Though it is a great tour and great experience, I would not recommend this to the elderly, or anyone that gets claustrophobic! I'll admit, I even got scared at times. Our captain was lovely and she gave the tour in at least Dutch and English, there may have been German as well. But the sights are worth the trip, and we were very happy with the price as well.

From the owner: Zoals de naam al doet vermoeden verzorgen wij rondvaarten door de grachten van Alkmaar. Dit is een…read moreleuke en spannende manier om de stad beter te leren kennen. Samen met een kapitein en een gids vaart u 45 minuten door Alkmaar. In deze tijd proberen wij u een beeld te geven over hoe Alkmaar is, en hoe Alkmaar was. Deze rondvaart is ook erg geschikt voor kinderen. Ze hoeven namelijk niet stil te zitten. Tijdens de tocht komen wij 22 bruggen tegen waar ook zij voor moeten bukken. Hierdoor is de tocht een ervaring om nooit meer te vergeten! Vertrek vanaf de Mient, schuin tegenover het Waaggebouw.

If you come to Amsterdam and your schedule allows it, book a canal cruise.

I love the reviews on here (not many) where people are surprised by the vibe here. We loved it. Captain Lee and her first mate Pixie provided for a very memorable experience during our October 2025 cruise. She gave us some valuable tidbits of Dutch, local, and cinematic (Amsterdamned for the movie trivia score) history. She also gave us relevant information about local current events and social movements. Captain Lee was funny, yet also notably well-informed. All in all, this was one of the highlights of our trip.

So there we were, in Amsterdam chatting with other folks from the hotel. They spoke about food tour…read moreand we've done them before as well so we decide to delve in. After a bunch of research we decide on hungry birds, and it was a good decision. Our guide for the tour was Anne, as you proved to be a little ball of positive energy that was totally appreciated. She handled controversial issues well, and introduced us to many of the tastes of the market. We tasted everything from fresh Herring to smoke deal to sought after, cookies and we seem to have a back door, no line access to everything. If you'd like to stop reading now is a good point but know that we are big fans of Angry Birds We met at the designated location, introduced ourselves to the other people on the tour and then Anne showed up. She arrived bearing cookies, and my wife and I had actively sought out these cookies just the day before as we had seen them on Instagram. We waited for 15 minutes in line to buy our Van Stapele cookies and here she was showing up with a fresh batch to share with us to get the party started. It was a great start. We then moved onto multiple quality tastes. My wife, ever the brave soul, volunteered to taste the whole fresh Herring that was offered to her, served in the traditional fashion of the seasonal run of the fresh Herring. So it arrived on a plate with onions and pickles, and Leah was taught how to hold the Herring by picking it up from its tail, adding the onions and the pickles and then taking a bite. Mind you the fish had been deboned and cleaned, but it looked every bit of a fish without the head. I volunteered to try a couple of bites as well and enjoyed it. This was at the Volendammer Vishandel, and there was no doubt about the fish being fresh as the place was very busy I don't want to go on and on and ruin your trip to the food tour and so I'll stop here but the combination of the energetic tour guide and the unique stories told made it a very quick four hour tour that I would encourage my friends to take.

We loved this tour. It was so informative and so much fun. Anne was so wonderful and so much fun…read more You wont be disappointed.
