Joyful - We really enjoyed our trip with Cees. It was very interesting to explore the town of Groningen from the canal side, and we learned much about its history.
Cees really earnes the sunglasses.

Our Groningen weekend - How is it possible that Jelle from Brabant can and knows so much about Groningen so passionately on the canal cruise of his sloop.
Chapeau Jelle.
The trip was very rewarding and the drinks on board were a nice windfall.

Chill canal tour. - Nice, non-pretentious canal trip with unlimited drinks and a nice guide. It was a nice day out ( cool but clear) which made it even better. Might want to use a boat more protected from weather on days that aren’t a so nice.

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!
