This was the best decision I made in visiting Amsterdam. A few locals told me not to skip a canal tour and this was the best possible way to see them. Ed was great, it was nice to go at our own speed and have a chance to stop and look at what interested us. Would recommend this to anyone visiting!

It was magical, and peaceful to get to see Amsterdam from the water. Not from a tourist boat but from an active experience. Good exercise, good conversation- two thumbs up

This was a great way to see the city. Ed told about the important structures and gave some info on the history of the area. He was great at answering all of our questions. He knew how to keep us safe on the water. He also took pictures to send later so we wouldn't have to risk our phones on the water.

This is a must do experience! We loved our kayaking tour. Ed was so kind and we felt very comfortable with him! The tour was a mix of enjoying the peacefulness of floating down the canals by the beautiful buildings and bridges, but then also watching out and staying to the side to avoid the large canal cruise boats. It was a good mix and we felt very safe.

We would highly recommend this activity to anyone considering it! This is by the best way to see the canal system in Amsterdam in our opinion. It is a small group with the host and nothing blocking the view around you in your kayak. Edward had great knowledge of the area and good stories to tell. We were very happy to have been on this tour after seeing the crowded large tour boats that did not look comfortable or enjoyable. Thanks Ed!

Very cool experience that I would recommend to anyone. It's a great way to see Amsterdam. We went all over the city and it was nice and relaxing the whole time. Edward is very friendly and nice to chat with.

Ed is such a fantastic host! From the moment I met him, I knew it would be a safe and comfortable experience. It was a beautiful and relaxing kayaking tour through the city. The route we took was similar to most boat tour routes, but was extra special because of the kayaks :)
I recommend this to everyone who enjoys kayaking! Ed was absolutely fantastic :)

Ed's tour of Amsterdam through the canals in kayaks was a perfect way to see the city. We met Ed at his house boat where he covered the basics of kayaking and rules of the canal. He then helped us into the kayak, and we were off! He took pictures and sent them to us so we didn’t have to worry about taking our phones into the water. His English is perfect and he’s knowledgeable about the city. I would recommend this to everyone and would 100% do it again.
