It was an excellent tour. We found it hard to really get a good look at the Festival of Lights from in the cabin of the boat, and only saw a handful of exhibits. The guide and information was great. The drinks were great, snacks were a small plastic container of crackers (I’d improve on the snack option). Any time we get on the water and see the city is a good time.

Due to some issues on the boat company, timeslot has been pushed on a later time there were a lot of people wanting to see LIGHTFEST. Since timeslot has been moved we we’re not able to see those LIGHTS we paid for. Very frustating, it would be better if they move it on the next day. Had they informed us advance that theres no LIGHTS anymore to witness, for sure we cancelled it. PLEASE DO BETTER NEXTIME, we payed for nothing.

Disappointing! We could hardly see the light sculptures through the plastic curtains. Definitely not a luxury boat tour… on the pictures and description of your advertisement though, you only showed pictures of a boat with real windows.

It would've been wonderful if we had any sights to see that night, however, all the lights were off due to curfew. It should've been postponed to a day cruise the next day. Hopefully it'll be improved in the future.

The cruise was nice and the guide was really good at providing interesting facts and involving the participants. The only downside was that we could not really see the views of Amsterdam, part of the boat was closed off with plastic panels that completely block off the sights. If you are sitting in the side of the boat that has glass windows, you have a better chance at enjoying the canal views.
