Mark was an amazing skipper for this open boat canal cruise. It was a cold and grey day so we had the boat to ourselves and we were immediately offered blankets to keep us warm. Mark was friendly and knowledgeable, giving us a beautiful tour of Amsterdam and its history as we boated along. Thank you Mark and KinBoat crew for a lovely time xx

Mo took us on a canal cruise around Amsterdam and knew all the history and was a great guide. Was a fantastic experience and highly recommend it

A nice one hour cruise, the skipper who doubled as the guide was friendly and knowledgeable. A nice surprise was the Gluhwein they provided for free.

We had the best experience on this canal cruise! Our guide Detrik had a great personality and told us about a lot of interesting history. We were guided through multiple wonderful canals, including some of the smaller, quieter ones in Jordaan. We also loved the smaller, open boat we were on even though it was cold! We were provided blankets, which definitely helped. So glad we chose this cruise and would 100% do it again if we come back to Amsterdam in the future!
