A boat ride in a new city is always a great idea and this was no different! We purchased the snack box and boat ride option for €25. The selection of snacks included sweet & salty popcorn, crisps, packet of peanuts, a Dutch stroopwafle and your choice of drink. The canned wine selection was wonderful, I selected the Prosecco which was sweet and light! Bottles of wine are also available to purchase for groups, in addition standard waters and fizzy drinks. All things considered, this was good value for money. The boat ride itself was wonderful, the earphone made it easy to learn without being overwhelmed by noise and the views were spectacular. I will definitely be back from a sunset boat tour. This is a perfect date, group activity and even solo activity! I must also note that the staff in the shop and on the boat were also very friendly and welcoming.

The tour was nice, the only negative point is that before boarding the ship there was a lady taking pictures of the passengers but she never mentioned what it was for, the thing is after the journey ends you have the chance to buy your photo, if not they keep it whish you didnt gave your consent for in first place.

It was a leisurely canal trip and some good audio commentary, the earphones were free. It was a sunny day and by the end of it we were sweltering because, despite the windows and roof being open, there was no breeze so it got very hot. If it's sunny bring a hat and bottle of water.
