Tour guides were great and authentic! - Our tour guides Pepyr and Michel were the best I could have asked for. They were both really captivating and told many cool stories about the city.

This boat ride was so fun!!!! - Thomas and Michel were our Captain and Crew - favorite fun tour ! We just flew in - dropped off our bags at the hotel and was told to book this tour (if you drink book this canal trip with the drinks) we hopped on the boat and just relaxed and enjoyed the knowledge and history about the city ! The staff were hysterical! So fun and just made the day perfect! Great start to a fabulous weekend in Amsterdam ! Great crew - BOOK YOUR CANAL TRIP TODAY!

When tourists enjoy in their own city - Fantastic fun trip. Great Skipper Joep and Indian Guide for the English Speakers. We are an older couple and have heard new things while living in Amsterdm. Recommended do your city as a tourist after the museum the boat trip, The weather was good. Top just enjoy once as a tourist in your own city. Thank you Joep and colleague.

Appalling guide - This was the worst boat tour ever (and we have done a few across Europe!) for following two reasons: First, our guide (Thommy) constantly made inappropriate comments about women, ethnic minorities, politics, tourists, sex workers etc. He also made inappropriate sexual comments in the presence of children. Second, we learn’t close to nothing about the city as such, the buildings we saw or their history. All he talked about was how much houses cost and that the city ist taken over by tourists. All in all, a bad experience. Find another company or guide.
