It was a great experience. The captain was very kind, genttle and funny. The boat was secure and the cruise showed us the touristic points while we heard about the history of Amsterdam. My wife and I very much recommend the tour. Thanks for the amazing time.

Thanks to the captain, the canal tour was very informative and fun. We had a great time. Unfortunately it was a bit rainy, but we stayed dry thanks to the glass roof. We learned a lot and got some tips for our stay in Amsterdam.
