Light Festival Tour of Amsterdam

Eleanor_M, Dec 2024

Sebi our captain was wonderful, his small boat was nice, roomy and clean, the plastic blinds rolled up to give us direct view of the artworks and if it got too windy we just rolled them back down without blocking the view, there was a full array of drinks and an assortment of appetizers to partake. Sebi was very knowledgeable and I highly recommend taking his tour.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Dear Eleanor, Thank you for taking the time to write this beautiful review, thank you very much! Very happy to see that our unique boat, our local snacks and drinks and our more personal approach was such a succes! We do hope to welcome you back on board for another beautiful tour of Amsterdam

Couldn’t be better

John_G, Dec 2024

This is a small (6) group tour. We were welcomed by Sebi into his warm, comfortable, and charming boat. What a knowledgable guide! Wine, cheese, fruit, local beer, water, sodas, and sweets were provided to enjoy while absorbing the beautiful lights and history of the canal’s. All of this while chatting with excellent company. It was a perfect introduction to an amazing city.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Dear John, Great review and couldn't have described it better! So happy to see you fully enjoyed our local snacks and drinks , the other company on board and of course our beloved city! Hope to see you back on board soon again!

Small and intimate

Myra R, Dec 2019

We took this canal cruise on a crisp Friday evening with our friends. Sebi welcomed the four of us aboard, pointed all the important things on board and began the cruise by offering us a welcome drink. Drinks were readily available during the cruise as well as snacks and sweets. He stopped at a dockside cafe along the route to get us a plate of hot appetizers. Sebi was so knowledgeable in his commentary, not only about Amsterdam’s history and the canals, but offered lots of information about the light installations as we passed them. It was a spectacular show and a truly wonderful evening and cruise.

Response from Host, Dec 2019

Dear Myra, thank you very much for your great review! We couldn't be happier to hear that our experience from the very start up to the end of the tour was all you hoped for! It makes us really proud that all our efforts of providing nice local products, sharing our knowledge of our beautiful city and especially making sure you are having a great time with us aboard are being so much appreciated! We wish you a nice year end and a very prosperous 2020!
