Fantastic experience. The captain was very knowledgeable, skilled and personable. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and learned a lot about Amsterdam
thank you for reviewing our canal boat Delphine
The four of us have made a nice cruise including an excellent dinner! A nice host / skipper and delicious food that is picked up at 2 places. The chef personally brought the (hot) plates on board. Fine wines, Everything excellently taken care of. Recommended!!
Thank you for your great review on canal boat Delphine
This was hands down the most romantic thing we have ever done in Amsterdam! (Having been in the city about 10 times over the years)! Reinhardt was an amazing guide and provided not only a historical tour of the city but exceptional service. He even dropped us back off at our hotel. I had proposed to my now fiancé on our way to the boat and it ended up being one of the most special nights of our lives. Thank you so much would recommend to anyone!

Edward our boat captain went above and beyond the call of duty for our group of four. He was knowledgeable, incredibly kind and helpful. The sights are amazing and you cannot beat the service on this private boat.

What a wonderful experience sailing on the canals of Amsterdam with such a great guide as Vanessa ! The boat is comfortable, the host is so welcoming and the visit is guided by a true Amsterdamer knowing / showing all nice locations / bridges / hidden places ! We had already enjoyed the Amsterdam Light Festival with Vanessa and she is now our preferred option for a fantastic experience with friends / family visiting us in Amsterdam !

Thank you for your great review on canal boat Delphine
We had a fantastic 2 hour experience exploring the center of Amsterdam from the water. The boat Delphine is very charming and it has a roof that can partly be openend which is very convenient with nice weather. It has an electrical motor so very quiet and peaceful. Skipper Vanessa is very relaxed and flexible and the communication before was very adequate and helpful. A perfect experience!
