Amazing experience - recommend 100% - Absolutely 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!

Amsterdam seen from the water - Another way to discover Amsterdam. In the company of our cockerel and with a skipper at the top, walk in the canals through different areas of the city.

Our Family's Highlight in Amsterdam! - This tour came highly recommended to us by a family member, and it did not disappoint. Marc was fantastic! He knows the canals in and out, took us on a 2 hour tour allowing us to see pretty much all of Amsterdam, and still made time for scenic photo stops. He even had candy and beverages on board. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in a relaxing way to see Amsterdam in privacy.

Highlight during our city break - There were six of us and we booked the 90-minute canal cruise in German. It was wonderful, a highlight during our city break! We started after dinner, which was perfect as there was not much going on on on the water anymore (this can be different in the afternoon). Our skipper, the boss himself, is totally nice, explained a lot to us and was able to answer all our questions. There were even free drinks on board. We really enjoyed the tour - a MUST in Amsterdam! Thanks for this great experience 🤩!!!

Highly recommended tour! - We were allowed to experience a great tour with Paap. Lots of nice impressions and information, even if the weather was unfortunately not so great. There was hot tea for that, and we saw a lot. Can only be recommended without restriction and also repeated!

Dreamlike canal tour in Amsterdam - Our girls tour in Amsterdam with the highlight of the canal tour with Pepp was beautiful!!! Pepp has a mega cozy boat and is a very friendly skipper and great host. We can recommend this individual canal tour WITHOUT audio guide to anyone. Anytime very happy again. DANKE Pepp 🧡

Great guy, great tour,... - Great 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!
