Spacious Boat, Great Captain, Amazing Tour - My husband, dog and I had an amazing experience on this private canal boat tour. The boat was surprisingly roomy and comfortable, making it easy to relax and enjoy the ride. It was so nice that this company is dog friendly! Our captain Paap was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and full of interesting insights that really brought the surroundings to life. The entire tour felt personal and well-paced, and it was absolutely worth the money. I’d highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable time on the water.

Lovely cruise with good atmosphere - The experience was really lovely, I would recommend it to everyone. We could ask what we want and Paap told us everything. I am excited to do this trip again in spring when the atmosphere will be different than now in winter.

Wonderful family experience with our guide Lucas - We had a great experience with our tour guide Lucas. The whole trip was planned very well and communication was excellent. Lucas met us at the exact time as planned and offered us recommendations for a great trip. Our February trip was cold but Lucas made sure we were warm and comfortable for our 90-minute journey. The boat was nice and the canal cruise was excellent. The price was very reasonable compared to what we had seen elsewhere. Do not hesitate to book you canal cruise!

Unique Canal Experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - We had the best time with Skipper Paap! He showed us way more than we expected and took the time to capture several photos of us. I’ve taken a few canal tours and this one was far more exciting and enjoyable than the others. Highly recommend this private 90-min tour!

Magical - Paap was a great host, he took us on a guided tour of the canals and told the history and pointed out all of the key sites. The boat was superb, it had heated seats and blankets, so we never felt cold during November. We also had drinks and chocolate. It was magical, especially when all of the lights came on. I would highly recommend this tour.
