5.00Our guide, Tallon, was knowledgeable, fun, and an exceptionally safe navigator. We enjoyed the experience immensely and cannot recommend this enough. Much more personal and enjoyable than larger boats crammed with large crowds.
Best experience in Amsterdam

5.00This was a fantastic experience; top 3 favorite thing in Amsterdam during our visit. Tallon was our driver, super knowledgeable about the history of Amsterdam and kept all our attention the whole 2 hours. I am a huge Ted Lasso fan and since we had some time toward the end he took us to where the bridge scene played out in the ‘sunflower’ episode. The other two groups that joined us were so great, we all laughed and had a wonderful time. Snacks and drinks were perfect. Can’t say enough good remarks about this experience, highly recommend, best way to see Amsterdam!
Great time

5.00We had a fabulous time! Whilst it rained, we sat cosily on the boat with our lovely drinks and snacks and were entertained wonderfully by the excellent host. Not my first boat trip in Amsterdam but certainly one of the best ones.
This experience far exceeded my expectations !

5.00Really enjoyable experience We took it at 7 pm on a Friday (April 10th) the captain was very knowledgeable about the history of Amsterdam and its canals. He was also entertaining and made the experience fun. Seeing the canals as they light up at night was great
