Great enjoyed it - It was a wonderful cruise, nice to see Groningen from the water. The weather was beautiful too.
We had a nice young student as Guide, Maarten, sometimes he forgot to send when he told a beautiful story, which was hilarious.

Beautiful canal tour with very good guide and many drinks - It was a very good tour! The tour guide Huib was very nice and told many interesting things about the history of Groningen.
The drinks were nicely chilled and there was definitely more than enough on board!
Worth a visit for anyone who wants to learn a little about the city and see it from a different perspective!
Thanks Huib for the awesome tour!

Don't miss it! A highlight of Groningen. - You book a historic boat tour through Groningen and are totally surprised. Discovering this fascinating, cute little town from this perspective is delightful. So if you ever come to Groningen make sure to do this tour with boat Groningen. Timo was a very friendly, competent and knowledgeable skipper. He only made the ride what it was, an unforgettable highlight.
