What a unique and super cool experience! This must be one of the nicest boats in Amsterdam in the first place, but the VR experience made it extra interesting. When you put on the VR goggle, you really think you're on a little wooden boat, rowing through Amsterdam in the 1600's. I would recommend taking this boat tour

I enjoyed a fantastic canal tour on a beautiful salon boat, enhanced by VR glasses that vividly brought 17th-century Amsterdam to life. The visuals were stunning, offering a clear and immersive glimpse into the city’s Golden Age history. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making it a highly recommended experience!

I would highly recommend taking a trip with VR Voyage. I am a citizen of Amsterdam myself, so I know how nice it is to do a cruise along the canals and this company let you experience it all. On top of the amazing boat and route, this ride includes a VR experience that let you discover the most prosperous time of Amsterdam. It is educational and entertaining at the same time. The combination between chilling and cruising and having the VR glasses on is perfectly in balance; I can't wait to do it again!
