Amazing Light Art ! - Great nighttime tour - Amsterdam has themed artistic light displays along the canals - tour guides on the boat were awesome describing the displays and possible interpretations. We had previously done a daytime cabal cruise , glad we decided to do this one as well.

Beautiful experience - Had a great time and absorbed so much interesting information about Amsterdam - history, art, architecture...just wow. And all that in one hour! We did a late afternoon tour in December but didn't feel the cold at all as we were amazed by all the stories were told!

Great Time on Canal Tour - My boyfriend and I enjoyed our one-hour canal tour with Jan and Claire. The tour was smooth and we enjoyed the benefit of a beautiful view of the canals without the hinder of windows. Be prepared for some chilliness in the cooler months, but the blankets and drinks on board helped. Our tour guides were friendly, funny, and shared a lot of interesting facts about Amsterdam. I would recommend this new canal tour company.

Great tour company! - You simply have to do a canal cruise if you go to Amsterdam! We did the one where the cheese and drinks are included, which was great if you drink a lot. But it was a covered boat with plastic windows, so after it was done, I wish we'd done the uncovered boat tour. The windows got in the way of taking great photos, and I think there's something wonderful about having the wind blowing through your hair on a boat. The day we went was overcast and cloudy so maybe it wouldn't have been an option anyway. The tour guide, Captain Lo, was awesome! The location was really easy to find and you can't miss them - they wear bright orange tops. The cheese and wine was good, and the mustard was amazing! I should've asked what it was! There are blankets for your use in case you get cold, and the seats were comfortable. If I had to do it again, I'd book with Flagship again but the less expensive tour. Totally recommend!

Not worth the excursion. - Long wait in line, cold and windy along with rain, and definitely not a luxury boat as the plastic windows were rolled up for the entire ride. The guides were nice and warm mulled wine was mostly for keeping our hands warm, The snacks were pretzels and crackers in a small plastic container.
