Amazing experience, enjoyed a lot and learned something new about the canals and history. There were snacks and hot chocolate with marshmallows on board, too. Upper deck was available for those who are not afraid of the rain.

Great trip, just a little difficult to hear the commentary inside with other passengers and children on board, but we had a great time.

Good experience and I’d recommend it. On the return journey the commentary was a little hard to hear - not sure why. Could it be increased in volume (Just slightly)
