Come for the sights but stay for the dad jokes! - Landed, squared away our hotel & straight to this canal cruise. BEST time ever with Michele and Thomas. We laughed the entire time while they told us the best stories and pointed out amazing buildings with history. Didn’t want it to end. It was just the two of us and we could’ve stayed for another hour easily!! Don’t pick any other - just GO!! See you in Canada Thomas!! ⛵️

Cruise coolly through Amsterdam for an hour - A really great tour in the sun, in a slightly smaller boat, with very entertaining guides. Jasmine and Luke are a great young crew who really enjoy their job. This trip is worth every penny – and you should book at least the small drinks package, because it’s even chillier with a wine in hand.

Lovely Tour - We went during December so we were only 4 people in our session. It felt very private. Our guide Thomas was very knowledgable and the captain was also nice. Because it's winter the boat was covered with clear windows so you can see the view from every seat without being too cold. If you have some free time during your stay in Amsterdam, def recommend
