We ll definitely come back!

We had an amazing experience with Nicolas and Pol from Canal Motorboats Amsterdam on Wednesday evening! We rented a boat with a captain for a 2-hour canal tour with four girlfriends to celebrate one friend’s upcoming wedding. We had such a lovely and cozy time together, and our captain, Nicolas, made the experience even more special. Along the way, he shared really interesting stories about the buildings and the history of Amsterdam in a funny and relaxed way, which we really enjoyed. The boat was beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. There were even blankets available in case we got cold, which was a lovely touch. We were also very happy that we didn’t have to steer the boat ourselves — even though it wasn’t very busy on the canals, it was wonderful to simply relax and enjoy the ride without having to pay attention to navigating. Friendly and professional staff, a top experience overall. Highly recommended — we will definitely come back!
