Lovely quiet private waterway canal tour - This private tour with my husband and I was great! The tour guide was very knowledgeable of the waterways throughout Amsterdam. The 2 hour relaxing tour around the city was a highlight of our holiday here. We went down quiet canal streets which was the best. Also the water tour took us to the busy port to show us other parts of Amsterdam, but the houseboats on the canals were very quaint and in quiet neighborhoods. I was surprised that there were so many quiet canal waterways around the city and many picturesque Bridges to go under. This private canal tour was the best!

Worth it for the small boat and private tour! - We had a great time on this private canal tour for our group of 6. It is definitely worth it to do a private small boat vs a large tour. In the end the price was the same. It is a beautiful way to see Amsterdam and they did a great job telling us around the area as we passed by certain sights. Highly recommend!

Mega nice trip with our skipper Paap - "Rederij Paping" is highly recommended if you want to take a great canal tour through Amsterdam. The entire communication with Carla was super easy and she always responded really quickly. That was very pleasant. The trip with Paap was super pleasant. Thanks to his knowledge of German, my parents were also able to chat and get information about Amsterdam directly from him. Paap is very friendly and attentive. He took beautiful pictures of us whenever he saw a nice motif. We enjoyed the trip to the fullest and would always book through "Book a Tour". Thank you very much!

A fantastic time - I have been a faithful Rederij Paping client for years, and every time I do a tour, it helps me fall in love with Amsterdam even more. Paap is a fantastic skipper with a passion for the water that is palpable. Whether you live in The Netherlands or are a tourist, a family, couple or group of friends, everyone can enjoy themselves on a tour in a safe manner. Don't hesitate to book!
