Good way to see a few bits of Amsterdam - The audio is a bit shonky and the volume controls didn’t work, but it was pretty enjoyable… OK, there was a minor boat collision at the start (pulling out without properly looking), but we put that down to it being Monday morning. They didn’t make it right back to the finish (the driver was going on his break and a different jetty was more convenient for him), which might well have been a problem for others, but as we were the only 2 on the boat and it was outside Cafe Americain we didn’t mind, as were going there anyway. So, overall… perhaps more of a 3.5, but giving them the benefit of the doubt.

to do - absolutely to do to enjoy the navigation on the canal, it is relaxing and allows you to see the city from another perspective, to do because typical activity also to rest an hour and get an idea of the city, also interesting explanations that are provided about the houses and their appearance.

Discovering a city seen from the water - Pleasant experience, with audio guide in all languages ... shame that the captain spoke Dutch and English not too understandable...

Not the best - Good tour. Wasn't 1 hour long it was around 40 mins. The captain is speeding for no reason. The boat was very crowded. The audio guide didn't work most of the time.

Poor audio and rain leaking into boat - Audio track was difficult to follow as it was often mistimed. It would be referring to a building that we had long passed. Biggest issue was as it was raining the windows were leaking water onto the table and down the side of the boat onto our clothes and belongings even though the window was fully closed. Image attached of this. The captain was friendly and did a good job however. The issues were reported to the captain and the tours and tickets booking office.

Skip this one - The positives-nice viewing along a calm canal but…very cold and the driver was on FaceTime speaking with a lady for the duration of the trip. Zero interaction other than to tell us to use headsets. 8:30 trip left after 8:45 and very difficult finding transportation once completed. Would not recommend.
