    Pure Joy!
    A first class experience! Our Captain John was warm, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He provided us with an overview of the history of Amsterdam from its origins right up to the modern day which was both fascinating and entertaining. The snacks and drinks on offer were delicious and plentiful with options for everyone. We were a group of six and met some lovely fellow travellers from both the UK & USA. We all got along famously which enhanced the overall experience. Highly recommend.

    Fantastic Corporate Event on "The Lounge" boat
    23 colleagues and myself had a great experience aboard "The Lounge" boat, with a fantastic buffet and included drinks, and even in the cold winter evening, we were super confortable. Dennis, the captain, Oscar the host and bar man, and Jurgen, who organised the trip from the office, were all fantastic. I hope to see you again next year!

    Easy, comfortable, fun!
    Rented the boat with two friends in February!
    Even though February can be cold, sailing on a sunny day brings you back to summer!
    The staff explained the instructions super clearly and we had two hours of freedom and fun in the canals.
    Driving the boat is super easy and intuitive, can't wait for the spring to rent again a boat!
    We were in three, but the boat is comfortable for many more people.
    I recommend to everyone to try this experience, you will then do it again!

    Wine & Cheese Boat Tour
    Some disorganization at the start of the boat tour. Left late. But the wine & cheese tour was very nice. Christophe and Adriana were knowledgeable and fun! Great tour once we got started.

    Fun way to break up a city break with teenagers
    Great welcome, simple instructions, easy to follow map and boat driving an easily mastered skill. All good. If you take the two hour trip you have time to stop for a coffee etc. We followed the route at full speed and arrived back with 25 mins to spare. We should have stopped.

    So Much Fun !!!
    My wife and I are back from our first trip to Amsterdam. It was a blast. We traveled the week of Sept 11. We did a large boat tour the first morning we arrived so I was reluctant to do another. I'm so glad my wife insisted we do this . We booked early in the morning so it felt like we had the canals to ourselves. After a quick but informative instruction on the operation of the boat we were off. It was 3 hours of pure heaven. It was peaceful and relaxing. The pace was just right and we had the ability to stop and even go back to see the things we wanted to. The perspective from a small boat was completely different than the larger tour. We were greeted by J.P who explained how to operate the boat and the suggested routes we could take. He's was very nice. We arrived early and had a wonderful conversation about Dutch culture . In spite of paying attention to everything we got lost. That was half the fun. This is where Isa Jp's coworker shined. We called her when we realized we couldn't find our way back. She asked us what was around us and quickly got us back on track. If you can make your way over to Vondelepark when your done there's a nice restaurant there. The pizza was amazing.

    Absolutely wonderful
    We really enjoyed our trip with the dream team Anna M. and Roger :) So much better with the two personal guides who gave us interesting insights than the usual trips with audio guide!

    Cozy boat trip through the Lights Festival 2018
    Good organization and a clear booking process through the website. Cheaper than other companies ánd all drinks included (soda, beer, wine, gluhwein). Both the host and the skipper knew their stuff well and told the backstories about all the artworks.
    The boat is rather small (fits about 20) so a cozy atmosphere.
    Only drawback is that if it's raining they cover the boat with clear plastic instead of glass windows which is not entirely see-through when it's full off raindrops.
