The crew was amazing and very friendly. We missed the meeting point and were very late. They left port but saw us running down the stairs and went back to get us. No other tour would have done something like that. Extremely grateful because the boat ride, scenery, lounging, ocasional historic site info and vibes were just perfect.

Very hard-working tour guide or captain. Spoke a few words from time to time (apart from the audio system), unfortunately difficult to understand without a microphone. But the audio system worked perfectly

Overall experience was great. The guide and hostess on the boat were fabulous and friendly. The boat itself is not very comfortable as the top covering is low and seats are high so your neck and back are quite cramped if it’s a rainy day (which is often in Amsterdam). It would probably be way more comfortable with the top open but on a cold wet day the top needs to be covered.

The bike ride is a lot of fun but a bit stressful because the traffic in many parts of the city is chaotic, and if you are not used to foot brakes it is a bit unnerving. I suggest the use of bikes with brakes on the handlebars ... Our guide Scarlett, however, was very good and nice

Also we had originally been scheduled for a 6:00 time slot and he welcomed us to join him with another small group at 4:00 . Thanks Pedro
