Highly recommended!! - We had a really great trip with Berta and Levi, seeing many parts of Amsterdam we would otherwise never have visited. They were both very informative and entertaining, and we left having learnt some very interesting facts, as well as enjoying fabulous cheese and plenty of wine. Highly recommended!!

Very Nice Way to See Amsterdam - We had a great time with the driver and tour guide, with yummy cheese and nice wine along the way. I would definitely go again. I liked that the boat was smaller than many of the others, and we had plenty of extra space with only our group of 3 plus about 5 or 6 other people on the boat. We went mid-day, and I would like to take the same tour at night. It picks up and drops off in the Red Light District, so it is convenient to many restaurants.

Highly recommend - Great canal tour. Very entertaining. Good value. Highly recommend. We were lucky as it was a sunny day. If you book online it’s slightly cheaper than paying on the day.

Cool, quick way to see the city - Perfect way to see the city! Not too much time and definitely worth the price tag. We received 3 glasses of beer, wine or soda, which was perfect for our trip. Highly recommend.

Friendly, fun, and relaxing tour - A canal tour of Amsterdam is a great way to get your bearings in the city and see things from a different perspective. Our friendly hosts (Lynsay, Vince, and Mikk) provided historical and colorful details about what we floated past. The ride was relaxing and fun. We were blessed with sunshine and fine weather, which made our trip all the more pleasant. Beverage service was available, which could enhance the relaxation part, but we did not partake.

Wonderful tour and staff - Great guides and boat! Lots of cool information and also the guides had great senses of humors. Wish our boat canopy had been put down as it made viewing a bit more difficult. The meeting point is a little tricky since there was many boat companies that leave from this location. Just ask, ask, ask any boat company and they were all very helpful in locating the correct one. A great way to see the canals with a fun staff!
