    La guida è stata super accogliente e gentile. La gita in canoa meravigliosa! Super consigliato. Un’oasi di tranquillità a soli 15 minuti dal centro di Amsterdam.

    Our favorite part of our Amsterdam trip!! Majel is an absolutely wonderful guide. Her friendly and easy going nature, along with her knowledge and passion for the outdoors made this such a fun outing. Majel's explanation of the history and ecology of the areas we paddled through helps you understand the required water management balance that makes life in the Netherlands possible. The small village of Watergang is incredibly cute with much of the tour in the small canals behind the neighborhood houses. The paddling is easy and Majel is very patient with inexperienced canoers. We saw all types of cows, birds, flowers and plant life. The picnic lunch was plentiful and yumm - cheeses, breads, crackers, fruits, veggies and more. Highly recommend as a wonderful way to get out of the city for casual exploring and learning about the unique ecosystem of the Netherlands!

    Fantastic way to see the real Netherlands in a slow paced way with a terrific guide. Great sights and relaxing landscape with birds cows and a picnic!

    This is a wonderful tour -- definitely a highlight of our trip. Compared to many tours, this felt very authentic and intimate. The group is limited to 8-10 participants. Having a tour guide from the town we were touring with so much knowledge about the area and ecosystem was really special. We enjoyed the variety of local foods she brought for the picnic. The paddling was easy -- no experience necessary and the tour was just the right time length for us.

    Excellent experience, enjoyed learning about Amsterdam and it’s environs from the unique perspective of the canals.

    Mijell was absolutely wonderful -- so friendly, informative and helpful. My wife and I are definitely canoe novices, but she was very patient and made sure we finally got the hang of things! The tour through the wetlands was very informative. We saw all types of birds, flowers and plant life, and she explained all about what we were seeing and the ecology of the area. The picnic lunch was bountiful and delicious -- cheeses, breads, crackers, fruits, veggies and more. I was worried we would sink the canoe after eating all that food! The village of Watergang is impossibly cute. Even though we had paddles through it, we took time to explore the beautiful village on foot. A great experience!

    A great way to experience the Dutch wetlands. The sunny day certainly helped. Majel's love of the outdoors was evident in her detailed explanation of the areas we paddled through. Her welcoming and friendly nature, along with her hospitality was a welcomed touch.

    This tour is a must. It’s so refreshing to get out of the city and see some of the beautiful country side. Amsterdam has a great public transport system that makes this easily accessible. There is also a great takeaway from the tour about the state of our environment and the importance of the waterways to the country.
