The boat was super clean and cosy, and a bargain for the price. The tour was brilliant with Michele and Tommy, who were both extremely kind, welcoming, attentive, knowledgeable and made the tour super fun. It was a great way to see Amsterdam and learn about the city. It was a great experience and would definitely go again
Very nice trip!

Great tour with a lot of details about the installations. Boat was just the right size, not as big as the huge canal boats. Well done!

Our hosts were informative and humorous, taking time to explain the different sights and artwork along the way, boat itself had heated seats and a wide selection of beverages, couldn't fault it.
