Disappointing - We were with friends on the boat to show them the city from the canals. Unfortunately, however, it does not go into the city centre at all, but only along a rather desolate outer area without any flair with, among other things, a large construction site. There is no information about Groningen at all, but there is nothing interesting to see on the route to tell anything about. Certainly suitable for wet bachelor parties, but not to see Groningen from its beautiful canal side. Unfortunately, this is not clear from the description on Tripadvisor, I should have read the review of my predecessor. The team is really nice on the boat, but the drink prices are more on the sappy side. Overall no recommendation for this tour

Not recommended - Nice team, but the route was not nice at all. You don't go into the canals. Far too expensive for what you see. This boat trip is not recommended.

Don't book this one. - This operator did not arrive for the cruise and did not respond to our emails. We could not do the cruise and we were left high and dry.
