What our guests say
โ โ โ โ โGreat tour and super nice guides. Exciting information and with a lot of funny stories. Would do it again any time.
โ โ โ โ โSkipper and narrator had knowledge and humor. Beautiful boat, delicious drinks. It's worth repeating!
โ โ โ โ โWe had a mega fun trip despite it raining. The boat was great. Rene and Nina made the evening with their fun and stories about the art. Definitely recommended.
โ โ โ โ โAn incredible canal cruise. The captain was an absolute delight, very friendly, especially toward the children in our group. With the small boat we could enter even the little canals that big tourist boats can't reach. Our guide was funny and knowledgeable.
โ โ โ โ โWe arrived in Amsterdam and the first step was this fabulous boat. Not only was it educative but also fun. We had a fabulous hour exploring the canals. The cushions and service were flawless and you really can't beat the price.
โ โ โ โ โFrom the moment we stepped on the boat we were so relaxed. The atmosphere was so lovely. They served drinks during the cruise at very good prices, the staff were so friendly and gave us a great insight into Amsterdam. A great way to spend an hour.
