A great experience! - We had a great experience. We were greeted by our captain and offered beverages immediately upon boarding the boat. We chatted and got acquainted as he readied the boat. We had enjoyed conversation, some history and stories of the area during our time onboard. We went through several of the canals and learned a lot about the area and the history. The captain, Deep, was very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely go again sometime.

A beautiful afternoon around Amsterdam - Spent a beautiful afternoon around the canals with Skipper Paap who gave us a nice overview of the city. So glad we did this instead of a group tour. Amsterdam is a unique city and seeing it through a private tour made it extra special. Highly recommend this.

Beautiful tour! - We had an amazing tour during a long layover. We were running late and the tour guide waited for us. He gave us a great tour and kept cool when our baby who was exhausted from travel had a meltdown. Thank you so much for the beautiful memories!

Best private tour - Best and most personal ride around the canals. Rederij Had lots of history to share while we could see the lights. The boat is covered and heated. Would go again if still there.

Rainy but pleasant evening- private boat tour - Great communication and customer service. We were staying in the Jordan neighborhood and conveniently, that’s where the meeting place was set for. The boat showed up exactly on time and our skipper greeted us with a friendly ahoy and a smile. Little Lindt chocolates and warm tea was waiting for us which was perfect as it was a rainy, cold evening. We almost sent a msg that we would not go, even if we would have lost our payment, as we were not excited about doing the boat tour in the dreary weather. Boy are we glad we didn’t cancel. The boat operator had pulled over the roof and plastic sides therefore we did not get wet and…. surprise, the seats were heated. Very happy about that detail! The one hour tour was sufficient for us and we enjoyed the evening lights of the canal. We greatly enjoyed the tour and would recommend spending a little more of your hard earned money on a private tour such as this to truly enjoy the experience.
