I went with a group of 6 and we had a wonderful time. Our guide Maya was amazing. The sights were lovely and the guides were very informative. Thank you so much for a memorable evening!

While being on the boat was lovely, I spent 80 euro's for two people and booked ahead of time as was recommended when you could've gotten on the same boat for about 20 euro's per person; a massive difference in funds for the EXACT same experience. It was only an hour long to sit on a covered boat (not even the pretty ones with flowers) where they gave you local information about the city about three times. The ONLY difference between the others and us for that price was that we got 'crackers', and 1 single other 'drink' option.

A wonderful cruise, attentive staff, a warm atmosphere, and stunning scenery from start to finish. I really enjoyed this cruise thanks to the excellent organization, and the Gouda was delicious—thank you for the experience!!!!

They serve a piece of cheese to encourage people to drink. It’s not a cheese tasting. They should have a Spanish translation system.
