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.

A great way to explore the canal. The sun is very strong in summer, so be careful when taking a boat trip at 6pm in August.

I was pretty happy because I got to see a different part of the city then I had seen. I enjoyed it.

Very good tour, incredible landscape, comfortable transportation. The only problem is the website to follow the route with the guide: the audio kept stopping. Furthermore, I bought a headset on site, but the headset didn't work. So I really recommend taking the headset you already use on your cell phone, maybe it will work.
