We had a great time, and our guide was a lovely Dutch girl (pic but sorry i forgot her name!) who explained so much about the culture, architecture, food etc. Having a light breakfast v the many boats that are alcohol heavy is more our vibe so we really enjoyed it, and really felt we experienced the culture of Amsterdam.

Captain Storm was full of information and humor. We had wonderful time! It was especially nice to be on the canals in the morning before the rush...calm...peaceful...beautiful.

We booked the canal tour and it was such a great way to explore and see the city of Amsterdam! The weather was beautiful, some snacks and drink were included and captain storm was funny and able to answer all questions we had! A lot of other tours on the canals we passed were larger boats with more people and it just didn’t seem as intimate. I would definitely recommend a smaller tour like this one! Captain storm was able to point out some special spots for us and give us more about the history of the city. He really was a wealth of information and just a great guy in general! This was such a unique way to see and learn about the city and I would 100% recommend!

Very nice boat and guide. Great job navigating the narrow canals. Mare was knowledgeable and good humored which made the tour very enjoyable.

Breakfast is skimpy and the captain/tour guide spends most of the time making corny jokes instead of telling you much about Amsterdam.

Eric was great. A true local with lots of knowledge.
We had the perfect weather, with perfect company. A great way to start our Amsterdam journey.
