Amazing way to enjoy Amsterdam! My wife and I wanted to experience the old city from the canals and we couldn't ask for a better guide than Jasmin. She creates the atmosphere to feel you are the only ones in the boat, sharing all the information you need and answering all your queries. Special mention to Floris the captain that was joyful during all the trip
It was exactly what we were hoping for, a tour through the old city at sunset. Floris is an amazing "capitan", and Jasmin an amazing guide. She was really patient and energetic, and explained everything really well. She also offered help with indications and recommendations after the tour finished.
This was a lovely way to see Amsterdam. We booked a later time so that we could see the city lit up. Our captain was so friendly and shared a lot of info and facts with us. I would highly recommend it.
Highly recommended tour. Emily and Marigold were very nice and friendly. They provided us with great information about the city.
We had such a great experience on the canal tour! The boat driver was extremely personable and friendly. Our tour guide, Tatiana, went above and beyond to provide amazing commentary and advice for our trip. Excellent experience and definitely a highlight of our trip.
Such a great canal tour. The guide knew a ton but was also fun and interactive. It was relaxing and the drinks were nice
All of the staff were very friendly and considerate. The cruise was quiet and calm. We enjoyed everything about it.
A great, relaxing and informative canal cruise. Cruised through a lot of areas around Amsterdam and saw many sites. The captain and his first mate were fantastic and fun.
Was amazing experience, thanks for the boat skipper and the guide
I recommend this experience 100%!! The tour lasted 1 hour 30 minutes (instead of one hour :) ) We benefited from unlimited cold water and a "V.I.P" tour thanks to the heat. The staff is very present and attentive, giving us information and addresses upon request and/or spontaneously. The little extra: toilets on board!! Very good tour of Amsterdam for our short stay. Languages spoken on board: English, Dutch, and a little bit of French.
