Our 5 o'clock canal tour was canceled. Other same days options were offered, but we had other scheduled same day tours so could not participate & missed the experience.

We recently had the pleasure of cruising the canals of Amsterdam with Captain Storm. He was informative and hospitable. We enjoyed beer, wine, cheese, crackers, grapes, etc. He also provided fresh, hot better balls. This cruise was 2 hours and the time flew by. We highly recommend this cruise!
