Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Our boat trip on the canal was really fun. Jannah was super pleasant and had a lot of interesting information about the canal system, Amsterdam history including a great deal about the last 50 years. We would definitely do this again and highly recommend Jannah. "
"Our group had a wonderful experience with Frederick on our canal tour. The historic boat was comfortable and we loved the views of the city. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended! "
"Bo showed us the less traveled canals & shared insights & stories from her experiences growing up in Amsterdam. We saw magnificent houses, beautiful gardens, 1970’s houseboats, historical buildings & landmarks. The boat was comfortable and evening was fun and relaxing. Highly recommend! "
"We took this canal cruise on our first evening in the city and it was absolutely wonderful. Frederik was a wonderful captain who showed us Amsterdam in an a truly unforgettable way. I highly recommend this experience."
"Thanks for a beautiful evening canal trip :) Lovely boat, and great to see Amsterdam from the water with local knowledge & information"
"Frederik was a delightful host for our canal cruise. We spent two hours aboard the Delphine. Amsterdam’s canals were teeming with boats of every size and shape, as we glided through the waters and around old and older Amsterdam. It was a treat to be in a smaller boat and with only a party of three, instead of those long boats bursting at the seams with large groups. Extremely knowledgeable, Frederik regaled us with some of the history of Amsterdam’s past and present. Would recommend it highly to anyone interested in a canal cruise. "
"The tour was a 10. Exactly what we were looking for. Our guide Bas was incredibly nice. He made sure we were comfortable in every way. Told us all about the city and the history. Bas told us about local things that were happening right now to check out. The boat was really clean and beautiful it was relaxed and private. I watched many of the large tourist boats go by and all the long lines of people waiting to go on tours. This experience was intimate. We truly felt like a local friend picked us up and showed us around their city. "
"Mare took us through the canals and gave some interesting facts and fun stories. We love having a local guide show us around a new city "
"Our family of four had a fantastic experience with Frederick. He communicated well prior to our tour, confirming take and pick-up location and was at the dock, waiting for us the morning of the tour. The boat is absolutely charming, and we enjoyed coffee and pastry along the tour. Frederick was very friendly and full of such interesting knowledge about Amsterdam. We all learned so much, and seeing the city from the quiet, morning canals was really a special experience. It was the highlight of our trip to Amsterdam!"
"Beer was a great skipper, very kind, punctual and full of interesting facts. My family and I were really happy. Totally recommended!! "
