Fun cruise - We were a little worried at first that it would be a tourist trap and when we saw the line of people, but we had a great time!! The guide was outstanding!!! Funny and also with some history - very amusing, friendly and we all had a fun trip.

Enchanting Evening - The All-Inclusive Amsterdam Light Festival Cruise offers excellent service, a selection of beer and wine, and a fun atmosphere. It’s a delightful way to experience stunning light art installations along the historic canals. Highly recommended for an enjoyable and unique evening.

Very good! - The young man who headed our trip was very good and quite amusing. I knocked off a star because he missed telling us in advance about the first light installation, only informing us once we had passed it! Plenty of free drinks available.

Good cruise. Poor Light Festival. - A good experience. Fia and Sergei were excellent guides. The light festival consisted of a number of art installations serving only to promote prejudices with regard to technology. It was unimpressive.

Very unfriendly staff - While the actual canal cruise was good we had paid for unlimited drinks and snacks. Upon boarding we were told there was mulled wine, wine beer or soda. I only like mulled wine not any other wine and no beer. When asked what we would like the majority said mulled wine to be then told they were having problems heating it up and it would be available soon. This never happened and when I mentioned to one of the staff I wasn’t very happy was ignored for the rest of the night. The unlimited snacks were a tub of crackers. Not great and definitely not customer friendly. If I went again would use another company as Amsterdam on a canal cruise is lovely.

Good but… - It was easy to find the crew. Their attitude was amazing and the Glühwein exceptional. My thing here was that I wasn’t expecting too many people, with kids. I think if you’re looking for a more private or romantic experience with someone else try to invest in it because it was quite uncomfortable to focus or just have a good time with my boy with some mothers talking about their maternity and their kinds screaming and yelling or playing in a very small place :/

Don’t bother - Poor joining instructions/directions, chaos on the quayside. You’re crammed into massively overheated boats and because they’re covered you can’t see much. Nearly passed out from the heat and overcrowding. Don’t bother.
