This is a wonderful experience! I was surprised by how close the boat is to the ferry and that the ferry literally runs every 5 minutes and only takes 3 minutes to get to central station.....then you are right in the centre of the city...yet this location is quiet, secluded and very peaceful...the best of both worlds. Reinhart is an excellent host...very laid back and friendly and very willing to provide suggestions for touring, restaurants, etc.
Overall, I would highly recommend this unique experience... a great way to get a true taste of Amsterdam.
