We saw a lot more of Amsterdam in one trip than we'd have been able to see if we had been walking. The boat was heated which was a bonus on a cold day. The English commentary was provided by American voices - it would have been better to have a Dutch voice or local accent.

The captain was really welcoming and caring. He gave us some insight of the tour complementary to the audio guide and he even provided some complementary explanations in Spanish. The boat was clean and confortable. It was a lovely cruise.

It wasn't crowded on the boat, which was very pleasant. The skipper was very good and told funny jokes and stories in between. The boat was also very clean. A pleasant trip.

Get to see Amsterdam from a new perspective on this 75-min canal cruise with a multilingual audio guide, and the option to choose from four boarding points.

Sail through the city's most famous canals, such as the Prinsengracht and the Herengracht, and catch glimpses of moored iconic houseboats.

Nice boat ride. More explanation is needed; I thought it would pass by more iconic places in Amsterdam. It's just a ride through Amsterdam's canals and nothing else.
