4.00Great tour that is educational, learning something about Amsterdam that you would not have learned. It was a little cold in April so being on a cruise that is covered is nice. Small bites is only cheese, was expecting more.

5.00The trip was a fun experience. The guides were switched on and provided fun facts without being highbrow. Drinks were regularly topped up but not much in terms of snacks. A relaxing ride.
FUN!!!!
