• A very pleasant cruise

  Meeting point was very easy to find convenient to Amsterdam Centraal. Janna, our captain, reached out to us to reschedule our reservation due to code red heat warning, so we took advantage of an earlier time. As it turned out we were the only 2 on the boat! We had a very pleasant and informative 90 minute cruise. Jannah was very personable and we really appreciated her consideration regarding the schedule. Highly recommended!

  10/10. Cute boat, good communication before the trip, and Joshua was sweet, a great host, made it fun, and was like an encyclopedia of knowledge! You cannot ask him a question he doesn’t know. Could’ve cruised around all day!

  Please do not overlook this tour!! If you want something quaint and personable versus crowded and loud, this is the tour for you. Our guide grew up in Amsterdam and was very knowledgeable about the area, waterways, nature, etc! She was also very understanding when we could not find the meeting place right away. She helped us find our way! Also- only my husband and I had booked the time we went, so we ended up with a private tour!!

  Absolutely amazing experience! A beautiful boat with a knowledgeable captain. They adjusted the journey based on our interests and had lots of fun facts and information about all the sights. They even had dinner recommendations based on where we were going to be later that evening. Highly recommend the quiet and personal experience this tour can give you. Better than any other larger tour that is not catered to your interests.

• A wonderful experience!

  A very welcoming personal boat trip around the Canals of Amsterdam. It really was perfect. It was decided that whilst being in Amsterdam, one of the "must do`s" is a canal trip, but we did not wish to be herded onto a large boat with plenty of others. We then read a few reviews of this wonderful little tour. As there were not so many reviews, we thought we would take a chance. We can honestly say we made the correct decision. We arrived on the side of the canal early. Diana (the name of the boat) arrived along with Johanna as skipper. From then on, we knew this was going to be great despite the late October grey sky. We expected more people to show up as the trip was advertised for a "small group, with a maximum of 6 people". However, when Johanna got off the boat, she informed us that we were the only ones who had booked. We were informed the small business has only been going since the summer and are happy to take anyone that books the tour, even if it was only going to be 1 person. Therefore, we had the boat to ourselves. Johanna, said for us to be comfortable, relax, kick off the shoes, wrap yourselves in the blankets and pull up the cushions.... which we certainly did. We then had the most amazing tour through the canals of Amsterdam, just what we wanted. Johanna has lived in Amsterdam all her life, so it was interesting chatting with her, getting to know all the facts and how real people from Amsterdam feel about the place and how they live. Thank you, Johanna, for making the trip memorable. We certainly hope more people that visit Amsterdam would choose this way to see the canals. Thank you for helping us make some wonderful memories.

• Laid back, unique, and the best way to see the city! We loved how they truly "drifted differently".

  This was one of the best decisions of our first trip to Amsterdam. We wanted a low key experience and a small group setting to explore Amsterdam from the canals - this absolutely delivered. Beer was such a wonderful host - clearly knowledgeable and passionate about his city. We were fortunate enough to have the boat to ourselves, and we had great conversation the whole time. We had so many questions, and Beer was so kind and patient to address every single one. Architecture, the locks, history, real estate, the Red Light District... anything was on topic. True to the description, there was no scripted tour, and no dull moments. We learned so much about the canals and culture of the city. The boat, itself, is beautiful. And because it was small, I felt we could go anywhere, and that we DID go anywhere that supported our questions and conversations. I saw a cat on a house boat, and Beer changed course so I could get a picture, lol. I'd go again on another visit, and feel that I'd see something completely new the next time. My recommendation is to go early in your trip, because then when you are walking the city later, it sparks connections to how you saw the city from the water. They also give you a curated list of places to try across the city - the awesome local places you may not stumble upon with a Google Maps search. If you love living like a local, this is the answer - stop scrolling, this is the canal tour you want!

  Truly unique way to experience the canals in a private and boutique experience, friendly guide and you really get to see some Off the Beaten path routes away from the crowd. So much more relaxing, no need to make small talk or share the Boat with strangers. Highly recommend

  We had a wonderful experience taking the Off The Beaten Path Hidden Gems Canal Cruise on the good ship (OK, boat) Diana. We got a great local’s perspective on life in Amsterdam and lots of information about the various neighborhoods as we cruised around. We saw both the famous canal girdle and the less famous canals and islands. Our little antique boat, populated by just our small party, got plenty of admiring looks from the folks on the more crowded more modern boats. We had a great time.
