4.00Nice small group and very personable guide. Food and drink was great, plenty to be had by all! My only tip is to do this on your arrival, we did it on our last night and by then we had seen so much.

5.00This tour was absolutely incredible. Our captain was amazing! He told us so much about the city and shared really cool family stories and showed us old pictures. The food was a perfect taste of the local cuisine and the drinks were great as well! Out of all the canal tours, I'm confident that this is one of the best!

5.00This was the first thing we did after arriving in Amsterdam and, after queuing for two hours in the airport for security and then having an issue at our hotel, it was a much welcome break. Captain Eric was very informative and seeing Amsterdam in the dark all lit up was very nice. The food and drink were also very good and we would definitely recommend.
