Best way to see the city! - What a fun trip. My entire family enjoyed the boat trip. Lex was a great guide and our captain was also great. Drinks were always full while we took in the lights and the city.

100/100 - I highly recommend it. Was super interesting and a great way to experience Amsterdam from the water. Our guide was like a picture book! The info was extremely interesting and not the classic tourist text but a conversation with a real local who loves his town❤️ Absolute recommendation!!! Thank you for that!

First visit - worth the trip! - This is our first visit to Amsterdam and this was a great way to see Amsterdam from the canals and learn a bit of history all while enjoying unlimited cocktails. Lex was our guide and he did a great job sharing the history and answering our questions. Seeing the illuminations was a bonus! Highly recommend.

Nice experience - Great guide a little confusing when we arrived as they didn’t tell us what to do and debts hanging around but the tour was good. How ever it’s not unlimited drinks we had one. Lights were good but not there all year. Friendly staff in the boat

Fun experience - The boat ride was nicely organized and fun! The boat arrived on time, drinks were unlimited and even though there wasn’t heating, the boat‘s roof and blankets kept us warm. The guide was friendly and funny but he could have gone into more detail on the light show projections and the history of the city.
