A beautiful walk on the canals! - We were walking on the platform next to the central station and we ran into Ed who convinced us to get on the boat. We receive a drink from the start and in a friendly Mood. The explanations are in English with some funny anecdotes. Too bad the tour only lasts an hour.

Fantastic experience - Fantastic experience that we will almost certainly do again by changing the tour of the channels. It is a very romantic and interesting experience, useful the use of audio guide headphones that gave information about the places visited.

Poem underside of bridge... - Poem underside of bridge is Dutch, not Hebrew. Do better research. It’s there for people to read when bridge goes up.
