Very nice afternoon at Terrasje Speciale! - This was a truly unique experience! We drank a delicious specialty beer on the boat with bitterballen and were kindly helped by the staff. It is really like sitting on a normal terrace but then you also sail through the Groningen canals, where you can also sit covered when it rains.

A Must-Do in Groningen! - Don’t expect a traditional boat tour with recorded facts about the city. Expect an awesome time with your friends! Recently, I enjoyed the Boat Tour, and it was a fantastic experience! The boat was newly renovated, comfortable, and the bar was great. We had a blast. The staff were friendly and professional, and the selection of beers was excellent. The tour was well-organized and lasted just the right amount of time. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Groningen! It’s a unique and fun way to experience the city.

Amazing - Very friendly staff. Music was great, hard enough to hear it and not to hard so that people do not start screaming. Amazing!

Boat ride in Groningen - Very staff, but there wasn't any commentary about what we were seeing from the boat. Also, I thought we would see more of Groningen and the sights.

Boring tour without sights - Finding the station was not immediately apparent, it said in the voucher that the dock was on the bear on the bridge. The boat is very nicely designed and the bar really great made. Via code you can place your order immediately and everything is prepared quickly. But the real reason to be on board is to see something of Groningen. This is unfortunately a total flop because you drive 15 minutes in one direction, turn around and drive 15 minutes back to the starting point. After that it goes 15 minutes in the other direction and back. All set. Seen by Groningen: nothing. Tip: then rented us a bike for 10€/day and explored the WHOLE city. Much better than this tour
