A wonderful trip along the Amsterdam canals. You can see the city from a different perspective. The boat crew was very friendly and told interesting stories about the city.

Onno and Jose were amazing and entertaining. It was raining when we initially started (we really wanted to get on the flower and we weren’t disappointed) and they were accommodating - made sure we were dry and safe. We went as a group of 5, so it was perfect. We experienced rain and shine - which added to the beautiful charm of the city. We will do this again! Thank you to our gracious hosts. Love Amsterdam- this was a highlight of our trip.
