5.00This was a great way to see around the city. Our guide also shared some history with us. I would recommend this tour.
Beautiful view from a comfortable place

5.00Really recommend such a boat trip. You see the city of Utrecht in a different way. You sit comfortably, are provided with a drink and the skipper gives good information about this beautiful city. Dosed, so there was enough time to just enjoy mindlessly.

5.00An initial introduction to the city and a brief insight into the history of Utrecht. The boat tour offers a pleasant, relaxing break in dry weather and can be easily integrated into the day's schedule.
A Perfect Evening

5.00We arrived for the 6pm cruise but it was almost full and the people seemed to be one party. We asked if we could wait for the 6:30 and were so pleased we did. There were just three other people. They were from Russia and very interesting to chat to. Our guide was lovely - both entertaining and knowledgeable. The sun was just starting to go down and everywhere was calm and beautiful. A perfect evening cruise.
Fun even in the rain

5.00This is an open boat tour so weather may affect your ride. Umbrellas were provided and the rain was short-lived. We had a wonderful guide/captain in Anna. We would book with this company again.
I was expecting more.

3.00The boat itself was nice and looked nice, but the guide barely mentioned anything and seemed uninterested. Online you can also find everything copied from a trip in Amsterdam, it seems, and the guide himself knew more about Amsterdam than about Utrecht. It says online that you would get a welcome drink, but when I was on the boat I still had to pay for my drink.
It was great!!!

5.00It was a very spontaneous action that we boarded at Luuc and Jasmine. It was very nice, we laughed and chatted with the other guests. The atmosphere was great and Luuc proudly introduced his sister Jasmijn who was on board as a tour guide for the first time! She did great! Highly recommended! We will definitely get on board again🥂☀️
Very relaxing cruise...
