5.00We went on the boat tour at 13:15pm, very cold, thirsty and with low expectations. We were very warmly welcomed, and both Kevin and Lucas changed this “normal” sightseeing experience into a very fun/must repeat activity, hopefully with the some crew! Very nice, fun and friendly, definitely 5/5 stars!!

Too crowded and loud for an educational canal cruise
Kennedy V,,Jan 23, 2026
- Review from Viator
2.00Although the service was good and the staff on board were attentive, the overall environment of the boat was loud and crowded. Even with microphones, it was difficult to hear the hosts, as the boat was packed with too many people and constant chatter. There were so many people in line that we were scared we wouldn’t be able to all fit. This made the experience feel uncomfortable. The staff truly did a great job, but the sheer number of guests made it nearly impossible to enjoy or follow along with the commentary. If you’re looking for a calm, educational, or relaxing tour, this likely isn’t the right choice. However, it may be a good option for larger groups seeking a more social or party-style atmosphere rather than a guided educational experience.
Highly recommend, funny and fabulous guides!
