Very nice experience. - Super nice cruise with a very nice vr story about Amsterdam in the 17th century. The boat is an old tugboat so that is also a nice piece of history.

Very nice tour, a fantastic experience to see the city once in 17th century. - We found the tour very successful, the host and skipper are very friendly, we got one consumption. The explanation was fine, in short, a very nice experience, maybe the VR part could have been a bit more.

Best and unique canal tour experience - Absolutely amazing canal tour experience with VR. We felt like we time travel to 1600s of Amsterdam. The visuals, story telling and information is incredible through the VR. The captain and the guide were super friendly. We went on 31st of December, so it was incredibly cold outside and the boat was cozy and warm inside. Whether you are new to Amsterdam or Netherlands or if you have lived here your entire life, I am sure, there will something new to learn. Highly recommend!! ✨

Surprising! - Did a VR boat trip last Tuesday afternoon. Surprising. Very formative and what an enthusiastic Captain Joost and his friendly buddy Mariëlle did really great! We admire young entrepreneurs and wish them lots of beautiful, fun boat trips! Good luck! We wish you a lot of visitors and who we will visit! And visitors it's really worth it, educational but also relaxing and fun!
