Good cruise. - Good canal cruise to see the sights around the canals of Amsterdam. Comfortable boat with tables between each seats and a rear outdoor area but only hold probably 4-6 people. Well worth it and a lot of sights to see. Recommended.

Relaxing - Directions to find the boat were She’s not the only one very confusing. In actuality, once you cross the bridge with the knitted covered tires, just look to your right and you will see the boat. Once you’re on, it was very nice.

Nice tour, unfortunately not in the booked language. Therefore somewhat saddened - The tour in itself was very nice and interesting. I was just annoyed that the explanations were in Dutch, although the booking stated English. It was said that since the majority of the guests are Dutch, the live commentary is done in Dutch. We had to download an app where the language could then be selected. However, we didn't have any headphones with us, so it was hard to understand parallel to the live commentary. Outside, the captain told much more than in the app. Schade.....

Poor English commentary by on board tec and skipper. - Scenery and view from covered boat on rainy day generally good. Tour route was wonderful to see Amsterdam from the canals. Unfortunately the English language commentary via wifi and personal device worked very poorly. Skipper started cruise with additional English commentary but very disappointingly this stopped after about third point of interest. I would not recommend this tour for English speakers. Oddly the skipper did return to some English language at end of tour to point out the tip jar. I sincerely hope this review gets back the tour company.

Nice boat ride. Minimal live commentary.... - We were happy to be able to see the canals via boat. The weather was rainy so we appreciated the covered boat. The negatives....had to take a ferry across from the central station. There were boats available right at the central station. The live commentary was very sparse. I would have enjoyed more of a history and sights to see commentary. Captain was funny, but more information would have been appreciated. Recorded audio was very sparse. Maybe just the nature of the enclosed boat or an especially rowdy bunch of passengers, it was difficult to hear commentary.

Very rude crews - The driver of the boat was very rude , offended passengers, and furthermore looked like under influence of drug or alchool Good experience if was not for the rude driver, I suggest to investigate and hope that people on the same boat did complain
