The seats are not facing the direction of travel, but are on the side. The view of the water is also blocked at the end of the boat by a high front structure. Too bad, you have to stand up to be able to see well. We were able to take our dog with us without any problems. We thought that was good.
Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Es freut uns, dass Sie Ihren Hund problemlos mit an Bord nehmen konnten. Unsere offenen Sloepen bieten bewusst ein anderes Erlebnis als die klassischen, geschlossenen Grachtenrundfahrten. Die Sitzplätze sind so angeordnet, dass man sich gut unterhalten und die Umgebung gemeinsam genießen kann. Außerdem verfügen unsere Boote über ein Achterdeck, auf dem Gäste ebenfalls Platz nehmen können. Wir hoffen, Sie bei Ihrem nächsten Besuch in Amsterdam wieder an Bord begrüßen zu dürfen.
With beautiful weather we were allowed to board Kinboat. A beautiful open boat with luxurious pillows and tasty drinks on board. And our skipper Rosa completed the experience by telling us about the Utrecht canals, houses, buildings and surroundings. Highly recommended during a day out in Utrecht with friends, family or your team. Enjoy!
Bedankt voor deze prachtige review! 😊 Wat fijn om te horen dat jullie zo hebben genoten van de rondvaart met Rosa. We zijn blij dat het mooie weer én de Utrechtse grachten hebben bijgedragen aan een geslaagde ervaring. We hopen jullie snel weer aan boord te mogen verwelkomen wanneer jullie weer in Utrecht zijn!
This was such a peaceful boat ride. The captain was very nice and told us all about the history of the city.
Thank you for your lovely review! 😊 We're so happy you enjoyed your peaceful canal cruise. We hope to welcome you back on board the next time you're in Amsterdam!
We loved our Utrecht Canal Boat Ride with Manuel! He was very knowledgeable about his hometown and shared so many insights that only a local knew. He was fun, courteous and made sure our beverage needs were met and all questions answered! It was truly the favorite part of our Utrecht day visit! Five (5) Star Recommendation 🤩
What a lovely review, thank you! 🤩 We're so happy to hear your cruise with Manuel was the highlight of your day in Utrecht. We'll be sure to let him know how much you appreciated him. We hope to welcome you back on board the next time you're in Utrecht!
This was a great way to see around the city. Our guide also shared some history with us. I would recommend this tour.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad you enjoyed seeing Utrecht from the water. It's great to hear you enjoyed the stories shared by our skipper along the way. We hope to welcome you on board again the next time you're in Utrecht!
Really recommend such a boat trip. You see the city of Utrecht in a different way. You sit comfortably, are provided with a drink and the skipper gives good information about this beautiful city. Dosed, so there was enough time to just enjoy mindlessly.
Bedankt voor je mooie review! Wat fijn om te horen dat jullie zo hebben genoten van de canal cruise door Utrecht. Utrecht is inderdaad prachtig vanaf het water. Leuk dat ook onze schipper zo in de smaak viel. We hopen jullie snel weer aan boord te mogen verwelkomen!
Canal tour was an amazing experience, highly recommended!
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so happy to hear you had an amazing time on our canal cruise. We hope to welcome you on board again the next time you're in Utrecht!
Wonderful experience! I highly recommend it. A tour of the city's canals, curiosities, and a bit of history. A viewpoint that is absolutely not to be missed. Thanks to the skipper Alejandro, truly exceptional and very friendly!
Grazie mille per la sua splendida recensione! Siamo felici di sapere che ha apprezzato il tour e tutte le storie condivise lungo il percorso. Trasmetteremo sicuramente i suoi complimenti ad Alejandro. Speriamo di poterla accogliere nuovamente a bordo la prossima volta che visiterà Utrecht!
An initial introduction to the city and a brief insight into the history of Utrecht. The boat tour offers a pleasant, relaxing break in dry weather and can be easily integrated into the day's schedule.
Vielen Dank für Ihre schöne Bewertung! Es freut uns, dass die Tour Ihnen einen guten ersten Eindruck von Utrecht vermittelt hat. Wir hoffen, Sie wieder an Bord begrüßen zu dürfen, wenn Sie das nächste Mal in Utrecht sind!
We arrived for the 6pm cruise but it was almost full and the people seemed to be one party. We asked if we could wait for the 6:30 and were so pleased we did. There were just three other people. They were from Russia and very interesting to chat to. Our guide was lovely - both entertaining and knowledgeable. The sun was just starting to go down and everywhere was calm and beautiful. A perfect evening cruise.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the evening cruise and that waiting for the later departure worked out so well. We hope to welcome you on board again the next time you're in Amsterdam!
