Request griffin!

Benjamin_C, Jul 2026

Griffin was very knowledgeable and friendly! Highly recommend! Answered all our questions and made us feel comfortable!

I can't recommend Eddie...

Cody_S, Jun 2026

I can't recommend Eddie and this experience enough - if you're wanting a private, scenic, and memorable tour of Amsterdam from the water, THIS is the tour to book. Very personable and friendly, Eddie answered many questions that we had. Even as the ship captain, it felt like he was part of our group and made our visit to Amsterdam an authentic one. Thank you again.

Response from Host, Jun 2026
