The trip only lasted a little over 70 minutes. The audio guide didn't have that much information, but there was live information from the captain, which was very nice.

The snack box was not appreciated, there were too many/too many specific snacks for everyone to like, perhaps a chocolate bar and classic crisps would have been more appreciated. But the ride was very nice!! It really deserves a lot

Very informative tour and friendly captain and staff. We got there on the nick of time but the lady staff was very friendly and assured us we can relax a bit and take the next one coming in the next 15 minutes. 5 stars! 😊

The tour was a nice change and wonderful as an overview from the water. However, we only sailed on the outer canals because the boat was very large. The inner smaller canals were not seen. We then made up for it on foot. There were only chairs and no comfortable benches. The boat was also quite old.

The activity was very good and positive. The team was very friendly and the tour went perfectly. A super fair price considering the activity. Amsterdam has a unique vibe and with this tour we can discover other corners of this beautiful city from another perspective. The audio guide explains well some details of the city.

Very fun canal boat and not overcrowded, had a whole table to myself. Very nice interior and great that it was fully enclosed with the weather. They provide headphones and an audio guide in multiple languages. Would absolutely do again.
