Perfect Amsterdam Experience with Robert! - We had such a wonderful time on our canal boat tour with Robert! From the moment we stepped on board, he made us feel welcome and relaxed.
The boat was comfortable and beautifully maintained, offering amazing views of Amsterdam's historic canals.
Robert was the perfect host-knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the city. He shared interesting stories and hidden details
that made the cruise even more special. The wine and cheese selection was excellent and paired beautifully with the peaceful ride through the canals.
It was the perfect mix of sightseeing, relaxation, and local charm. We would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Amsterdam—it's a highlight of our trip!

Good way to spend 2 hrs in Amsterdam! - Robbert was a great captain. Very pleasant and informative. This was a small tour, 14 of us total, which made it very intimate. Choice of beverages was nice, as we chose to include our drinks. There were several nice beer choices, as well as many nice wines, and just enough snacks. (A charcuterie board per two people rather than a “buffet style” where everyone was eating from.
