with Proposal Romantic Tour Amsterdam! From the very beginning, communication via email was amazing—quick, friendly, and incredibly helpful. They provided great support in planning the actual proposal, making the whole process smooth and special.

A huge thank you to my tour guide, Glyn, who truly made the experience unforgettable. She was not only warm and kind but also took so many beautiful photos, brought us to lovely romantic spots, and adjusted the tour perfectly to our needs.

I honestly couldn't imagine the proposal being more perfect. My now-fiancée was over the moon, and it’s a moment we will never forget.

Thank you so much for making it all so perfect! 💍🚤❤️

The communication and planning were great, and we really enjoyed the Romantic Amsterdam Tour. However, we were unhappy with the photographer we were assigned—both the photos and editing didn't meet our expectations. When we brought this up, responses were slow, and we ultimately just asked for the RAW files. Surprisingly, we liked the polaroids more than the professional photos. If photography is a priority for you, I recommend asking in advance who your photographer will be.
Response from the owner 12:42 10 May 25
Dear Aileen,Thank you for taking the time to share your valuable feedback. We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the Romantic tour and appreciate your kind words about our communication and coordination. However, we are very sorry to learn that the photography experience did not meet your expectations. Your feedback is important to us, and we take it seriously. To assist you further, we could not find your details in our system. Please email us at info@romantictouramsterdam.com with the name under which the booking was made. Once we have the booking details, we will look into the matter and explore how we can resolve it.Thank you again for sharing your experience. We hope to assist you soon.With love, Linda

Truly a one of a kind experience and worth every penny. Rocco and his Team are the best. From the initial email inquiry to the follow-up after was impeccable. Our canal guide was Dirk and we couldn't have asked for a better person to share this once in a lifetime experience. He is an amazing individual who took great care in making sure we would never forget this day. Kristin and I are so unbelievably happy and had the absolute best time ever. I would highly recommend Team Romantic Tour Amsterdam.
Love always,
