Review for Pedal Boat Rental only- It's a good activity, but be prepared to have to receive absolutely no instructions when you get there. We were provided with a map that did not include canal numbers or route names, so we had to figure that out ourselves with our phone GPS and told to grab the boat and have fun. No clear instructions on how to use the boat, safety instructions or tips, how to undock it or anything. On our own but we winged it, it was all pretty straight forward. I expected at least some type of oversight by the dock to let me know I wasn't doing anything crazy. All in all it was a good time, it was just a bit stressful realizing that I would get charged if i got lost and ended up in the wrong dock turns out it would've been pretty easy if i hadn't had brought my phone with me.

Good tour , we did this at 9am and no one was there. It is quite hard work so I wouldnt recommend it for unfit people

Nice way to spend little time and look at the city from a different angle.

Paddle boats were fun, but we still had to wait in the big line twice. Once to get the boat and again to get the 20 Euro deposit back. Having the ticket to Heineken did speed that up.

Got a dodgy boat which kept filling up with water and the people running it werent helpful.

Bad weather so we didn't end up using. I give it a three though because the advertisement states that the boats have covers. When I asked the counter person laughed at me, in a polite way.

Over charged, no deal with Heinikan experience as advertise

Nos encantó la experiencia. Nos lo pasamos muy bien, con la emoción de no chocar con ningún barco (en las intersecciones podia ocurrir), viendo los canales y las calles desde esa perspectiva, pasando por debajo del sauce llorón y pedaleando a tope. Te dan acceso a un plano para seguir una ruta y ver alguno lugares emblemáticos. Le pongo 4 estrellas porque el patin estaba bastante sucio y habia hasta una araña en su telaraña.

Une autre façon de visiter Amsterdam, très bon moment ! Accueil parfait 👌 En plus le gars parler français c’était impeccable parce qu’au début on croyait que l’on allez pas pouvoir ouvrir une petite binouze et finalement Amsterdam est la ville de la défonce donc que du bénéf
Vive Amsterdam

Leider haben wir die Falsche Adresse für die Tretboote erhalten und leider dadurch keine Zeit mehr gehabt mit dem Tretboot zu fahren, somit haben wir für die Heineken Tour viel zu viel bezahlt.... Statt normal 16,- haben wir wegen dem Tretboot 25,- bezahlt.
Die Heineken Tour war toll, man erhält 3 Biere bei dieser Tour zum trinken :
man erfährt einiges und hat auch am Schluss eine gute Aussicht am Dach - hier 5 STERNE
