Gary
The river cruise was excellent. The guide was polite and very informative.
Tony
We had an awesome canal cruise tour! Utrecht is such a beautiful city and it was a neat experience seeing the city from a boat. Unfortunately, I can't remember her name but the boat operator and tour guide was a young woman who is studying Dutch language/history/culture at the local university. Her English is perfect and provided a lot of interesting facts about the canal system and city in general. I highly recommend using this company for your canal cruise in Utrecht!
Linda
Excellent! Got a bit of history from the captain, wonderful ride!
Lance
Very enjoyable time on the canal. Boat was on schedule for both the departure and arrival. A good selection of drinks to choose your 2 drinks from. The captain was a very friendly young man and gave us some interesting stories about Utrecht.
chris
The city was beautiful and the cruise was smooth and fun. All of the information was pre-recorded so there wasnt a lot of interaction with the guide
Eike
Interesting and also funny facts about the beautiful city Utrecht during this 90 minutes boat ride through the „Grachten“ while enjoying cold drinks together.
Brenda
This was a fantastic cruise! The Skippers was very knowledgeable, also funny and friendly. 1.5 hours was a perfect amount of time. The drinks included added to perfect boat cruise. I feel this was the best value.
Jonathan
A great first glimpse into the city's canal, the history, and the life around it. Our guide (Tom?) was kind and offered good conversation.
Randy
A great way to experience Utrecht without the crowd on the streets. Punctual and nice that narration was in three different languages.
Jordyn
It’s true what they say — the best way to see Utrecht is from the water. I had an excellent tour of the canal on a quiet and calm Tuesday morning (11am tour). The skipper (Rokus) was great — a great story-teller, very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Utrecht and the buildings/sights we passed along the way. I highly recommend this cruise company. I especially like that they have open-top boats, it makes touring the canal much more enjoyable in my opinion. Definitely book your cruise with Utrecht Canal Cruises!
