'Excellent trip. Really knowledgeable guide with good quality kayaks and full safety equipment provided. Thoroughly enjoyed the route and would recommend this tour to any of my kayaking friends.'

'This was a wonderful way to experience Amsterdam. Ed was great--made us feel like just a gathering of friends, going kayaking to enjoy the day. The big bonus is that the route goes through very cool sights that you can only see from a small boat on the canals, like the view through the seven bridges. There are stable and comfortable kayaks, good orientation at the beginning. We did the three hour tour, which had a nice break for a drink at an outdoor cafe in the middle of it, with a view of historical tall ships. We learned at lot of unusual facts about dutch life, but through what was much more like an interesting conversation with a well-informed friend than a rehearsed spiel from a tour guide. This was an unusual and wonderful way to enjoy Amsterdam outdoors. Highly recommended.'

‘Great and unforgettable two hours of experience in Amsterdam. The view of houses and ships of Amsterdam is marvelous, and I guess much more intense than from a motor boat. Ed is a wonderful boat guide, very friendly and helpful; showed us beautiful water streets of the city with a lot of information! Absolutely recommended!’

‘Ed is such a cool guy. He welcomed us at his cozy woonboot and has told us many aspects and stories of kayaking. Containing his advanced-level experience, we managed to take a very, very, very amazing tour throughout the channels. I thought my stamina wouldn’t be enough to keep track of the group, however after I got used to my boat in 5-10 mins, I was really successful and fond of kayaking. Amstel, Keizersgracht, Prinsengracht... just an astonishing view and an amazing experience!! I’d absolutely do it again.’

‘It was a great experience, we would definitely recommend it. Ed is really kind and super friendly. If you want to see Amsterdam from a different point of view, you should do the tour with Ed.’

‘Best time on the water yet with Ed and his kajaks! As I live in Amsterdam for 20 years I experienced the canals in many ways. Yesterday was definitely a highlight. Beautiful tour through small and big canals. Great conversation and super nice pictures for our memories! I can recommend this to tourist and Amsterdamers!!!! ‘

‘A beautiful and unique way to experience Amsterdam. Ed shows you many neighborhoods and sites via kayak. He also shares the house boat culture. It is very safe and he is watching out for you along the way.’
