The canal tour was a great way to see the city and hear about the history of the city. We were lucky to experience this on a very beautiful Amsterdam day. Our tour guides Julia and Lau were great and so welcoming. I enjoyed this tour.

Lillian_B, Apr 2024
We were told that it commentary would not be provided but that if we asked questions they would be answered. That was not what we were expecting based on what we had read

Our tour guide was good. But it was cold and started to rain just before we got in the boat. All on the boat would have been a lot more comfortable with a glass enclosure like most of the other tour boats.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Dear Anita,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the guidance provided by our tour guide.
However, we are sorry to learn that the weather conditions affected your comfort during the boat tour. We will certainly take your feedback regarding the glass enclosure into consideration and evaluate the possibilities to enhance the comfort of our guests, especially when weather changes occur.
We appreciate you for taking the time to share your feedback with us and hope to welcome you back for another memorable experience under better weather conditions.

The guides were excellent. A view of Amsterdam we never would have seen without their guidance. We left from in front of Anne Frank House. Would highly recommend.
Elenita_G, Apr 2024
The best part was the tour itself. The host was cool and informative. She addressed the whole group and made the tour interactive. I wish the meeting point was clearer like mentioning more landmark. It was raining when I went to the place and I couldn’t see anyone in ‘orange’ as suggested in the voucher.

Our guides did a great job and had us laughing at their quips and puns. We enjoyed the cruise and they were very accommodating as we arrived a few minutes late.
