      Like my predecessors, we enjoyed the tour very much. You can get information during the tour via an audio guide. The audio guide is available in many different languages and the captain hands out the sterile headphones before the journey. Just remember to pack drinks or buy them at the starting point, as you couldn't buy anything on the boat.

      An atmospheric trip through Amsterdam's canals, a chance to get to know the city and the history of the canals from a different perspective with an audio guide. Many places of Amsterdam in a nutshell, which to visit from the mainland, you probably need to spend half a day. There is also a small episode of the North Sea Canal (Noordzeekanaal). An attraction especially for younger passengers, but not only. Ship with a glass roof. You can see everything, but on hot days (and that's how it was on that day), the inside of the ship turns into a heated aquarium. Well, something for something. Overall, I recommend it to everyone. Easy access to the marina by public transport.
