Croisière au moulin à vent de Leiden
Description
Depuis le centre-ville de Leiden, nous vous naviguerons vers les magnifiques lacs en moins de 30 minutes. Une fois arrivé aux «lacs d'Amsterdam», vous pourrez profiter du paysage des polders néerlandais. Cette zone est caractérisée par des lacs et des îles peu profonds. Les îles sont des polders et sont toujours en cours d'assèchement par 18 moulins à polders restaurés en fonctionnement. La plupart de ces moulins peuvent être vus pendant la croisière. Nous naviguerons le long des polders avec des vaches dans la prairie, des îles avec des moulins à vent historiques, des champs de bulbes colorés et de belles vues. Les lacs sont jonchés de voiliers et de petits bateaux, on ne peut plus hollandais!

C'est la Hollande dans son intégralité: polders, vaches, moulins à vent, lacs, vues magnifiques et beaux villages hollandais. Le cœur vert est un paysage national. Les différentes zones du Green Heart of Holland ont leur propre caractère et leur apparence. Chaque zone est unique en termes d'emplacement, de paysage et d'histoire culturelle. Ensemble, ils font du Green Heart of Holland un paysage spécial. Le capitaine vous informe de tous les sites touristiques pendant le voyage.

Lovely boat ride! However, it was a bit hard to know what we were looking at. There is an app which gives some limited information in English. I wish the Captain had given his narrative in both Dutch and English, rather than sticking to Dutch. He asked if the group spoke Dutch and the answer was no in many cases. His English was excellent.
Being on a boat in always fun. We saw wide open fields and a few windmills. Canal tours will generally bring you through the city but this cruise takes you out near the farmlands and beautiful house boat communities. Would have preferred English speaking guide but you can listen on your phone so battery up before departure. On board service was excellent and friendly- love the hard working ladies. They put their soul into to the tour
The cruise is relaxing, informative, and fun. The staff was welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed our trip and recommend it!
The boat was lovely, clean and well piloted, the weather was chilly but bright. Sadly the guide only spoke dutch (the majority of passengers were very nice Dutch). Truth is we found it a bit boring, Leiden is a lovely town but being so low in the water meant there was'nt much to see- an hour would have sufficed.
Lovely place would have liked to explore further but stopped there on route from a fantastic day in Keukenhof to The Hague for dinner. Loved the windmill on the canal so Dutch! Stopped and had our first Kapsalon ( loaded fries) delious! Well worth stopping and having a wonder.
This was a really great cruise as we had family visitng from South Africa, they really wanted to see windmills and thats what was delivered.
Gorgeous day on the canals. Clean boat with nice indoor and outdoor seating options. Really enjoyed seeing more of the Netherlands from the water and talking with folks from around the globe.
The description is purposely misleading. For the language of the tour it says “English - tour guide” which leads you to believe that the tour will be spoken in English. It was only spoken in Dutch. And I did ask the captain and he said that we can connect to the Wi-Fi and there’s an audio tour in English. That was correct however you can barely hear the audio tour because whenever it plays/speaks in English the boat guide is speaking over the loud boat microphone in Dutch….So you can’t even hear the audio your anyway. This was disappointing.
Dear, I am very sorry to hear that you did not hear the audio guide. The captain was correct; there is an audio guide in different languages (also in English) Because the largest part of the guests during your cruise was Dutch, the captain has decided to speak in Dutch. The non-Dutch speaking guests can indeed connect to the audio guide via our free WiFi network. It is of course not the intention that the speakers are so loud that you can no longer understand the audio guide, we will discuss this with the specific captain. We apologize for this inconvenience. We hope that despite missing the explanation you still enjoyed a nice cruise.
Amazing trip well worth it. Great crew, good commentary. Bonus was them negotiating the Lake with 300 boats full of scouts having a regatta, well done 👏
I went on several canal cruises during my two weeks in The Netherlands, and this was my favorite. It is different because you get to go through lakes, get a fascinating history on polders and the beautiful windmills, and the crew were so accommodating, welcoming, and friendly. The boat itself was incredibly clean with a nice bathroom, a spacious open deck area in the back, and the bar was clean pouring fresh Heineken on draft. Also had a slice of apple pie with a cup of coffee. I loved it, will recommend to all my friends back in America, and let my local friends in Den Haag know it's a great tour for them and their kids.
