Relaxing lovely simple ride around the canals of Amsterdam - It was a nice relaxing canal ride with a few lovely views of historic buildings. The captain and staff were extremely friendly and made sure to offer drink service. I heard that the 75 minute rides included trips out into the river rather than just canals, but this stuck to the canals unfortunately. However it is definitely worth the $14 that I paid. The only downside was that the speaker in the back of the boat where I was sitting was not working properly and I could not hear then the narration and so I still don't know the significance of those buildings or any other history. There are no waves at all so even for people who get seasick this is very safe. It was very smooth.

Not a great experience. - We had high hopes for this canal tour. However, our departure was delayed by a late arrival from a group of school children. Their party took up more than half of the boat. They were loud obnoxious and their chaperones did not intervene. We could not hear the audio presentation on the boat because of the incessant chatter. School groups should book their own private tour. The boat was clean, comfortable and the captain to define job navigating. Next time I Would go with a smaller company, if fewer people on the boat.
