Reviews

Fun activity for the whole family

The city tour is a very fun activity to do with the family. In one hour you sail through the canals of Groningen and get info on the different sights. The drinks were well taken care of. Definitely recommended! Not only for people outside the city of Groningen, but also as city dwellers we found it very fun.

Marlies van Gelder
What a fun way to explore the city of Groningen!

"Great service and helpful staff! We had a great time."

Patrick Sommers
Would recommend even to locals and residents!

"The perspective from the canal is very different and the history about sights you may have never even noticed before only makes the city more beautiful and interesting."

Sanne van Renesse
Sightseeing from the canals of the city Groningen

Fun way to see more of the city and its surroundings! From the water :) Also suitable when it drizzles, which is nice in the Netherlands. All kinds of stories are told.

Susan Blom
Fun cruise to discover Groningen

"During our city trip in Groningen we wanted to discover the city in a quiet way. From the only canal Groningen has, it's a great way to take a one-hour canal cruise with the canal company."

Very nice boat ride

"Really an enjoyable cruise around the canals where you have a different view of Groningen from the boat. The boat was comfortable with a glass roof, drinks and snacks available to purchase and a toilet on board.
