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 cruise takes you through the city’s historical buildings along the canals. They provide commentary in 19+ languages, with occasional ones by the driver.

Gorgeous day to take this awesome boat tour down the canals in Amsterdam. We elected to sit outside in the back and enjoy the fresh air and the sites. As such we missed the audio guide but so enjoyed the trip nevertheless. The captain came on the microphone often enough to give us some information about the current surroundings. All in all, an awesome way to spend a great afternoon seeing the gorgeous sites in Amsterdam.

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 audio guide was just amazing, i was completely surprised by it. Usually I find it a bit boring. We went at the sunset and even with the rain it felt so cozy and really beautiful! Truly recommend!

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 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.
