A walk on the canals - We enjoyed our little cruise on the canals of Amsterdam. We were lucky to only be 9 on the boat. We were able to take advantage of the guide and ask him questions about the places we crossed. The boat has an open sky and in a small group is very pleasant, We recommend.

Personal and cozy tour - Had a great time, and the guides Lex and Kevin were super nice and welcoming. The boat was a bit smaller, which was super cozy. I definitely recommend!

Daniel was great. - Daniel was great. Very knowledgeable. We were tired from an overnight plane flight. The crowd on board were younger with a number of drinkers. Daniel answered all of my questions. I felt the you crowd was more interested in drinking than learning. Again, Daniel was great

Warm Experience on a Cold Rainy Night - We were a group of 8 friends and family having a grand time with a very informative skipper! The holiday art work that dotted the canals were quite interesting, curious, and festive all at once. Gotta do this again. Highly recommended for holiday travelers.

Good tour but not exceptional - We arrived Amsterdam in the late afternoon, we found this tour last minute. The tour was ok. We expected more facts about the city, less stories (it’s just our preference). The tour guide and captain were very friendly. Overall an average tour, not exceptional.

Not as described - I booked this trip specifically to see Anne franks house, this was not somewhere visited; we followed on google maps and went nowhere near it :( the guide spoke too quietly so I could not hear most of the commentary.
