Enjoyable and informative tour!

A great tour, nice that it was a fairly small group. We learned a lot about Amsterdam and the canals. Our guide, Frank, was fantastic. Would highly recommend this tour!

A great option for seeing Amsterdam

The small open boat was perfect. We could hear the tour guide, we could see clearly (I've been on other tours in other cities where the grimy windows were difficult to see through) and the whole experience was fun and funny (he had good one liners).
