“This is a great tour. The only one that lasts for 1.5 hours and you don’t have to pay for drinks upfront. Eddy our driver and guide was super cool and full of information in a relaxed manner. Discussion in the group came easy and the pace was really comfortable as were the cushions on the boat. Highly recommended!”

“Captain Joao did an excellent job navigating, educating and entertaining every passenger on board. I especially appreciated his specifically curated notes for each passenger who mentioned a personal connection or interest to different parts of our voyage. It was an excellent way to start our first visit to Amsterdam!”

“This was a fantastic canal cruise without the crowds and commercial crap! Bring your own snacks and drinks (if you want) and enjoy the ride. Great history and cultural information about Amsterdam that wasn't blasted over a loudspeaker Much more intimate setting and interactive experience. A very personal tour and low-key experience. Highly recommended!”

“It was our first time in Amsterdam and we were looking for a good tour with an open cruise and with a little group. Then we found this. It was really really beautiful. We loved it! It was easy to come to the start and Jamie our Tourguide was really nice and friendly. He talked about Amsterdam and the history and showed us some special places. U could ask him anything and it was really chill. So it’s worth the money!”

“Artilla, our tour guide, was wonderful and had a lots of interactive stories vibing off our chats. It made for a personal and relaxed style tour in a quiet and eco friendly electric boat. Would recommend it over the larger boats and we also enjoyed having our own food whilst others had the on board offering. It was chill and a great morning. Do it.”

“We had a fantastic 1 1/2 hour boat trip with Attila who was very friendly and had a great sense of humour. He was very knowledgeable and interesting and clearly loves his job. Would highly recommend this if you want a smaller group (12 people max) as you get to explore some of the smaller canals too. Would give 10 stars if we could 😊”
