We were actually to late because of a double booking of the hotel we were staying. So, we had to look for another hotel and lost a lot of time. At 21.01 the skipper called us, asking where we were. We ended up being late for 13 min and they waited for us. The festival of lights had amazing pieces of art, some were questionable. Overall we had a good time and friendly service.

A great tour! The installations were beautiful and the guide was friendly and knowledgeable. I'm not giving 5 stars because, as a solo participant, I would have appreciated a different seating arrangement to make socializing easier. I didn’t really have a chance to talk to anyone since I was at a table by myself at the very front, with everyone else behind me. Everything else was perfect.

It was a great experience we could have on the boat ride. All persons who guided us and did the service were wonderful. The boat was lovely as with a lot of charm. We felt very familiar and worm. We got to know a lot of informations on Amsterdam and the Light Festival Show. Book the ride and have a magical experience! We will come back with love! Iris and Jochen from Austria!
