Amazing experience!! - I can highly recommend this tour. It's truly magical to see the lights light up around Amsterdam's cannals. The boat is very pretty and modern and it offers a very direct experience since you feel very in touch with your surroundings. All of this is complemented by the insight and friendliness provided by captain Kathie. She was very kind, friendly, knowledgeable, skillful and took us through very beautiful spots around Amsterdam. We could experience it a bit more from the local perspective. I would definitely book again

Great time - This was a great tour. The small group made it more relaxing. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and fun. He was prepared with blankets and drinks for purchase. You could also bring your own. We did late in the evening so got to see 7 bridges all lit up. Great time.

Beautiful way to see Amsterdam - A beautiful evening. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and friendly and gave us some many interesting tidbits about the city. She clearly loves what she does. Being able to see the city from the river was so relaxing and joyful and at night you could peer inside all the lit rooms and see the old architecture on full display. She also had wine, beer and soda on board even though the tix purchases site says that's not available. It was lovely.
