“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.”
Cruise Gouda’s historic canals in a traditional open boat, see nine landmarks, hear local stories, and follow the old route toward the Dutch IJssel.
