Our customer experience
Marije and Erik were the friendliest guides we’ve come across. Marije was very knowledgeable about the area and its surroundings, she made sure she included all her guests and answered a barrage of questions honestly and friendly. Erik guided our boat through the canals like a true master. Most definitely one of the best tours we’ve been on. Fully recommend these guys and the Open Bar choice seemed very good value.
