Great experience

We participated in the one-hour cruise on the canals of Amsterdam and had a wonderful time. Kalina and Berend provided us with a lot of information about Amsterdam and were friendly and enthusiastic.

Great cruise

Berta and Berend were friendly and knowledgeable. We cruised along late afternoon and saw the first half of the trip in daylight then experienced the riverside with all the lights shining for the return journey . A great experience

A beautiful walk on the canals!

We were walking on the platform next to the central station and we ran into Ed who convinced us to get on the boat. We receive a drink from the start and in a friendly Mood. The explanations are in English with some funny anecdotes. Too bad the tour only lasts an hour.

Poem underside of bridge...

Poem underside of bridge is Dutch, not Hebrew. Do better research. It’s there for people to read when bridge goes up.
