    Martin did a great job and we really enjoyed the time with him and the rest of the small group on board the boat. It was very casual, humorous and history filled. We would certainly recommend!
    Loved it!

    Our guide, Floris, was so informative, friendly and humorous. He covered not only the history but also present day changes. Being with a small group on a great boat was wonderful.
    History and views!

    Mike was a fantastic captain and travel guide! Took this boat with my mum and brother, we were lucky as there was only 1 other couple on our tour so it felt like a private experience. We received a full history of the city and roamed through many canals. Highly recommend!

    Fantastic canal boat trip

    What a lovely boat trip. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the scenery and all the interesting information shared by the captain. And the wine was pretty good too. Will definitely do this again.
    Fantastic canal tour.

    What a fantastic guided tour, so glad I booked this not the 100's of other boat tours available. The boat is rather small and has 10 people maximum, we were under cover and there was a heater and also blankets if needed. Floris our tour guide was excellent, made us feel relaxed, answered questions and told us so much about Amsterdam. This is the 8th time I've been to Amsterdam but my 1st canal tour, I just wished I did it the 1st time. There was 4 of us in total, my wife and myself and also another couple. There were 4 dishes of cheese, crackers, grapes and ham, bottle of red and white wine, 4 cans of lager and also soft drinks were available. Told there was more if we finished our drinks but didn't get that far as what we had was plenty. The tour was just over 90 minutes long and we had plenty of photo opportunities along the way. Can't recommend this tour enough. Took awhile to find the street (google maps - life saver), once on the street its easy to find the boat and make sure you use the toilet before boarding.

    Die angenehme Atmodphäre in kleiner Runde hat mir super gefallen. Dazu ein total sympatischer Guide, der uns wirklich interessante Details über Amsterdam vermittelt hat. Dank je wel Maarten!
