So easy to navigate the boat and the guy at the boat was very helpful.

A lovely boat trip on canals inaccessible to larger vessels. Mike and Louisa were incredibly welcoming guides. With the sun shining, it was wonderful to be on an open-top boat. Thank you! Free excursion with the iAmsterdam Card.
