Really enjoyed the boat trip and our guide radi was really informative, laid back and had a few interesting points and funny comments, she made us feel relaxed and we really enjoyed the ride, the only down fall was we couldn’t really see where we were going given the sides were down and it had been raining.

We had a great canal cruise, however we were expecting a cozy evening as advertised but it was a hen party and lots of people "getting on it" so although we had fun and a laugh it wasn't what we expected!

We liked it very much. The drinks were good. Unfortunately, you didn't get as much information about the city as on other canal trips. The group was very pleasant and funny. The guides were our age and very open. We would do it again. :)

It was quite okay. There were cans of Heineken and wine to choose from. I was hoping to learn something about the city, but the trip was conducted in silence. Unfortunately, it rained all over our benches, so at some point we were soaking wet in the boat. Quite nice for the price in good weather.
