I took my mom on this tour and we both loved it! Our skipper Mavelly and host Yannick were absolutely amazing. They really knew the city and shared personal stories. We were lucky with the weather but I am 100% sure it will be just as great with less good weather.

The great skipper (Dutch guy, can’t remember his name) and the assistant guide, Morgan, were excellent! They told us a lot of interesting and funny stories about Amsterdam and the Dutch culture. The only downside was the boat itself; at the bow there was what I suspect was a toilet (it was locked) and it was obscuring visibility very much. I’ve already been in many canal cruises in Amsterdam (I live here) and it’s the first time I’m in an open boat like this one, even with the same company.

My friends and I enjoyed a brilliant canal trip with DC and Renata. DC had great banter, very funny and friendly. Renta was very approachable, knowledgeable, funny and didn’t try to push us to buy drinks which was nice. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. Thanks again
