Amazing! - This canal cruise was definitely the best way to see Amsterdam at night!! The cocktails were delicious! Although the description says the cruise comes with only two cocktails each, there were also unlimited non-alcoholic beverages and red and white wines. Our tour guide was fantastic—she did an excellent job at providing commentary and was extremely attentive to the needs of all guests. Can’t wait to go on this tour on our next visit to Amsterdam!

a little chaotic but excellent value for money - Amsterdam by night seen from the canals is a must if you're in town, and this cocktail cruise does the trick while providing astonishingly good cocktails and plenty of snacks. Don't be thrown by the total chaos at the boarding pier, the staff is super friendly and very helpful. Our waiter on the boat provided some interesting tidbids about the sights and quite a bit more free food and drinks than were included in our tickets. I would definitely recommend this experience.

Enjoyable evening cruising! - My friend and I really enjoyed our evening. We did the cocktail cruise *please note there is also a cheese and wine option as well. We had snacks and several cocktails which were yummy. The driver shared some history and facts as we cruised on the water. It's not the best for taking photo's as its so dark if you are doing it as more as a sight seeing trip, I would do a day cruise. The only odd thing was the boat wasn't full yet they had us sitting with another couple, so we just asked to move to another table that was free so we could have a window seat, which worked out fine. Just make sure you choose carefully as you can't swap from cocktail to wine due to numbers. Enjoyable evening, just make sure you pack a jacket as if people open their windows it gets cold. Otherwise the boat is covered and warm.

Evening Cruise and cocktails - We booked this last minute via Trip Advisor, and so glad we did. The tour started at 8.30pm. It was either to find and on arrival the staffs were very welcoming and friendly. The tour last 1 1/2 - 2hrs. We thought it was a lovely start to our weekend, being shown around a lot of the main attractions and explanations of the places we were passing.
We were offered two glasses of wine, two cocktails and nibbles. You certainly wont fill up on the nibbles, but it was a lovely touch.
As the tour went on and it started getting darker it just became more of a beautiful view, with the canal & buildings lit up and the calming waters. My husband and I were glad we opted for the evening tour, and would recommend as a must when coming to Amsterdam. You feel you have seen a lot with the tour. Great for the price and would be suitable for couples or families.

A merry cruise - Myself and my partner had done this cocktail cruise before a few years ago and we were back in Amsterdam in August 2017 with his sister and her partner and we booked to do the cocktail cruise again as we enjoyed it last time. I have to say this time round it was even better they kept the drinks flowing, the atmosphere was fantastic and it was nice going round seeing the sights. There were a few snacks and drinks were a couple of cocktails and then plenty of wine. The staff were great too. We had a lot of fun and left the boat quite merry.

Evening cruise - We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I thought that it would be dark but the sun only goes down much later than when we did the cruise. Cocktails were excellent and the snacks were toast with various dips as well as crisps. The wine was flowing and the atmosphere excellent. Definitely not something to do by yourself though

Nice informative tour/Lots of wine - Went on this tour during our last few days in Amsterdam. It was interesting. Got to see a lot of the area we didn't see before by walking. The hosts were informative and they kept the wine pouring. We also stopped at a pizza parlor and were serviced individual pizza's. Very enjoyable.

DO NOT BOOK! NO TOUR NARRATION, just boat and drinks - DO NOT BOOK!
We booked this tour almost a month in advanced based on the reviews and traveled August 6th, 2018. We expected a guided tour with at least some narration pointing out the sites.
We were a party of 4 and were seated next to the toilet with an obstructed view and no ventilation. All other seats were taken -- although several with just 2 people.
There was no narration at all -- the boat just went around for 90 minutes and then docked.
The wine was flowing but not all of the cocktails on the menu were available because of a "problem with the kitchen." The whole made snacks were pieces of toast with dip.
We were VERY DISAPPOINTED AND FRUSTRATED.
