Best way to cruise the... - Best way to cruise the canals. Plenty of space in the boat to stretch out and enjoy, while sipping a sparkling wine or beer.

Charming canal tour - This canal trip was great! Paap was a charming guide. The boat is very comfortable. We recommend taking the trip in the evening, when the city is lit up beautifully.

Amazing Canal Tour - Pap was amazing and very knowledgeable! The boat was cozy and had blankets / pillows, drinks and chocolates. We went for my mom’s birthday and she said it was the highlight of her day. I could not recommend this tour enough.

Enjoyed by all! - We were so pleased with our decision to book this tour! I corresponded with Carla before booking and she helped us pick the perfect time for a sunset cruise. The weather was perfect but chilly, not to worry though, the boat had toasty warmed cushions and Captain Paap provided blankets along with the prosecco and hot tea. Captain Paap was also very nowledgeable and engaging, like cruising with an old friend. Imagine my surprise when he said he'd been to Florida and when I asked where in Florida he'd visited, it was the town I live in (not a major city) what are the odds? We had an amazing time and felt like it was a real bargain for what we received. We wouldn't hesitate to book again the next time we're in Amsterdam.

Great cruise. Highly recommend. - My wife, my brother and his wife all enjoyed this canal cruise. Our boat captain, Paap was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and very friendly. It was a lovely day, and a nice electric boat toured us through the beautiful canals of Amsterdam.

Fantastic private AMS canal boat tours - After three different canal tours in three different years, we can tell you Captain Paping is a wonderful soul. We really appreciate his intelligence, knowledge, and charm.His private AMS boat rides in his relatively small boat, which are very affordable, are far superior to the larger boat rides. You get to influence where you go and what you will see. The Captain of course uses his vast knowledge to meet your needs. Simply outstanding.
