Pick this canal tour when in Amsterdam!!! - I picked this particular canal tour based on great Trip Advisor reviews, and it didn’t disappoint!! Very nice people and excellent tour guide. The boat was very comfortable, and blankets were provided as it was a chilly evening. Price reasonable and quality 5 star. There are many canal tours offered, but I highly recommend this company’s canal tour.

A fun boat trip through the canals - We had a fun ride in the canals with lively narration interspersed with jokes. The drinks added to the vibe. The company is very accommodating and let us go on an earlier trip since we reached early. They provided us with umbrellas for the ride since it was raining. Highly recommended.

Not as described - I booked this trip specifically to see Anne franks house, this was not somewhere visited; we followed on google maps and went nowhere near it :( the guide spoke too quietly so I could not hear most of the commentary.
