When we arrived it was clear the trip was oversubscribed and to make it worse, the people behind us acted like children and pushed in front of us to get seats, leaving us not being able to join the boat ride that we booked. The staff were very apologetic and put us first in the queue for the next boat, offered a free drink and a cookie each. The trip we went on was brilliant, plenty of space and it was open top with tables so we could enjoy the beautiful evening sun. Thank you to the staff who were working the evening 17/07, your excellent customer service made it a joyous experience for us to end our trip to Amsterdam 😊

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
