Beautiful afternoon cruising Amsterdam’s Canals. - This tour was suggested by our B&B host. We had a lovely 90 minutes with Capt Eddie. We were also blessed with beautiful weather and saw Amsterdam with a very different view from the water. Capt Eddie was entertaining and knowledgeable and we recommend this tour.

Unforgettable Canal Tour - The guide told us interesting and just enough we really enjoyed. Beautifully decorated boat and delicious with a glass of wine. We were also told that the permanent houseboats are so expensive.

Great Captain (Attila) and great ride! - Captain Attila explained so much history and the small open boat was perfect- much better than the larger, crowded boats. The Captain had a great sense of humor and was enjoyed by all.

Tour with a different perspective! - Great way to see Amsterdam and get a different perspective. João was an excellent tour guide and had many interesting stories to share about Amsterdam history, culture and architecture. While the tour company sells beverages, you can also bring your own.

Best way to experience the city! - We were very lucky to have perfect weather on the day and our guide Captain João was so welcoming and knowledgable. During the tour he pointed out amazing little details that one may miss easily if not aware of before hand. We very treated to new stories about the city around every corner. And would any answer questions we could think of. It is worth your time and money to do this tour. I cannot speak about the other captains but you would be lucky to get Captain João.
