Did the wine and cheese tour around the canals and along the way got some amazing pics, fun facts and many a laugh! I will absolutely be doing this tour again in the future, and honestly I think it'll be a regular Occitan with everyone I bring to Amsterdam. Terugkomen is niet hetzelfde als blijven

I was supremely disgusted with my experience with this excursion group and their chosen tour guide…read more She was from Aruba and was difficult to understand. Not only was she difficult to understand, she screamed the entire time in an ear-piercing pitch similar to that of Yzma from Emperor's New Groove. It was so loud and grating it made it impossible to relax and enjoy the cruise. She also found it wise to sprinkle in expletives whenever possible and repeatedly told us stories about the "sh*tty" bike she rides so it doesn't get stolen. In addition, my tour was originally booked for 4 people but had to be switched to 3 when our co-traveler's mother died the morning before our flight. We were discussing the funeral on the tour when this Aruban grand stander stopped in the middle of her screaming spiel, looked at me in front of everyone and said, "Ma'am. Can you not?? I can't hear myself think!". I'm sorry, but this is absolutely unprofessional and abhorrent behavior. This girl was more concerned with her little 'performance' than any kind of customer service. It was a miserable time and I will NEVER recommend Flagship Amsterdam to anyone. In fact, I will warn anyone, given the opportunity.

Rode my bike over to ROEIcentrum - the "Rowing Center" to learn how to row a boat on the Amstel…read more Was with a group of lady friends and we all gathered together while Pablo showed us how to get in and out of the boat (I didn't know you could step right through the bottom of the boat if you step in the wrong place), and the correct way to hold the oar and row in synch. The "in synch" part is critical - otherwise, you're going around in circles and hooting in fear. After some instruction inside in the tank, we were out on the river four to a boat, with an instructor up front telling us why our skinny little boat wouldn't topple over and when to "go." I focused on rowing in synch with the person up front, and making sure I didn't drag my oar - which did all kinds of crazy things to the boat's stability and made us all shriek. And after awhile, I got into the rhythm of it and didn't think of anything but the sun at my back and rowing. I'm going back in early July to take lessons - which are tres reasonable (just EU 100 for 7 weeks). Additional bonus: the female instructor who headed up our boat had the most beautifully toned arms....surely, if I keep rowing this will happen to me!

We aimed for the 8:45PM slot for sunset views and it was a great way to end the day! Pick-up and drop-off are at the same dock. I'm not sure if private tours are the default but our group was large enough to fill up a boat. We also had unlimited beer, wine, and soda for the whole experience. Unfortunately, you won't be able to bring anything else on board so keep the hard liquor at home! Our tour guide (Elena) was fantastic and I really liked how she just matched our vibe. In the beginning, she asked what kind of tour we wanted like educational or to be left alone. We opted for educational and learned so many interesting facts about the city. We got history, culture, and current events and she knew most of the answers to our questions. At the end, she gave us some great recommendations for nightlife in the city. Elena also did the entire tour in English! Highly recommend if it's your first time in Amsterdam!
