Knowledgeable & entertaining

The Captain (Skipper) I think Captain T was really knowledgeable it was great to learn about the geography and history and I must say he made me laugh out loud several times 🤭 My 2nd time to Amsterdam but first time really exploring so that was really great. Also I only booked 1 drink and I asked for another and he didn’t even mention paying or ask upon departure I thought that was really cool & welcoming. Thanks for the fun !

Loved our cruise!

John Paul was our captain and he was very knowledgeable as well as being entertaining. We were able to get history and the "lay of the land". It was a beautiful time to see the city..

Evening cruise with Tim

We went on the evening cruise, everyone was very friendly and we left nearly on time. The boat was lovely and very comfortable. Tim was chatty and gave us some great facts and insights about the city. It was lovely to see things from the canals - particularly as we went to areas we hadn't covered on foot.
