    the boat and staff were friendly and welcoming. I would never do a canal tour again because people throw evething from the bridges, my daughter came out of the cruise completely soaked because someone threw something at her which I hope was water from the bridge. which is not the fault of the crew.

    It was interesting, but 2 things disappointed us: - not being able to squeegee the wet windows (even ourselves) to see better - in 2025, single-use helmets are no longer possible...

    Nice to be able to offer my German colleagues a tour and learn a little more about the city from the water.

    It's a realy good way to experience the city through the canals. Really loved the audio guide because it gives you more context and history about the city. Would recommend!

    The captain was great, telling lots of anecdotes in Dutch/English/German/French and Spanish. A great time It's a pity that the boat's windows didn't slide open to take photos.
