Jonathan – United StatesNovember 23, 2023 – Verified booking
I had worried it might be too much of a tourist trap. But it was an enjoyable and low key outing. The place is heated so no worries about it being cold. You get a great view of the canals and a useful overview of the history and some architectural sites without it being overblown or overdramatized.

Accidentally booked the wrong time via the app. The captain took us with him without any problems. He talked very nicely during the journey. In between there were audio commentaries from the tape with around 20 languages to choose from. Very informative and entertaining.

Trip was good and comfortable even under rain (boat has heating inside). Only one think was disturbing: audio guide not always describes clear location of a historical building (at least words "on the left/right side" would be helpful). Maybe it's a problem of specific language adaptation (russian in our case), but we really couldn't figure out a context without google maps
