Fantastic! A warm welcome, a wonderful boat ride with a great, friendly captain, and a great audio tour available in many languages. What a fascinating history, and it was so nice to be out on the water. It’s also easy to find near Central Station. There’s a café where you can stop by before the tour. Thank you, Lovers Cruise Amsterdam!

The boat had a nice route, however the audioguide could be a bit more informative. It is also wortj mentionning that the engine is quite loud at the back.

It was great—we took a cruise through Amsterdam while listening to the audio guide, which was in Spanish in our case.
