We took a private canal tour in Amsterdam, with an We took a private canal tour in Amsterdam, with an amazing company called “Those Dam Boat Guys” (@thosedamboatguys). 

Why did we love them? 

1. Our tour guide Leeroy was awesome, funny, knowledge and chilled out. 
2. We got to bring onboard our own food and drinks. 
3. We got to decide the pace of the tour and where we went! 
4. The boat was actually comfortable (I was initially a little worried because of my back!)

We got to see so much of the city, and we loved every second.

Bryant Park is one of my happy places. I think it' Bryant Park is one of my happy places. I think it's a really underrated park in the city. Half the year, it's covered by the Christmas market, and then for a few months after that, they have to replant the grass... So you only really get the majestic lawn to enjoy for a few short months. But when the lawn is closed... There is always the restaurant! 🥰⁠
