Fun experience. Tour with a few people at sunset. An alternative tour of the canals from the previous tour taken several years ago with another company starting from Amsterdam Centraal. Young staff and fun in explanations, much better than the tours with a registered guide (previous experience). It must be said that perhaps it would have been better to have had a little more attention in the highlights to be photographed (example the canal with 7 bridges).

This walking tour in Amsterdam was the absolute highlight of my vacation in Niederland. We walked through the less touristy parts of the city and was taken through inside alleys - quiet and authentic. Everything is well organized from the boat hopp on hopp off to the public transport.
