It was a wonderful experience, with the most beautiful sunshine, and we were lucky to have a private tour. The guide and captain was very nice and explained everything very well. What I particularly appreciated was that my personal needs were taken into account, and we were able to board at the lower spot, as I have knee problems and getting in and out would have been difficult. He addressed our needs, and I am very grateful for that. I can only recommend this tour. The price-performance ratio is unmatched. Thank you for the wonderful experience and the lovely afternoon. Warm regards, Conny & Olaf

The canal cruise is fun, an hour tuffing through the canals of Groningen. The mate is sociable, but has little historical awareness. Don't imagine the appetizers too much. The whole thing is really screamingly expensive...

This excursion was fabulous! It exceeded expectations thanks to the skipper Huib (spelling?). He is an engaging tour guide and a master of navigation. Going under the bridges was thrilling and hearing all the insights into the history and culture of Groningen was fascinating. Of course, the cheese and wine made it into a very relaxing and social hour. Highly recommended. Thank you Huib!

Enjoyed a relaxed round through groningen. Both the cheese and the wine were of good quality and there was nothing to complain about on our skipper. The manager Max was also a real gentleman and helped us with dismounting, because we found that a bit scary.
