Paap was right on time and easy to find! We booked a private tour and it was worth it! Papa was super knowledgeable, having lived on a house boat for years! He answered every question (I had a ton!) with a cheerful smile. I learned SO much about the area. Book now! You won't regret it :)

Our tour guide, Lucas, was great. He was knowledgeable and super friendly. The canal tour was beautiful and we really enjoyed it. He also provided snacks and Prosecco, which was a nice touch. We also asked him for a restaurant recommendations and knew the area well. We would recommend this tour.

We had a lovely time. Our skipper Deep was a really great guy and we talked about many interesting things. Great views, and not rushed, just a perfect, relaxed evening. Highly recommended.

We had the best experience with Deep. Not only was he very experienced, but he was also really kind and so many fun things to share about Amsterdam. We loved listening to the stories and understanding the history cruising around :) We’d love to go again with him!
