Canal tours

This boat tour of Leiden was the single most enjoyable thing I did in the Netherlands. Of course, it's a beautiful tour with quaint bridges, canals, and boats. What really made the tour though was that our guide, Rutger, was very knowledgable and able to answer all kinds of questions about the canal system, the history of place, the boats, etc. He made the trip!

Was a very nice experience ! Very sympathetic and kind captain ! Recommend it. Lot of funny anecdotes.

We organized a private two-hour canal tour for four with a picnic lunch for yesterday morning. First and foremost, our guide/pilot, Hidde, was fabulous. Friendly, charming, knowledgeable, and funny. For two solid hours, he kept up a conversation about the history of Leiden. We were captivated. The boat was comfortable and so very quiet thanks to the electric motor. The lunch was delicious. And, no kidding, the best coffee I’ve had in weeks. It wasn’t inexpensive, but you get what you pay for.
