“Fons was the best! He was so personable and truly understands the culture and history of Amsterdam. He shared o personal connections to the sites we passed. I really like that it was a small group. I went on my own to this canal tour and I felt welcomed by Fons and the other guests. There were beautiful sites to see and great laughs. I would 100% book again. I found this through an Instagram ad and liked that the experience was unique and affordable. Thank you so much and I'm glad I stumbled upon this experience. I would highly recommend to anyone. The booking was seamless through the website and I messaged the WhatsApp and called them to ensure I was in the right location and they helped me while staying on the phone until I found the boat. Thank you for a great time.”
