It was amazing. Beautiful view from the Lookout tower. We enjoyed a nice drink on the large beanbags on the roof. We had booked it with our friends who were visiting from Scotland. They were absolutely amazed and also did the "Over the Edge" swing. Afterwards, we took the canal cruise, which was really great. It was also convenient to board right next to the Lookout tower. Very handy and well organized.

I particularly enjoyed this cruise in Amsterdam, which is an original and relaxing way to discover the city. The views were beautiful, with the typical houses, many bridges, and iconic canals. It was a very pleasant experience, with a calm and friendly atmosphere on board. I also really loved admiring Amsterdam from the water, which offers a different perspective of the city. The cruise was well-organized, the route was interesting, and the commentary allowed us to learn more about the main monuments and the history of Amsterdam. It was a great experience, ideal for enjoying the city peacefully while having a lovely time. I highly recommend this cruise to discover Amsterdam from a different angle and make some wonderful memories of the city. The only downside was that the guide, despite being very friendly, did not speak French. However, the audio guide was in English, which allowed us to follow along and understand the history of Amsterdam.

It was a clean and comfortable boat with great commentary and views for an unbeatable price! Stayed super dry during the rain. Soooo much nicer than all the packed and touristy cruises I see around Amsterdam.

The trip was wonderful and highly recommended! The crew members were also very friendly and did a great job organizing everything. After purchasing the tickets, we received not only an email but also an immediate WhatsApp message with the most important details and a route description. We received information about the sights and other details in Dutch and English. The duration of the trip was just right. Thank you so much for this wonderful memory :)
