Stefan our guide was super. Informative, fun but not annoying. Left time for peaceful sightseeing as well. Oh and what a singer!

We had a great tour. When the boat showed up, all the seats were wet as it had rained overnight. Nothing was provided to dry the seats. Other than that, all was good.

It was great. The views, the canals, the bridges and the commentary was awesome but there has to be a better way to find the boarding point of the boat as we were earlier at the other side and discovered it later after asking folks.
