Fantastic captain, great commentary, and delicious food & drink!

Wonderful canal ride around Amsterdam! Sebi, our captain and host, was fantastic, providing just the right amount of background and history to make the sights come alive. The food and beverages were fantastic, fresh, and enjoyable. (Sebi even stopped at one point to pick up freshly prepared food from a restaurant along the way.) We had a great time with the other guests, too! We definitely recommend this tour.

Simon was a great guide, adapted to the groups different needs, and we had such a fun time. The only thing I would consider for shorter people, that their smallest bike was big for my family member which made it a little challenging for her to get on and off.

Just amazing

Just amazing! Took the English tour on 30-Sep. Started at 9:30 and returned around 17:30, and was lucky to have Amna as the guide and Ness as the gentleman looking after everyone. Quick highlights * Generally, the time allocation is sufficient. Maybe Zaanse schans deserves a longer duration. It is heaven. * The guide - Amna - was very knowledgeable, Friendly, engaging and fluent. * The suggested restaurant for Volendam's lunch was great and has 4+ star rating in Google. It wasn't just a referral partnership which is worth mentioning. * Special thanks To Ness for always taking an extra mile to create positive customer experience.

Sunset Canal Cruise

We booked the sunset cruise. Our captain, Paap was so knowledgeable, sharing both the history and love for his country. It rained quite hard and we were so pleased that the boat was covered and we weren’t getting soaked as some of the participants on other tour boats were. Our boat was comfortable and Paap provided nice small touches; the warm blankets were the best! We had a great evening and got lots of recommendations for places to visit during our stay. Highly recommend this small private tour!

Amsterdam Highlights Bike or E-Bike Tour

E-Bike for us

We went on an e-bike tour today, and it was so much fun! Our group was pretty small, which made it feel nice and quaint. Katya was our tour guide, and she was so energetic, knowledgeable, and full of interesting information. She asked us if there was anything special we wanted to see, which made the tour feel somewhat customized. One of the highlights for me was visiting the Holocaust Memorial. It was a very emotional experience, especially for me personally. Katya also took us to a wonderful market where we tasted some amazing cheese and had the best herring I have ever had! Everything was delicious. All in all, this was a fantastic tour, and I highly recommend it. If you book this tour, I would definitely ask for Katya. She made the experience so enjoyable and memorable!

Must do!

The tour was awesome! We had Ben and he was wonderful! Super knowledgeable and very entertaining. He made the tour so fun and also gave all kinds of recommendations. I highly recommend this tour and having Ben as your guide. Also, I want to mention we originally were supposed to go on the 8pm private tour, but were unable due to travel issues. Luckily they were able to get us on this group tour with the late notice and even though we only had Saturday night availability. They also gave us an Anne Frank walking tour. We really appreciated the fact that they accommodated us and both tours were great.

She was extremely informative and enthusiastic and at no time in the 5 hours did her enthusiasm wane. She truly made the tour most memorable

Great intro to Amsterdam

I did this tour on my first day in Amsterdam and it was a great way to get my bearings in the city and get ideas of areas I wanted to come back to. It was a small group of 4 of us and our guide was very welcoming. I appreciated being taken to small local shops that didn't feel touristy. Highly recommend

Our tour with Eveline...

Our tour with Eveline went well. She picked us up at our hotel and walked us through central Amsterdam. We could have taken better advantage of the private tour by making a list of sites we wanted to see, but she was still able to take us to the highlights even without such a list and get us to the canal tour at the end of the tour on time.

Reliable tour company

We signed up for this tour after the similar tour we had tickets for with Snurk Tours was canceled due to “not filling up”. As it turned out, we were the only 2 people on this tour and this company still gave us a 2.5+ hour tour! We appreciate this tour company (WOW) going over and above to keep their commitment. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and as a former professor he was very good at explaining Amsterdam’s history and culture. This was our first day in Amsterdam and both of us came away from the tour feeling like we have a very good understanding of Amsterdam.
