Incredibly boring and meh

Mitch_B, Jul 2025

Truly boring. The canals were interesting except all the buildings are above you on each side. Only when you get to the Open water of the river can you really see the dimensions of the city. The whole tour is based on an audio recording which has the speakers near the front of the very small electric boat, which is particularly hard to hear. Unless the boat and the audio recording sync up at the right time, you're looking at stuff not at the right time. It was just incredibly boring. So if you like doing boring things, this is your thing.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you for your review! We offer a relaxing ride and a different perspective on the sights. We also have a convenient audio guide available in headphones.
