Beyond happy with our experience

We loved the experience! And the best captain, very friendly, Ricky. We did a tour with visualisation goggles, it was something spectacular, you could see Amsterdam from back in the days. What was nice about it was that you didn’t have to wear those goggles all the time, only at the special spots. We truly loved the experience. Highly recommended!

Pizza and cruising on a canal

Ricky was our captain and I sadly don’t remeber the names of the crew members. Everyone was amazing, they were all so friendly! Ricky opened the back of the boat and it made the experience so much better! Also love that we get our own personal pizza. 100% recommend.
