5.00Lucas was fantastic. We were hoping for a nice, relaxed, canal cruise where we didn’t feel rushed or packed in. Very quickly he asked about our preferences and told us he’d point out some interesting sights, give us some background on the canals and Amsterdam itself. Throughout the vibe was very chill which is exactly what we hoped for.

5.00This is a very nice cruise. Relaxing, short and sweet. I would recommend for anyone coming to Amsterdam specially if you're in a group, a private tour is a mist.
Great, warmly recommended

5.00Alexander was amazing. Had some good prosecco, gave good info about the city, was a perfect way to see more of the city with tired legs. Boat was comfy and Alex offered to cover us from the sun or leave open.
