Our Captain, Ronald, and tour guide, Jasmine, did a fantastic job. Very informative and friendly tour around the canals of Amsterdam. The alcoholic drinks (beer/wine) were very reasonably priced and the complementary hot drinks were very well received. Would definitely recommend!

The tour was the perfect way to see Amsterdam and really understand the city. The tour guide was brilliant - insightful, funny and interesting - but never overbearing. It was just a delightful cruise, soaking up all the sites of Amsterdam and getting a feel for it's history. The boat also wasn't crowded so plenty of space and we won a free drink for a quiz question!

We were here for our vacation and we took part to the canal tour. We sailed with Charles and Tamar who were very nice and kind to us. In addiction they were very prepared and they told us a lot of stories about Amsterdam. We had a very beautiful time!

We had booked a trip for 8.30 then showed up an hour early to find out it wasn’t supposed to be possible for us to have booked the tour we had booked. A few phone calls later we were on a canal trip only for us with drinks included. Immaculate service, no complaints about the mix up, and just overall just an amazing trip would not trade it for any other! Would 100 percent recommend!
