This was a great boat tour with Jack and Doortje! We got to learn some Amsterdam history while cruising the canals. We were on an earlier boat so it wasn’t crowded which was lovely. Also drinks were included so it was nice to have coffee aboard.

We were lucky enough to go on a tour with Jack and captain Michel. They were both great fun, very knowledgeable and kept the information light hearted. The beer was also free flowing as much as we wanted
