The tour itself was fine, nothing too special or memorable and it was just a guided tour where u look out of the window and listen to a headset. There was an extremely rude middle aged lady (dark hair... See more

The boat is comfortable, the tour was ok, but after 20 mins the windows started to get foggy and the experience changes a lot. Visibility soon decreased and it made it boring. Also, the audio guide... See more

Interesting and beautiful ride but maybe update the audio texts. We did the ride 4 years ago and it seemed not even the 'how many years ago' texts were not even updated. Staff is very friendly.

Average experience

Likes:
Booking was easy.
Location superb.
Staff friendly.

Dislikes: number of people per boat can be reduced for better seating.
The captain of the boat was amazing but we couldn't hear most of the things she said at the open end of the boat as there were no speakers.

Dinner canal cruise is a must - even if you did a daytime canal tour!

This was a great canal cruise! I enjoyed seeing the scenery at night. The captain's commentary was great. I loved how he talked to us, but didn't talk the entire time. Very nice! I loved that it was 2 hours - as we got to see so much. The food was also very good, as was the wine and wait staff. I highly recommend this - especially to those who have done a daytime canal cruise. We have done 2 of those previously - a shared tour and a private canal tour. Evening brought something totally different.

Nice round in Amsterdam

It was foggy inside the boat which made it hard to see outside.
The audio was ok to spark attention about places you might want to visit
