A warm outing as with friends - Great tour with Lara and Jack who are very friendly and tell us funny stories and give us explanations we would not have found in the paper guide. The hot drink was welcome as it was quite cold, but that did not prevent you from enjoying the outing well. Jack didn't hesitate to stop the boat so I could take the pictures.

Quick yet wonderful - For folks who are short on time and not really interested in drinking and snacking on the boat yet want to learn the history and fun facts about Amsterdam while enjoying the view

Not open boat and this was my preference - Was not an open boat and the windows we fogged up a lot of the time (we used our gloves/scarves to try to clear). Guide was having to take really loud because there was a group of 6 drunk dudes laughing and being loud the whole time. Enjoyed the sights and somewhat relaxing ride. Drinks were plentiful.
