Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- erin10 contributionsThis tour was one of the best I’ve ever been on! Majel was a great tour guide. The tour was a relaxing, beautiful paddle though the Netherlands. We had a lovely picnic and spent time in a lovely country home.Written 30 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DanNew York City, NY6 contributionsThis is a one-of-a-kind, once in your lifetime experience. I had just taken a kayak tour of the canals of Venice two weeks prior to this. This was so much more enjoyable. Stupendous 3-hour tour through every canal in the city. His knowledge of the city, its history and neighborhoods was amazing.
He was quite the mother-hen making sure we were all absolutely safe. He seemed to know every boatman we passed. Halfway into the tour he treated us to coffee at a waterfront cafe.
There is nothing like this tour in any other city and definitely this kayak tour is the only show in town in Amsterdam. Dont miss it.Written 6 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Great for first time paddlers as well as people who have been in boats before. Maartin is obviously a very skilled boatman, willing to pass on expert instruction as well as make the outing fun was for everyone. Of course, Safety was always a first priority.Written 27 June 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Carla B1 contributionSee all the sights of Amsterdam from a different view point at a relaxed pace. Whether an experienced paddler or beginner, Merel is an excellent instructor and guide - we would definitely recommend adding a kayak tour to your holiday itinerary.
We had a great time paddling through the waterways, we saw all the sights and Merel was a good guide giving us lots of information about the various bridges and buildings. We also saw lots of wildlife too, which even included a giraffe at the zoo!!Written 18 July 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- G EvansRichmond, VA34 contributionsMy husband and I love to kayak so wanted to kayak in Amsterdam in some of the canals. We found this great company and they were so helpful. We emailed several times about weather and availability and they always responded. We decided to go for it on our last full day in town and reserved a 2 person kayak. We had a blast! We were glad we did a 2 person as getting out on the Amstel was very busy. We usually go in individuals. Seeing the city from a kayak is different than any other boat tour and just a great way to explore. We recommend it highly! Enjoy!!Written 31 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
