    We had a tour of windmills, cheese factory, and clogs.
    Costa and Hank were wonderful. I recommend them as wonderful tour guides and bus driver. The village with the windmills was interesting. Although we got there before the villagers were ready for us.

    Fun relaxing way to explore.
    My husband and I had a great time exploring Zaanse Schans and Giethoorn! The bus ride was comfortable and our tour guide Fernando was nice and knowledgeable. It was a good mix of exploring together as a group and going off on your own. I recommend getting an IAmsterdam City card because we were able to get in free to go inside the windmills at Zaanse Schans.

    Awesome experience!
    Martyn was a great Captain and Emma was the perfect hostess! We took the cruise night before Kings Day and had a spectacular time the drinks were fabulous and Martyn and Emma were excellent!
    We've been to Amsterdam two other times and this was the first Canal cruise we took and it was wonderful!

    Casual canal cruise
    Great casual trip with drinks and laughs. Not a serious narration of history and culture - but highlights are provided by the friendly staff. Good deal for drinks to start your night off right!

    Great tour!
    This tour exceeded our expectations. We were picked up on time by Kai in a small van (8 people) from a location near the hotel. Kai, the tour guide, was friendly, funny, and knowledgably about the area. We drove outside of the city to see the windmills, and cheese and shoe making factories. Kai also drove a small boat through the Giethoorn canals. My family (including 2 teens) had lots of fun! Great tour overall.

    Great tour
    We loved our tour. In particular Reuben was excellent- so knowledgeable and made the bike tour the best part! Drinks on the canal boat was also fun. The best part of our holiday and great value.

    Join Captain Dave for a more memorable canal cruise.
    Had a wonderful early morning cruise with Captain Dave and our fellow passengers on the historic Jonckvrouw. The boat is beautiful and Dave is fun and informative and keen to make it a personalised tour. There are only a maximum of 12 passengers and it is a special time to cruise. The drinks are plentiful and tasty sugar bread is available. Captain Dave even allowed our son to pilot the boat making him beam with pleasure and a great moment to treasure.
    A small boat cruise may cost a little more but it makes for a lot of happy memories!
    If you want a relaxing quality experience on the water, we recommend you join Captain Dave for an Amsterdam canal cruise that is a bit more special and memorable!

    Van Gogh museum
    The museum was incredible. Would visit again. The canal cruise was a waste of an hour. The audio did not align with the structures. Was barely informative. If I had known the cruise would be that bad, we would have skipped it. All 4 starts go to the museum.
