Fantastic Outing - This was a great cruise! Captain Cole was amazing and did a fantastic job explaining the lights and different sites we saw! My mom had a hard time getting into the boat but he was very helpful! The wine and snacks were the perfect addition. We stayed very warm inside with the blankets. I would highly recommend this cruise and Captain Cole!

Great small boat cruise - This was the perfect canal cruise! I looked at a lot of different options for the Light Festival Canal Cruise. I chose this one because it was a small boat. Everyone on the cruise with us was very friendly. Our guide, Cole, was very nice and knowledgeable. I’m glad I chose this canal cruise!

Very attractive down to the last detail! - What a wonderful tour. Taken care of down to the last detail by the guide. Hot drinks such as mulled wine and tea. Delicious snacks. Clear explanation of the atmospheric works of art you sail past. Rocco provides his tour with a lot of love and attention to details, which makes it an unforgettable experience.
