Excellent canal tour - We booked the trip relatively spontaneously and definitely weren't disappointed. Our skipper was really friendly and knowledgeable about Amsterdam and its history and culture. We'd definitely recommend the private tours with their intimate atmosphere and because we were able to bring our dog along with us and ask as many questions as we liked. What helped as well was the fact that it was sunny and warm throughout our trip, thus making it a pleasant experience.

Sympathetic skipper, great tour, highly recommended - The one-hour canal cruise through Amsterdam with our skipper Paap was a great experience. Paap was very personable and enriched the ride with exciting information and interesting stories about the city and its waterways. He spoke very good German and English, responded to all our questions and took our wishes into account, which made the ride very personal and enjoyable. In addition, there was a very good selection of drinks that rounded off the experience. Highly recommended!

Highlight on our JGA - We were in Amsterdam with a bachelor party and booked this tour. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Our captain Skipper Paap was extraordinarily friendly and accommodating. He has given a lot of information and tips about the area and for tour.
Our ride was at 9 o'clock in the evening and the view with the lights in the darkness was magnificent!
One highlight was that our bachelor himself was allowed to steer.
Very clear recommendation and I can very well imagine booking another tour on our next visit to Amsterdam

SuperDuperWonderful - Wonderful!!! Captain Paping is a very lovely and super knowledgeable host.
Would highly recommend not only the tour but also to tap into the rich world of Captain Oaping as he is in my humble opinion a great story teller as well.
The boat itself was clean, comfortable and most importantly : gezellig! (cozy in Dutch)
Much love and see you on the next tour.
Love Mandy
