I booked this for my sisters hen do! Staff and tour guides couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful. They were amazing! The tour itself was fantastic and super fun! I've forgotten our hosts name but he looked like a young Brendan Fraser and was super informative and fun! Would highly recommend this to anyone traveling to Amsterdam. Even as a couple or with your family. 10/10

Lots of confusion about our booking and which side of canal to go from as our cruise and drink option didn’t appear to match what was on offer and we wanted the open boat as advertised. But the staff running the cruises were very helpful especially Tom and Merel and we did get to go on a lovely canal cruise with drinks in the end and it was a wonderful activity especially with the sun ☀️ shining down and the crew were very friendly. Great photos and memories

Boaat was really late, but not overly an issue. Boat itself was ok, defo not a luxury though, just quite standard, there were no glasses for the wine so we drank beers but they ran out. Tour guides were ok alittle monotone but the information they provided was good. All round it was ok
