very good, cruise with drinks and sweets option, 1h20 journey on the canals with audio guide in French and comments in English from the captain, to be done to admire the typical facades of the houses and discover some very beautiful buildings.

The location of the sights needs to be described better (e.g. left, right, front). It was too warm on the boat and there was a lack of fresh air. Drinks offer would have been nice

Fantastic experience! I would only exchange the snack kit for the cheese and wine kit which costs 10 euros more. Everything perfect!

We really loved the trip! By changing from sunset to night, we were shown a completely different picture of Amsterdam. Unfortunately, the audio guide was like any other, only including a few sights. The impressions of the city were still beautiful and memorable. You have the option to stay seated in the closed area or go to the back into the open area. The driver and other staff were very nice. Although we had already taken another canal cruise, we really enjoyed this cruise.

great, but after a day of visiting, 8:30 p.m. is still early, you might say, but it's hard to stay awake 😂😂 we were exhausted but still made the most of this moment. The night is absolutely different from the day it's great

A beautiful evening, nice service, but an audio guide without any timing. The stories were without direction and without regard to whether what was being told was in the right place.

The duration as perfect. Got to see and learn so much more than I would have on foot. Perfect time to do it right before sunset so you get the city at daylight and the night lights. Enclosed so not cold like other boats looked but had an outside area you could go to for photos or to sit I'd you preferred.
