5.00I had an amazing experience at the Amsterdam Light Festival on a boat tour. Our guide was Diana, and Pedro was the one driving the boat. Diana was incredibly kind and engaging. She knew exactly how to communicate with us, how to create a great atmosphere, and what to say to keep everyone interested. She also had a great sense of humor, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The experience was truly beautiful and memorable. If I were to recommend this tour to someone, I would recommend it from the bottom of my heart, especially with Diana as a guide. Diana and Pedro had great chemistry, and there were jokes and a relaxed vibe throughout the entire trip. I didn’t even feel how much time passed, it went by so fast because I felt so comfortable and happy. It was a wonderful experience overall.
great

5.00I had a very enjoyable tour with Sabrina and Badar. They were very entertaining, enthusiastic and informative and answered any questions thrown at them. I would highly recommend this tour. It was very interesting and it was great to see all the light sculptures and the meaning behind them. The boat was very comfortable and they provided blankets to keep us warm if needed.

3.00The tour guide was lovely and friendly but the overall experience not the best, compared to the other boats we saw we were abit gutted! It’s small no heating flaps don’t close to cold and boring if you’re a young couple
The best!
