★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 158 reviews · 1h 15m · from $18

75 minute guided canal cruise in Gouda on an authentic barge, through historic trade routes and Museum Harbour. $18, Dutch/English.

“Fijn om op deze manier de stad te ontdekken, onze gids deed heel erg haar best om ons een en ander bij te brengen. Het was niet zo evident om het allemaal goed te volgen omdat je in de boot zelf weinig zag van de omgeving. Dus als ze verwees naar een gebouw bijvoorbeeld aan de rechterzijde, dan kon je dat niet zien, vonden we toch een beetje jammer.”
