We had an absolute blast. We saw Gouda in a whole other perspective, we enjoyed the fun with the boatman, who told us interesting facts about this beautiful city. We were with a complete group of collegues, and noticed that the fun we had together really worked in bonding with eachother. Totally recommended!

We serendipitously discovered this little gem as we arrived in Gouda after cycling from Delft. Stopping at the Cheese Experience en route to our hotel, the boat was about to leave in a couple of minutes. We jumped on board and it was the best introduction to Gouda that we could have had, setting us up for further exploration of the city on foot later. As promised, we visited several heritage sights on the canal tour and heard many interesting stories.
We would highly recommend the Bootjie Kaas, Gouda Canal Cruise to all visitors to Gouda.

It is nice to go to Gouda and see part of the city from the water. Yet slightly different than from the road. You will also sail through special structures that have kept the canals clean for centuries. Good explanation of the map in different languages. We were with a group of friends. 12 people sailed for two hours through the city and to the historic harbor full of beautiful restored ships

On Sunday 25 August, on our wedding day (45 years), we sailed through the Gouda canals with 3 families with Boat Cheese. It was very special to see Gouda from the boat. Skipper Lola told many stories about the history of Gouda and about all kinds of buildings and other facts.
Our grandchildren (aged 12, 7 and 4) were also "kept busy" by Lola in a nice way. They really enjoyed it. It's worth repeating. Thanks Lola for your commitment.

Wat een mooie recensie, hartelijk dank daarvoor! We zijn ontzettend blij dat jullie zo'n bijzondere dag hebben beleefd op het water, zeker op zo'n speciale gelegenheid als jullie 45-jarige trouwdag. Het is geweldig om te horen dat iedereen, van jong tot oud, heeft genoten van de tocht en van Lola's verhalen. We geven je complimenten zeker aan haar door.
Met warme groet,

When visiting Gouda, this is a fun way to discover the city from the water and hear fun information. We had a nice and relaxed group on board. The skipper could tell wonderful stories, often with a good sense of humor. Low bridges and occasional bending increased the fun.

Dankjewel Wim, dat je met ons meegevaren bent en de moeite hebt genomen om een beoordeling over je ervaringen te schrijven!
Wij houden van Gouda en haar rijke geschiedenis en doen niets liever dan dat te delen met onze gasten.
Je zou denken dat we er zelf aan wennen, maar we vinden het elke keer weer heel erg leuk om te horen dat onze gasten er net zoveel genieten als wij.
Zegt het voort en wellicht tot een volgende keer!

After the Easter breakfast we had at the Markt, which was a wonderful experience, we went on the tour through the canals of Gouda with the Bootje Kaas boat. The skipper navigated us with high precision though the sometimes narrow canals and under (very) low bridges. In the mean time we learned interesting facts about the historic city of Gouda. We had a great time!

The uncovered Yellow Cheese Boat of Gouda is the best way to experience Gouda; we were able to access many areas of the city the covered boats just aren't able to go. The skipper, a citizen of Gouda, provided both Dutch and English commentary. Although most of the canal is covered by tall trees, suggest bringing a hat, for sunny areas. We had a great experience and learned of many city sights to visit in addition to the economies of 15th century Gouda.

Beautifull Tour with my Chinese friends...on the canals of historic Gouda,
Thanks to the low boat we 'sailed' through the most ,stil unseen, places .
The sailor was a nice guy who talks the English language also, besides German and Dutch so we understood his painting words along with the magnificent seeings. The boat was nice equipt and easy to find

I was with my parents and friends, we had the most fabulous weather conditions in october, what a lovely cruise thru the magical historic town of Gouda. We brought our own drinks and some snacks (which i heard that can be provided including the cruise aswell) and there was a lot of singing going on on the boat, people ashore clearly enjoyed that aswell. We had a lot of fun ducking down under the low bridges. Highly recommended esspecially with a group of friends/family.
