Der Guide war sehr freundlich und hat Interessantes erzählt. Allerdings war es kein TUI Guide wie ausgeschrieben, generell haben sie kaum Buchungen über TUI und wir waren die einzigen Gäste, die keine Getränke inkl. hatten (Starboard Boat Buchungen schon). Start/Ende war pünktlich, komfortables Boot, entspannte Fahrt, es war schön mal andere Ecken von Amsterdam zu sehen.

Fantastik kanal tur

Det var en fantastisk sejltur. Vi havde to meget underholdende guider, som fortalte rigtigt meget om de historiske bygninger mm. De andre gæster havde kunnet købe tilvalg af drikkevarer. Så vi sad, som de eneste uden at kunne få noget at drikke. Det var så ikke så fedt. Så dette skal I måske overveje at implementere i jeres tur.

Although I had prebooked and prepaid, on arrival the crew did not have us on their list but made every effort to confirm our booking. In the end the lovely crew Max and Mart said they had room and we were welcome to travel with them. So top customer service. During the cruise the booking was confirmed. Max and Mart were very knowledgable, passionate about boating, Amsterdam and the canals and made the cruise informative, entertaining and great fun. Would highly recommend this trip and these guys

This is an excellent tour. Our host was absolutely amazing, very engaging. I recommend it 100% to anyone visiting Amsterdam.

Wonderful experience. The boat was more intimate compared to the larger, touristy ones, which made for a much more enjoyable and personal journey.

I had an amazing time on the canal cruise in Amsterdam and highly recommend it! Our guide and skipper were super friendly and made the trip a lot of fun with their engaging stories and cool facts about the city. The overall experience was fantastic, and I want to thank the team for making it so enjoyable. We had a blast and would definitely do it again!
