Hectic to get there…pleasant, if crowded, ride.

The location was not findable with any electronic maps…almost missed the trip…This needs to be researched and clarified. The operator did call me and come up to meet us…The folks did not manage the seating well…folks did not choose to make room for the passengers?, making an uncomfortable ride. They boat operator/guide was knowledgeable

Sunset Relaxation

This was a relaxing way to see the sights in Amsterdam through the canals. It included one drink and the Captain provided interesting insights into the history of Amsterdam.
