Croisière du 24 avril 2024, trouvée par hasard en nous promenant à pied.
C'est une croisière exceptionnelle par la qualité et la polyvalence du bateau pour un prix inférieur aux autres (14,50€ pour une bonne heure).
Nous ne voulions pas d'un bateau entièrement vitré pour faire de belles photos ni d'un bateau ouvert (il faisait 10° et nos épouses voulaient être protégées du froid. Ce bateau fait les deux, la plus grande partie est vitrée mais la plateforme arrière est entièrement ouverte.
L'entreprise est de 1922 et notre bateau de 1964, splendide avec du bois verni et parfaitement entretenu. Moyennant un supplément vous pouvez demander une boisson. Commentaires dans la langue de votre choix en plus de l'anglais.
Merci à l'équipe (accueil et capitaine), votre bateau est splendide et met en valeur votre belle ville d'Amsterdam

Cruise of April 24, 2024, found by chance while walking.
It is an exceptional cruise due to the quality and versatility of the boat for a price lower than the others (€14.50 for a good hour).
We did not want a completely glass boat to take beautiful photos nor an open boat (it was 10° and our wives wanted to be protected from the cold. This boat does both, most of it is glass but the rear platform is completely open.
The company dates back to 1922 and our boat dates back to 1964, splendid with varnished wood and perfectly maintained. For an additional fee you can request a drink. Commentary in the language of your choice in addition to English.
Thank you to the team (reception and captain), your boat is splendid and highlights your beautiful city of Amsterdam
