Highly recommend this activity! Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, experienced and made the excursion as enjoyable as possible!
Very nice cruise, relaxing and lovely atmosphere on a small group boat. Our skipper was a really lovely guy of 23 years old (can’t remember the name, sorry), who was very friendly, professional and informative in the facts about Amsterdam.
Sven was an incredible tour guide. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. He kept the whole boat smiling during the cruise. We loved our tour! Everyone was given a quick 5 min rundown of what to expect during the tour, we all loaded the boat, and were cruising on the water with drinks and snacks within 20 minutes into our tour start time. We got back promptly @ our end time. Would recommend!
Loved this. It costs more than some of the giant canal boats but the personal luxury feel makes for a much nicer experience. Nice charcuterie and great drinks on board. Our host was fun and knowledgeable.
A great experience. Viewing Amsterdam from a canal boat is definitely the best way to see the city. Our guide was engaging & knowledgeable. Even my teenagers liked it…!!
Wonderful experience, I would definitely recommend it. Our guide was fun and informative. Thank you.
The group leader and his assistant were thoughtful, kind and personable! The tour was slow and very detailed and the guide was able to answer most questions about the areas we saw. The food and the refreshments were well done. Wine and beers were explained and the charcuterie boards explained themselves and were excellent! The only draw back to the entire tour was being sure we were at the correct meeting place. The address given is a restaurant across the street from the docking space. We argued with our taxi driver about getting us to the right place. He did deliver us, but there was not TOUR sign visible across the street from the restaurant where the tour began and ended. We asked another tour business where we should look. Otherwise, the small group, intimate sharing of space worked well because we were in an open boat and the weather was perfect! Would recommend it to anyone!
Guide was excellent and very engaging. The two hours flew by and we learned so much about Amsterdam. The snacks and drinks were perfect!
Robert was a great guide. Took suggestions from the group about what we wanted to see. Clean, comfortable boat. Great drinks and snacks.
excellent tour and just the right amount of time - captain was Knowledgeable and friendly and boat was comfortable
