My name is Rene, I am living in Amsterdam for 30 years now. I live on the houseboat. which I have saved from sinking and is now providing me with a great place to live. About ten years ago I have bought the boat which you will be touring on (The Orion). I have replaced the diesel motor by an electric motor to turn the boat in a 100% sustainable canal tour boat. I have placed 18 solar panels on the roof of my houseboat which provides the Orion with its clean energy. I am an absolute lover of Amsterdam and enjoy telling others about the city. Its beauty and mystery, the future, the present and the history! Looking forward to welcoming you as guests!
