This was an totally open boat canal cruise so there will be no windows, or any other distraction. We got a KINBoat named Mon Ami, with the Norwegian captain, whom very talkactive and funny and so passionate about his job and his kmowledge about Amsterdam. We really enjoyed this 1 hour and 15 minutes journey along canals in Amsterdam. Lots of fun history and facts, with beautiful scenic view of canal boats and houses. Be careful, it'll be very windy because there were no roof at all. But it's totally affordable and recommended during visit to Amsterdam.

The tour itself was quite enjoyable and the guide, Martin, was very informative and witty at times. However, it is worth pointing out that since the boat is quite load and Martins voice is not necessarily attention grabbing, the lack of a microphone was noticeable.
