Romantic canal cruise

We had a fantastic 2 hour experience exploring the center of Amsterdam from the water. The boat Delphine is very charming and it has a roof that can partly be openend which is very convenient with nice weather. It has an electrical motor so very quiet and peaceful. Skipper Vanessa is very relaxed and flexible and the communication before was very adequate and helpful. A perfect experience!

Very personal adventure

Skipper Hans and historian Vanessa were wonderful. The 100 year old boat is beautiful, neat and tidy. We were given a personal tour of the canals in Amsterdam and Vanessa pointed out many beautiful homes and their history. Wonderful experience with great people.
