Lovely Winter canal boat tour of the 2024 Amsterdam light festival - We booked tickets for a canal cruise on Christmas for the 2024 Light Festival. It was a nice and cozy boat tour with blankets, comfy cushions, alcohol, and a friendly and attentive tour guide (shout out to short bread Young and Skipper Pascal on our ride). The guide was very enthusiastic and made sure to address everyone's needs--seeing that I was a bit vision impaired, he made the effort to give me a seat closer to the front where I could hear him talk about the art pieces better and I very much appreciated it.
