They arranged exactly the company outing I was looking for! - For our company outing they had organized a top boat trip! DE communication with Luuk beforehand was super nice: clear, fast EN personal. He even called EN day before to go through everything and half an hour before departure to wish us lots of fun. That kind of attention really makes all the difference. DE boat itself was clean EN tidy, DE drink was nice and cold, hot bittergarniture was on the way, there was good music EN the staff on board were free EN dignified and helpful. Everything was arranged to DE detail. In short: eEN super experience and as far as I am concerned highly recommended for other companies looking for a relaxing, well-organized boat trip!

Lovely day on the canals - Very accommodating allowing us to change schedule at last minute in hope of better weather. Small boat so it was easy to converse with Jens our commentator and open boat so unobstructed views. Nico was excellent captain. Beer and wine contribute to a festive experience. Different and beautiful perspective of Amsterdam from the canals.

Not great - Tour guide showed up 15 minutes late. Very cramped small bus. Places we visited were just tourist traps. Told to find our own way back to the bus. Very confusing. Then back in Amsterdam the driver put us off a 30 minute walk from where we started with no direction provided. Tour guide was pleasant.

They changed time and location - Received an email that time and location were changed and asking me to get in touch if the new arrangement didn’t work. I did, because it didn’t. Asked for a refund and received no response.
