Excellent Skipper Stephan, bedankt! - Great open boat tour of the Light Festival, made so much better by the knowledgeable (and funny) narration of our Skipper/Tour Guide Stephan. I’ll surely return for more tours and I highly recommend this company to all my airline co-workers, family and friends. PS. Don’t miss the yearly Light Festival in Amsterdam!

Dave Marshall - Did the Amsterdam light open boat tour. Our guide and Captain was Stephan Savic he was very knowledgeable, funny and very adept in his operation skills of the boat. It was chilly but he had that covered with hot spiced wine and tea plus blankets on board. I’ve done the canal tours a few times in Adam and always use Stromma our Captain was one of the best I’ve had as he is a South Amsterdam local so he knows a lot about what you see as you cruise by. I highly recommend hooking up with this Stromma your for all your canal cruising needs!! Tot Ziens!

Open boat ⛵ - Not nice when it's cold or in rain! I wanted to tell you briefly but I'm left with a minimum of signs. I hope it works now.

Disappointed - Disappointing, the photos circulating on the internet entice people to take part. In reality there are VERY VERY few objects.

Terrible experience during the light festival cruise. Don’t book with this company. - GPS system didn’t worked properly during the light festival tour. The problem started before departure. Still the boat left and we had to hear over and over again a broken loop. Very unprofessional, which left s bad taste from your company.

Horrible service. Pick another provider. - Organisation for this service is terrible and the staff service was rude and criminal. The staff shoved my partner in an effort to board the boat. This boat then malfunctioned and the cruise was further delayed from the wait for another boat. Pick another service provider, they all looked fantastic by comparison.
