What the guide was telling in English was completely different from the audioguide, besides, the latter was very poor in content, it was much better what the guide was saying in English. It was confusing to be with the audio guide and the guide at the same time.

If you're sitting on the wrong side of the boat, it's difficult to see the special features and you can't take any photos.

Nous n'avons pas pu vraiment apprécier cette croisière sur le canal dans la mesure où il pleuvait et qu'à l'intérieur du bâteau on ne voyait rien. Une raclette était bien fournie pour enlever la buée mais celle-ci revenait tout de suite et par ailleurs les vitres étaient couvertes de gouttes de pluie. Impossible donc de donner une évaluation sur cette croisière, dommage !

The canal cruise itself was great, the Captain was engaging, knowledgeable, and entertaining. The only downside were the directions to the pickup point and the corresponding photo and diagram. Not even close! If I didn't go searching around we would've missed the cruise.
