Breathtaking! - We visited Amsterdam during the Light Festival - it's so beautiful to hear about the concept and details that went into the art with a stunning glassed boat that showed Amsterdam buzzing at night. I'd highly recommend going at around sunset time - absolutely stunning and would highly recommend it!

Light Festival Canal cruise - What a wonderful experience to see the city from the canals and the excellent artworks along the way. Friendly people and special memories made.

Hit n Miss - Great boat ride thru the canals, open boat was comfy and quite large so weren’t squashed into people. Booked online easily, maybe a little pricey for what you get thou. Light show was not anything spectacular but that’s not the canal operators fault. Our captain Kees was very knowledgeable on all things Amsterdam and welcomed questions. I’d recommend Canal Tours Amsterdam but I wouldn’t do the light festival again.

Not the best way to view the city - We opted for the evening cruise so that we could view the exhibits from the light festival but... it was rather underwhelming. The exhibits were interesting but far and few between, and in the winter dark you could barely see anything. Think you're better off renting a bike to tour the city - you'd cover more places and have more flexibility instead of sitting in a boat for 90minutes with no option but to complete the tour.

Awful experience! - What an absolutely ridiculous experience!!! It was a rainy day and despite the fact that we were waiting like sheep out there in the cold for 40 minutes without any update, we finally entered a boat that was supposed to be a luxury boat (we booked for what was called 'Amsterdam Light Festival Canal Cruise on Luxury Boat' with Amsterdam Boat Experience) and instead of luxury or even a decent closed boat, there was a boat with detachable plastic hood and as a result everything was wet inside, we were adivsed to open a window because we couldn't really watch anything through the plastic, so the water was dripping all over us and finally we had the whole tour soaking wet to the bone !!! I was severely pissed though the whole process and just wanted to end. I can only describe this as a total scum. Of course, the girl that was our guide was very polite, nothing to do with her, just the description of the service provided is severely misleading!!!

Boring and bed service - We were a couple of friends taking this tour. The service of the captain was very lame which even included insulting the audience. It felt like a school trip. The art is of a personal taste but it was hard to enjoy it with the ambience in the boat. Very disappointing given we take the most expensive your which should have been of higher level. Definitely won't go again on this tour or any similar by this company.
