  Canal trip was good, light festive is not very few. Boat was full. Boat captain and guid were knowledgeable. Day trip would give you better idea about canal.

• Wet cold

  I was so disappointed with this canal cruise 75€ for two with unlimited snacks and drinks. Although there was unlimited wine and cans of Heineken and Pepsi it was awkward trying to ask as the guy that was talking us through the entire lights experience had to be interrupted if you wanted a drink so most people didn’t bother there wasn’t someone there to make sure people had drinks and for the snacks it was a handful of dry mixed crackers. The seats were wet so when we got off the boat in freezing cold weather we were soaked through our pants. Although the skippers were lovely and great guides it was far from a luxury boat trip I would not book this again unfortunately I made the mistake of booking before I got to Amsterdam I would advise going down and having a look at all the boats before choosing which one because there are some luxury ones and you can book there and then.

• Not worth the time or money. If you do, insist on a boat with an all glass roof so you can see outside.

  Unfortunately there weren’t many memorable moments. The onboard team was friendly and very attentive. There was a steady flow of drinks. There were many silent moments in between the location of the art installations. It was difficult to see some of the installations especially the hanging ones as there were no windows on the top of the boat. The regular canal cruise was so much better and so much more informative. Even in similar weather and in the evening we could see outside. Very disappointed. Tour company really appears to have been too greedy with this one with wrong choice of boat. The onboard team unfortunately wasn’t able to make up for the experience either. Too much quiet time and no energy onboard. You’re better off taking a regular night canal cruise and walking the streets to see the installations by yourself. You will certainly have much better views and not waste your money.

  The tour guide was very informative and the drinks and all was fun but the boat itself was very bad. The place was so cramped up and the seats were opposite to windows, so instead of seeing outside we are seeing other people drinking 😕

  Big disappointment. We went early in the day to find where to board for the evening cruise. It is just an empty dock with no signs or boats. At night these tubs show up. Plastic covers you can’t see out of, but some plastic windows are rolled up to let the freezing air come in. No heat. A hole in the top for the captain to stick his head out to see. This is a sub standard boat. We see all the nice boats go by with proper seating and glass windows, heat, and bathroom. The guide had no microphone and when you could hear him, you couldn’t understand his English. Book from a legitimate canal cruise company. This was a waste of time and money.
