I enjoyed the trip. we did have a group of 6 that got there right before we left. The man felt entitled to have he and his group sit together and thought people sitting alone should move...A young Turkish girl was asked to move and the group was happy to take her place. She and I had been at least 40 minutes earley...Well, the rude guests proceded to talk, talk, talk the whole trip bearley looking around or up from there phones. it made it very difficult to hear the capitan... Other than that, it was a great trip.

This is a must do activity. We opted for an evening tour as the city looks beautiful as night sets in. Smooth journey and the Skipper was great too. He spoke Perfect English and we learnt many new things about amsterdam. Great Value for me and a great time.

Great little trip around the canals of Amsterdam. The weather had improved and we were able to sit outside at the very back of the boat.

The location to board for the tour is perfect! It is directly across from the Anne Frank House and very easy to find. Just look for the yellow boats! The boat was very clean and partially covered and partially open. Food and Drinks were available for purchase. The guide was knowledgeable and accommodating and shared historical facts and personal knowledge about the canal area with a bit of humor. We highly recommend this tour!

Wonderful guide, wonderful driver. I can’t say it was the most impressive tour we have ever made in our lives but we really enjoyed it, a different experience and worth to visit village..Other than that special thanks goes to Bianca, she is a very professional tour guide, you feel very comfortable with her. Value for money
