3.00route description is indicated too far down, so I looked up the website of this company with the matching address and found out 10 minutes before start time that the boat leaves from another location.
Disappointing

2.00We were with friends on the boat to show them the city from the canals. Unfortunately, however, it does not go into the city centre at all, but only along a rather desolate outer area without any flair with, among other things, a large construction site. There is no information about Groningen at all, but there is nothing interesting to see on the route to tell anything about. Certainly suitable for wet bachelor parties, but not to see Groningen from its beautiful canal side. Unfortunately, this is not clear from the description on Tripadvisor, I should have read the review of my predecessor. The team is really nice on the boat, but the drink prices are more on the sappy side. Overall no recommendation for this tour
Good!

2.00Nice team, but the route was not nice at all. You don't go into the canals. Far too expensive for what you see. This boat trip is not recommended.
