Fantastic canal tour that I 100% recommend to book when traveling to Amsterdam with your friends and family. Unlike other touristy canal cruises that you see around the city, what we really love the most about this tour was that you had a private boat away from the crowds, and you can really take in the cityscape at your own pace. We all thought that the hour of tour flew by so quickly when everything around you was so beautiful. I love that Paap cruised us around many beautiful canals and he was so knowledgeable to share as many local history and fun facts of the city.
This canal cruise is super comfy & perfect for small groups coming to Amsterdam around 4-6 people, and comes with free drinks! We did our tour around noon, but I imagine during summer time even late night sunset tours would also be super amazing to...

I highly recommend this tour and would recommend this for anyone looking for a laid back, relaxing tour of the...
Read moreI capped off my one-week trip to Amsterdam by taking Paap's tour on a dreary and rainy day but under his covered boat we stayed completely warm and dry. There were only six of us on the tour which felt so intimate compared to the large tour boats that have dozens of tourists. We sipped complementary Prosecco as we toured around Amsterdam-Centrum and Jordaan. Even if you've already done a tour of the city, don't skip out on your chance to see Amsterdam along the canals with Paap -- and don't let bad weather deter you. This tour will give you a completely different look at the city and you'll learn a lot about the history of the city's canals and waterways. It was a fantastic way to...
