Never felt rushed, learned some quirky history, and toured some very quaint parts of Amsterdam,Viewing the city from the water gives you a very different sense of what the city has to offer.

Captain Klaas filled in for Captain Dave today, but he lived up to and exceeded our expectation. Very knowledgeable and personable.

From the start we were greeted with a friendly face who was ready to show us Amsterdam's canals on a less crowded and more informational way. Captain Dave joked around with us, asked questions, and encouraged photos. He even made sure to buy extra sugar bread which he told us to open when we finished the first loaf. A great time all around! read less

We moved to Amsterdam a year ago so have done quite a few different canal tours as we’ve had family and friends come to visit and this was the best one by far! Captain Dave was friendly, knowledgeable, and born and raised in Amsterdam so was able to point out several different things that we had not heard about on any of the other tours. It was cold and rainy when we met so the boy was enclosed and heated and absolutely perfect! We chose to bring own food and drinks, but Captain Dave offered to provide them as well. The boat has a very cool history and has been restored beautifully. Even if you don’t have enough people to fill the boat, I HIGHLY recommend doing the tour anyway. It was so worth it and we will definitely be bringing all of our visitors here from now on.Thank you, Captain Dave!! read less

We thought the poor weather would affect our enjoyment but Captain Dave has a beautiful boat and it’s cozy and warm inside. We learned so much. Our only regret was we didn’t ask more questions.

Captain Dave's boat was cozy, classic and charming!

His boat was easy to find and upon arrival, he immediately launches into host mode. There was never a dull moment! Between his stories, answering our questions, and the drinks/snacks, this tour was definitely one that's different than you typical canal tour in the best way possible. We were very comfortable the whole time with both options of sitting indoors and outdoors. If you're looking for a boat tour that's out of the norm, family friendly, and full of stories this one is for you! read less

We hired him for a private boat tour with our family and we are so glad we did. The meeting point was in a central location, the boat was stunning and clean (you have the option to open all of the windows inside, make it heated or enjoy the weather while sitting uncovered in the back.) There is a bathroom on the boat too if that’s a concern for people. He has blankets, a speaker, etc. He is well equipped to make you feel comfortable. Capt Dave was also very informational and had large printouts to explain anything historical! You can bring your own food/alcohol BYOB or he can provide for a charge by the hour. In addition to all of this, he has a great personality!! I will recommend him to anyone coming to town. Don’t look elsewhere. read less
