5.00If I could give 10 stars I would. Absolutely wonderful experience, literally like going back in time, in a 100 year old boat too!! For someone like me who loves history, and usually feels ill with VR or boats, this was just the best. Will 100% go again!
Must see experience!!

5.00Very special and unique experience. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the city of Amsterdam. Suitable for all ages and it is binding in many languages. So it's very affectionate, everyone can enjoy this. The guidance during the tour is very good. And the combination of a real cruise with a number of VR moments during the cruise makes this a unique experience.
