It was a simple enough tour The boat captain was competent The narration in English highlighted some interesting sights and history But it was difficult to identify some areas of interest since the narration didn’t coincide with where the building was Sometimes the captain did try to ensure that we looked in the right direction and did not miss it All in all a smooth relaxing boat ride in the canals around the city Would need to go visit the areas of interest after
