As a family (kids 4+7 yrs), we really enjoyed the ride. Uncomplicated booking and payment, very nice briefing and we were able to start 30 minutes earlier because we were too early. They are "experienced in boating", but really anyone can operate the e-boat - therefore: if your feet are burning and the little ones are nagging, get on the boat and go for a spin. And if you get tips for the city at the end, then that's it added value! Would do it again!

nice tour, we enjoyed it. A nice open boat so we could see everything well and luckily got a nice breeze on this hot day. the bottle of water we got was also very welcome and nice and cool. Also very well thought along when we could not save the agreed time, we were allowed to rebook to a different time so that we could still sail along. thanks!

Facundo a crack! Nice, friendly, pleasant willing to help you as much as possible! I hope there is a Facundo on every excursion to every site you visit! And Pedro the driver a 10 too!

Nice boat trip with an excellent tour guide who provided lots of insight information about Rotterdam.

Very nice and interesting trip, the guide very friendly and attentive.
