The guide told interesting stories. I expected to see the Keizersgracht, Herengracht and Prinsengracht but our tour took us to the eastern part of the city and visited none of those, which was a bit disappointing. Perhaps I should have chosen the other departing point. There was no shade on the spot where we stood waiting for boarding.

The cheese was delicious with a good sized portion. Refills of wine and beer and soft drinks were frequently offered. The commentary was also fun and interesting. Our host was very welcoming and friendly and worked hard, thank you.

The boat was really quiet and smooth. It didn't even feel like you were moving at all. The skipper and the guide were amazing as well. Learned a lot of things in an hour

It was everything we hoped to expect. The seating around the table was comfortable. The cheese and wine were great value and most of all Maddie and Lizzie were so attentive and fun to listen to, they were really engaging.
