Lilli

The canal tour itself was fine. We were a little annoyed that the audio guide and the captain explained things at the same time. You couldn't hear both at the same time. The audio guide didn't really fit the tour either. Sometimes things were explained that you didn't see at all because you had already passed by or they came much later than announced or we had to take a different route because of the heavy traffic. We can't recommend the tour in rain or drizzle. The windows had to stay closed and the drops made it pretty difficult to see out. Next time we would like to do a canal tour in good weather and in one of the older canal boats.

Was a nice boat ride. However the audio part of the door wasnt aligned with where we were on the canals so got confusing and had already gone past some of the places before it had told us about it

I really enjoyed the trip. We drove past typical sights like the Anna Frank House. It was really nice to see Amsterdam in this way.

Guide was very funny. It was great learning about all the history of Amsterdam. Definitely recommend doing this. This was the second time I’ve been to Amsterdam and the second time I’ve done a tour with this same company. Definitely recommend.

They were very punctual and with the highway in Spanish we sailed through the three main canals of Amsterdam, seeing everything very comfortably from the boat and sheltering from the rain. Highly recommended

It was a very nice evening and an hour was more than enough. However, it was very tight and crowded.

The cruise was good value for money. Probably not as great a view as a roofless boat but the weather was cold so this worked for us.
