Exceeded expectations - Excellent cruise with a charming captain. The cruise pick up and drop off was very much outside of the busy busy centre and I enjoyed that much more as it wasn't crowded as other cruises seemed to be. It was also very much cheaper than other cruises that didn't seem to be as nice on their boats. We also had the captain speak through the speakers and explain the city, which other boats without a roof cannot as they are not allowed speakers in the open air as it is a rule in the city. Very relaxing, great vibe, enjoyed it much more than we expected to. Also drink were available for purchase and there is a toilet on board . A+

Good way to see Amsterdam - Good quality boat with English speaking guide. The weather wasn’t very pleasant but luckily the boat had a covered roof. Saw the sites of Amsterdam from a different prospective.

I recommend this canal cruise to discover Amsterdam. - The cruise was nice, family friendly, on time, and passed by many of the city monuments. The audio guide was informative and in several languages. The captain was welcoming. I preferred if the cruise was in an open boat but you do not know when it starts to rain in Amsterdam!

75 min canal tour - Visit in the rain, but heated boat, so no problems on that front. Guide, friendly, speaking in English and free audio guide in French possible with a QR Code.
Very good visit.

Disappointing value for money - Disappointed because the audio guides only give us very little information about the driver, and really very little discovery of buildings. I really don't recommend for the price
