On my second visit to Amsterdam I have made the tour of the canals aboard a boat of the company LOVERS, really very well, with audio guide in Spanish, with basic and curious information about the city, its beginnings and architecture. Very nice ride. Impressive the dimension of the tour boats with the small private boats of the locals who go out for a walk around. The drivers have an incredible skill! Very nice to see the houseboats throughout the tour, you pass really close to some of them. Thanks for such a nice ride

Nice to do on the first day to get the lay of the land :) After that it's very basic and nothing special about the boat itself. It's just a tourist trap ^^

The booking system was quick and easy to use. The boat had heaters that were absolutely a must in the windy and rainy weather.
