5.00Absolutely book this tour! Paap was a fantastic guide - gave us all kinds of information about the city, its history, the architecture and so much more. He was fun, engaging, and pointed out some things about the city we never would have seen. My family said it was the best thing we did while visiting. Thank you, Paap!
Great guy, great tour,...

5.00Great guy, great tour, fine boat, and lots of fun. Capt. Popp is not only a skilled skipper, he knows his history and is generous in sharing it. After 9 days of tours together, the 6 of us decided we enjoyed this twilight-tour and our time spent with him as the most enjoyable. Many thanks to all the previous reviewers who helped us select him!
Wonderful tour on the canals.

5.00Pop was on time and very knowledgeable about Amsterdam. He took us to a farmers market for some fresh produce. We loved being on his tour and would highly recommend him.
Great experience!
