The crew was energetic and so informative. The snacks were a lovely addition to a beautiful tour. It was far superior than the prerecorded boat tours that start from Amsterdam Central because 1. The crews the stories and information had such a personal touch 2. The boat was so comfortable you could really enjoy the sights no matter where you sat. 3. The crew. I cannot say enough good things that I have to mention them twice because they are the VIPSs they cared that we had a great experience. Thanks Capatin Cat and Ro!!

Nice way to do canal cruising. Glad that we had the table by ourselves. The lady attending to customers onboard was very polite and accomodating. and was surprised that we had ice cream before end of the tour.

We had a great time with Peter our very attentive guide. It allowed us to discover Amsterdam in an unusual light. Then, he really adapted the ride to our pace. Must do

Captain was good fun, that's what made the trip really outstanding. Photo here is missleading, boat looks very different from what you see in pictures here. Guide was half moderated by the captain and half multilingual records (this was also not expected, but nevermind we were ok with that afterall) It's a charming ride through the canals and with good captain it is a great experience.

Beautiful museum. Easy to get around to see the featured paintings. Great explanations about artists, paintings, etc. The paintings are displayed nicely, far enough apart to not feel to crowded and to allow for photos. Do not miss this museum if in Amsterdam. Both art lovers and non- art lovers will enjoy the ambience and beauty. Be sure to purchase your tickets on line as this venue sells out, especially in busy summer season.
