Damn what a start to Amsterdam - This was an amazing tour and an awesome experience. Private for four and our guide answered all of our questions and provided so much info. He was so great. Had a couple of beers each. It lasted two hours and included so much of the city and canals, even the red light district. We had been delayed and our skipper was so flexible and pushed our tour back 2 hours. This was the best low key way to start our trip. Easy to do with jet lag.

Experienced skipper who clearly loves his job and city - We had a great tour with Paap. He met us on time at our meeting spot. He accommodated for our young kids with a stop for a bathroom break, a route by the zoo so we could spot giraffee and zebras and stops to feed the ducks/swan which was the highlight for our kids. Paap was very knowledgeable and a great introduction to Amsterdam

Best skipper on the canal - Great time. SkipperPaap was very infomartive and a great host. The roof has covered boat since it was drizzling on our tour but side windows were up so unobstructed view. Got to tour all around different areas. We brought our own drinks but there was also supplies on board so we did not need to. Easy non crowded spot to meet for boat pick up. Would highly suggest. Great way to spend late afternoon after doing so much walking around town for a few days. So many tours to choose from but this was a great choice! Highly recommend. Boat for about 12 or so. We did private for 6 of us and was perfect.

Great private tour of Amsterdam's gorgeous canals - Loved the tour, the stories, and the private experience. Drinks and snacks weren't a part of our tour, but we really didn't care. Would book again.

Relaxing Boat Ride through the Canals - We loved our private boat tour through the many canals in Amsterdam! It was a hot day and a perfect way to see the charming sites while staying cool. Mark was very knowledgeable and gave us a good understanding of the Dutch history and culture including what houseboat living is like!
