Hola! Encantado de conocerte

Vanessa

Combining boating with living on the most beautiful canal in Amsterdam was a dream coming true. Amsterdam is stunning from the water side. Floating across the city is mellow and inspiring: the perspective is different and the stories endless. I gave up corporate life to do what I like most: cruising the water on charming old boats.

Fredrick was our skipper and he did s great job of showing us the city at night. It was one of the highlights of our trip! Very comfortable boat complete with blankets!

Wir haben diese Reise zu zweit angetreten, meine Mutter und ich. Es war ein Geschenk ihrer Kinder und Enkel zum 89. Geburtstag. Zwei weitere Personen hätten gut Platz gehabt, dann wird es kuschelig. Wegen eines Notfalls in der Familie hat Frederik, der Mann von Vanessa und Partner im kleinen Ausflugsunternehmen, uns gefahren. Das war im Vorfeld gut kommuniziert. Wir hatten am Morgen der Reise Kontakt über Whatsapp, so dass wir den Steg problemlos finden und rechtzeitig an Bord kommen konnten. Das kleine Schiff fanden wir wunderschön und liebevoll gemütlich und persönlich eingerichtet, es wurden uns freundlich Getränke angeboten. Da es unsere erste Reise nach Amsterdam war, hatten wir keine besonderen Ansprüche an die Route. Nach Gesprächen mit anderen Touristen im Nachhinein denke ich, es war eine Standardstrecke. Die Führung war in gutem Deutsch, unterhaltsam, persönlich und informativ. Fakten waren klug ausgewählt, um elementares Vorwissen zu ergänzen oder einzuordnen, persönliche Anekdoten ergänzten sie zu einem Eindruck, wie Menschen in Amsterdam leben und welche Probleme sie beschäftigen. Das ganze vermittelte Frederik auf professionelle und humorvolle weise, während er ja das Boot steuern musste, was uns zwischendrin auch die Zeit gab, die wir benötigten, um die Fahrt auf dem Wasser zu genießen, die Atmosphäre auf uns wirken zu lassen, die Häuser zu betrachten und zu fotografieren. Vielen herzlichen Dank für dieses freundliche und autentische Willkommen.Stilvoll, professionell, persönlich

The boat is absolutely lovely. There was a bar setup but we were told anything from it would be extra so we did not partake- it would have been maybe a glass of wine and a soda. We had a tour with Vanessa's husband and to be honest, was had to engage him to get any information. We weren't even told where we were or given much history at all. It seems a trend with the tours by her husband. It was okay, not worth the price

Despite rain and chilly night air we had a wonderful time w Vanessa and Paul. It was more leisurely that the larger boats. We had a more interactive discussion with them about the neighborhoods we glided thru and when they took us to the closest wharf for us to catch a taxi back to our hotel they made sure we were in the taxi before returning to their boat. Top notch service!Wonderful canal experience

I specifically booked the Amsterdam Light Festival (ALF) with Vanessa because she advertises tours in several languages including French; I thought this would be perfect for my parents' first visit to Amsterdam as they only speak French. I wrote to Vanessa and explained the situation with my parents, so I expected her to drive the boat and give us the tour in French. However, she was never to be seen and we were instead greeted by Captain Edward near the H’ART Museum. He was on time, very friendly, and gave us a bottle of red and white wine for us to enjoy during the tour. He spoke some French but certainly not enough to talk about the ALF sculptures. Overall the ”Delphine” boat is super cute and well equipped with blankets and we were plenty warm on this cold winter night so 5 star on that. However, 1 star for Vanessa for not providing a tour in French as sold to us.Cute boat but no French-speaking captain

Vanessa is a wonderful tour guide. Her knowledge/info provided was informative, and she's a master at navigating the canals. The wine was a nice touch. She went above and beyond by letting us off at a stop closest to the train so that we could return to the cruise ship on time.Amsterdam Canals Tour

We enjoyed our cruise. Unfortunately Vanessa was not available but her husband did a good job. We wished there would be a bit more history & local stories rather than just pointing out the sites. We had to ask questions v them engaging with us. Boat is cute - big enough for 4. If you’re looking for a nice cruise without other tourist or for a special event this is it Value for money is low.Nice boat
