Loved the tour! The hosts made sure everyone felt comfortable and even waited for a few ones who were late. The tour itself took a bit over an hour just because the guide really wanted to make sure we saw everything without a hurry. Great people, great sense of humor, amazing storytelling and experience!

What a brilliant thing to do while in Amsterdam. JP and Rick were brilliant guides. They were informative, funny and engaging. The open top boat was comfortable with blankets and a bar. It was beautiful floating along the canals at dusk. Would recommend

Loved loved loved it! We went right around sunset and it was perfect. Dusk with the city lights coming on! Definitely recommend and also the open boat. I had thought about the closed one in case it was cold but it would have taken away from the experience. The boat had blankets so those worked great.
