Kat and Mark facilitated magically and wonderfully what will now be a forever cherished moment between me and my friends. Their high spirits, humour, and incredible knowledge of Amsterdam kept us in the most amazing mood throughout the whole journey. The boat itself, wine and cheese were also to die for.
My friends got engaged on the boat, and Kat and Mark were genuinely excited and went out of their way to make this special moment even more special. Thank you so much!

Fun canal cruise we did during the day, booked the cheese and drinks package and enjoyed unlimited drinks and delicious cheese. Sky and Mick were awesome and fun hosts for the hour long tour. Great way to start your trip in Amsterdam and get your bearings for all the streets and areas. We booked online about two hours beforehand, which seems to be cheaper than booking on the spot!

We loved cruising through Amsterdam, taking in the sights, and learning all kinds of fascinating facts about the city. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a fun and informative way to see Amsterdam!
