Don’t miss! - We had a blast biking around! We were initially intimidated by the bikers when we arrived to Amsterdam. However, a few minutes into our tour we felt incredibly safe and quickly learned the rules of the bike paths (and this even helped us be better pedestrians!)! We loved this trip so much we took the four hour countryside bike tour as well! Would highly recommend!

Robbert was great! - We had Robbert as our skipper. He was super informative, took questions and was overall a great time. The boat was small and intimate. Would definitely do it again!

Superb trip. Felt much more special than the larger boats. - A superb trip. We left and arrived back on time, staff were excellent: friendly, polite and knowledgeable. The boat was in superb condition and snacks were laid out for us before we boarded. The bar was included and guests on board had sparkling wine, rose, beers and more. First drinks were served for us and then we were free to help ourselves to refills.
Our guide was pleasant and created a sense of fun and enjoyment. The route was interesting and showed plenty of the canal network.
Would definitely recommend.

Great guide, great city - Robert was our guide— very personable and knew a lot about the city. The smaller boat size was nice as we had room to spread out and enjoy the views. Amsterdam is beautiful from the canal view and a tour like this one is a must.
