Great tour! We were hesitant to book a canal tour because we were worried that it would be too “touristy”, but after several recommendations from locals for this tour, we decided to go for it. And it was lovely! A fantastic way to see the city and get a different perspective. The guide was knowledgeable of the history of the area, and the drinks and snacks were a great added bonus!

This was an amazing day with an awesome skipper, Anna was knowledgable with the area, answered all questions, kept the conversation going for 90 minutes. She was friendly and easy to talk to and ask questions

Very relaxed. Could have provided more info such as the neighborhoods that we passed....9 streets, Jordan, narrowest facade. But all in all, very good.

Tour was well organized and managed. Boat needed a few minutes maint, but that was explained and we boarded soon after. Tour and tour guide were awesome. Snacks and drinks put this one over the top. Didn't have to bring or remember anything and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Loved our tour and captain Eric! The tour felt intimate with the group of ~15 people total, but was still very professional and well run. Would recommend!
