It was so lovely and calming sitting back on a boat watching the wonderful city and listen to an audio guide tell you facts you probably would have never heard unless you went on the boat trip. Well worth the price

Amazing! Loved it. We booked at 8 which was perfect for sunset and the gorgeous hue of the lights on the canal!

Good value for money. The boats are filled quickly, with no breaks in between, no long waiting times. No one has to stay on the quay and be "devastated" (quote from another review). The audio guide was appropriate (GPS-oriented) and the instructions from our "captain" were useful.

The guide was really fun and enriching. We've passed through important regions, learned about the history and culture of the city and connected with people during the trip.

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
