Nice boat tour - Despite the bad weather it was a great boat tour with the extremely friendly skipper Paap. You could close the boat on the sides so we could explore in dry Amsterdam.

Family private atmosphere - With Skipper Paap we took a beautiful, private 2-hour canal cruise for two in a small boat. As an Amsterdamer, he knew not only a lot about the sights but also a lot that is not in any guidebook. The seats were heated, which was very pleasant in this cool weather. The value for money was absolutely fine. How do the shipping company Papping recommend to everyone who appreciates a personal family atmosphere!☆♡

Better than the rest! - In October, my partner and I took an afternoon private boat trip for 2 hours on the canals of Amsterdam with Rederij Paping. And it was a wonderful experience, mainly because of the companionship of Marc and Carla, the owners. They are a friendly Dutch couple so it felt like we were sailing with friends. The boat was luxurious and cozy. Because of the little rain, the boat was covered by a transparent canvas that was open on the front. So we stayed dry and could see everything from the canals. It was possible to choose the sites we wanted to visit. We live in Amsterdam but it is a beautiful way to see Amsterdam from the water. Marc could tell us everything about the city's history and canals, and we obtained new knowledge about our own city. Splendid! We really recommend a boat trip through the canals with Redeij Paping. Marc and Carla, thank you for that wonderful afternoon!!
