Excellent boat trip around Amsterdam - We had a wonderful tour with Tallon and Angele (Angela?). They were fun and informative and dealt admirably with 4 rather intoxicated Brits who also joined the trip (and exited to find a WC before the tour was over). We larned a lot about the canals and scene and scenery of Amsterdam. They took us through areas that are somewhat off the beaten path. All in all, a very pleasant way to spend a couple of hours. Highly ecommended.

Grand Experience - This was wonderful! Our captain Nikk and Host Tallon were fun and friendly. The group was small and because the boat was smaller we got to go through locks that larger boats could not fit into. We learned interesting history and facts About the city and buildings along the canal. I would do this tour again!

Wonderful Evening Canal Trip! - This boat tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Amsterdam! Such wonderful fun facts delivered by two amazing women (Mariam & Louise). It was such an entertaining and relaxing hour on the canals. We even considered booking the same tour for the next night!

Great first night tour! - Great stories, great facts, had so much fun! Viator was glitching, and I couldn't pull up my tickets, but our guide found us, and things were perfect after that! Had a little wine, and learned a lot about the city, which helped us understand what we were seeing on our first night in the city.

A highlight - We’re very glad we chose this company for our canal cruise. Our captain was Marc and our hostess was Angela (Angele?). They told us lots about what we were seeing. Great atmosphere on board. There were 11 passengers on the boat. We had plenty of room and were made comfortable with cushions and blankets. It rained a bit but there was shelter so we didn’t get wet. We got a generous bowl of cheese and a choice of a cocktail or three drinks. Then if you wanted more you could buy it, but that was plenty. I highly recommend them.

Fun and informative - We had a very interesting tour on a small boat with just 8 visitors and our two guides André and Ties. They pointed out lots of different places of interest with extra information about Amsterdam. Very friendly and welcoming and we would recommend highly.
