30 years of friendship should be celebrated on the water

Went on a light cruise with a very good friend with Amsterdam Circle Line and was very pleased with the service friendliness and especially the tour with the accompanying text from the skipper which was quite fun. I could recommend this tour to many.

A most enjoyable excursion on Amsterdam's canals

Captain Marc and his crew were everything one could ask for in a canal tour experience. The captain was informative and entertaining and guided us flawlessly through the maze of Amsterdam’s canal system while sharing the fascinating history and trivia of the city’s waterways. Highly recommend.
