Full description

This one-hour cruise starts opposite Central Station on a small electric Eco Boat that can enter narrower canals than larger vessels. A local skipper tells stories live in English instead of relying only on a recording, and digital booklets cover eight languages.

Groups are capped at 28, and cushions and blankets are provided, with the boat run open or covered depending on conditions. Wine, beer and soft drinks can be added through an optional package.

It suits visitors who prefer a smaller group and a more personal commentary.
