      Great customized tour!

      "Bo showed us the less traveled canals & shared insights & stories from her experiences growing up in Amsterdam. We saw magnificent houses, beautiful gardens, 1970’s houseboats, historical buildings & landmarks. The boat was comfortable and evening was fun and relaxing. Highly recommend! "

      Review about Anne

      "Anne was an excellent communicator, from the minute we booked all the way up until or rendezvous. We had discussed a a few ideas on how to maximize seeing the sights around the Noord area and she suggested a bike ride! We were all for it. Fast forward to the booking and I had neglected to rent a bike in a timely manner and although we secured one’s, it felt like a stressful start to my husband and I, but NOT to Anne! She was great! She rolled with the punches, adjusted the plan, checked in on our itinerary throughout, and still showed us a great deal of her well intentioned, very peaceful side of Amsterdam. She also showed us some of the coolest spots for a drink (stopped twice) and a delish dinner that we would have never thought of on our own. Rough start for us, smooth transition into a magical few hours with Anne. What a great way to end our trip in Amsterdam. Would definitely recommend. "

      An Exciting Ride

      "My brother and I visited Utrecht and had a great time seeing the countryside "up close and personal" from Marco's motorcycle with sidecar. We had a great time and it truly was a unique experience. Marco was punctual, had all the necessary safety equipment, he drove well and provided interesting color commentary. We highly recommend this experience. "

      Review about Beer & Jannah

      "The tour was a 10. Exactly what we were looking for. Our guide Bas was incredibly nice. He made sure we were comfortable in every way. Told us all about the city and the history. Bas told us about local things that were happening right now to check out. The boat was really clean and beautiful it was relaxed and private. I watched many of the large tourist boats go by and all the long lines of people waiting to go on tours. This experience was intimate. We truly felt like a local friend picked us up and showed us around their city. "
