We enjoyed a lovely afternoon canal cruise with Skipper Deep, who engaged us with casual conversation about Amsterdam's history. - Recommend this cruise for a laid back afternoon for exploring Amsterdam's canals. The skipper had cold beverages on board, and we brought our own snacks. He engaged us in Amsterdam's history without sounding like a tour guide. The cruise was more like an afternoon with a good friend!

Beautiful evening canal cruise - The private canal cruise is the way to go - we had a beautiful early evening cruise with Skipper Paap who was super knowledgeable, friendly and very capable on the canal. We saw so much we had t appreciated until we did this cruise and learned a lot. I would definitely recommend the private cruise as a very nice option.

Warm Reception and Beautiful Stories on the Water - We are warmly welcomed by the guide during the boat trip. In an enthusiastic and involved way he knew how to tell us a lot about Amsterdam. In addition, he showed us beautiful places from the water that we might not have discovered otherwise. Thanks to his knowledge and hospitality we enjoyed this beautiful boat trip enormously!

Lovliest introduction to Amsterdam - We had an amazing time on our canal cruise with Captain Deep: it was relaxing, educational, and beautiful. It rained a little bit, but we stayed warm and dry with the heated seats and overhead cover. I can’t think of a better introduction to the city of Amsterdam.
