Good tour but expensive drinks on the boat. - It was a good experience. The audio explaination was good and the boat man explaned things well. The boat was new and has very comfortable sofas. I only think that the price is slightly high (but everything in Amsterdam is expensive). It should be like 8 euro per person I think. And drinks on board are very expensive, from 3,50-5,50 euro per can. But it was a nice tour. Thank you.

Beautiful activity - Good value for money compared to others. It is located on the other side of Amsterdam, free ferry but plan for 15 minutes from the central station.

Too bad because it was very nice - Very nice skipper! Had only booked a Dutch cruise but was in English so my elderly parents got almost nothing of the info.

This tour fell well short... - This tour fell well short of what was advertised. We departed late and were back at the dock in under an hour, significantly less than the 75 minutes promised. With only two other passengers on board, the experience felt hollow rather than intimate. The bigger disappointment was the format itself: there is no live guide. Commentary is delivered entirely through a pre-recorded audio track while the skipper offers the occasional half-hearted gesture toward the landmarks. For the price, I expected genuine engagement and local insight. I left feeling like both my time and money had been wasted. If you're considering this tour, I'd strongly recommend looking elsewhere for a more authentic and worthwhile experience.
