5.00There are many canal boat tours. This I found very good: adequate number of people on board, friendliness and professionalism of the staff. Maybe two drinks are too much for the 1 hour tour: you don’t have time to drink calmly 🤣
Very good tour with fantastic guide!

5.00We thought we would go on a standard tour, but Lex who was our guide made the whole tour personal with a wealth of information in addition to the standard descriptions of Amsterdam. Good discussion on topics bigger than just the buildings, but also how they have affected the history of the Netherlands and Amsterdam and the aftermath to date. Luc who drove the boat was a rock and both were extremely polite, nice and helpful. Highly recommended!
