an amazing and immersive experience of when Amsterdam was the greatest city in the world

A wonderful insight into life a long time ago into a city that build the foundations for commerce and freedom. A perfect length mixing between the here and the now and the past. Extremely comfortable classy boat with a small group with the first drink free. highly recommended!

Even more fun than I expected!

In Amsterdam I had sailed many times, which is always great in itself. When I got to know this activity I was immediately triggered. I had never had VR glasses on before and then together with the history of Amsterdam this seemed like a nice experience. Now afterwards I can say it was even better than I thought. The tour tells you facts you don't hear anywhere else and together with the realistic images of Amsterdam from so long ago makes it a truly unique experience. Captain Pete, the guide with his accent is the best guide to this story. Colleagues talked about going again, but with friends and family. I think that says it all, highly recommended!!

An excellent way to combine a beautiful cruise along Amsterdam’s canals with an entertaining history lesson!

An excellent tour: well-run, great crew & so interesting to ‘see’ & hear so much of Amsterdam’s history. The content was well put together and really brought the experience to life. The route took us along canals we had not cruised along on previous canal tours. Highly recommended.
