Great tour! Covered a lot of area in relatively short time, with lots of information from an excellent host/boat captain! I would definitely recommend this - such a unique perspective of the beautiful city!

This was a great way to see the city with my 79yr old Mum and 82yr old Aunt. The boat was comfortable and had glass roof cover and sides, which we needed as it was quite rainy. We learnt a lot about the history of Amsterdam and about the various styles of buildings. Recommend.

Very informative cruise with the option of audio commentary. It makes you realise just how big Amsterdam and there is so much to see. A good way to get your bearings - well worth the money.

The trip was well organized, duration was about 55 min, the boat was clean, the stuff was friendly. The audio guide was not talking all the time, giving time just to enjoy views. But I would wish me a bit more information during the tour.
