We enjoyed the cruise very much. Two hours felt far too short, as Captain Erik’s stories were so engaging that we hardly had enough time to take in the beautiful views of the canals. There was a nice selection of snacks and drinks, making it easy to relax. The small group size also created a warm and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended!!!

We booked the tour as we missed out on getting tickets. However we absolutely loved it and was worth it. Melissa our guide was a wealth of information without it being too high brow. We learned loads and she was always on hand for local tips and recommendations. We got far more out of the museum than we would have ordinarily (as well as having a better time). Thanks Melissa!

There was an expert guided tour through the beautifully illuminated canals at night. You could also ask questions directly. The service staff was attentive and cheerful. The captain did great. It was wonderful and the cheese and three types of wine to choose from tasted wonderful. This tour is highly recommended :-) Keep it up! Greetings, Mr & Mrs Zurich ;-)

Very informative tour guide (Anna Marie) on the bus trip to Bruges, she has a lot of knowledge about Amsterdam, very enjoyable. After a 3 hour drive (went by quickly) we met up with our tour guide Alistair for the tour of Bruges. We wandered through this amazing medieval city and Alistair entertained us with the incredible history of Bruges. Highly recommend this tour such knowledgeable tour guides and the driver of bus was excellent too!

Good value for money. The boats are filled quickly, with no breaks in between, no long waiting times. No one has to stay on the quay and be "devastated" (quote from another review). The audio guide was appropriate (GPS-oriented) and the instructions from our "captain" were useful.

We chose the private tour because we are unable to catch the guided tour timing. We completed the private tour in about an hour. Main reason is our guide, Peter provided us with verbal explanation of van gogh life and how to look out for his works right at the beginning. so we navigating through the exhibits easily. Meet up is not difficult as he arranged to meet us outside a burger restaurant opposite the main entrance of the musuem. We enjoyed the tour and learn much on van gogh.

The trip was nice and the guide was very friendly and explained and told a lot. He was also good at answering questions. The only thing that bothered me was the poles that normally hold the tarpaulin. Some of them were a little in the way or you had to contort yourself a bit to look around them. Otherwise great trip!

Our tour guide, Simon, was an absolute delight. He was incredibly welcoming and captivating. The locations were breathtaking, and Simon did an exceptional job sharing the rich history of the Netherlands. He explained how the country was constructed using windmills and the ingenious creation of dikes and dams. We thoroughly enjoyed driving through the picturesque countryside, marveling at the sight of horses and cows grazing peacefully in the lush, grassy wetlands.
