We came to Amsterdam expressly for the Festival of Lights and were disappointed by how little light there was, contrary to what we'd seen on the internet. Also, the audio guide was in French, but there was no commentary.

A beautiful warm boat. Neat Captain and a wonderful experience which we recommend to everyone. Only message came through the app when we were already home. We had the boat trip at 18h in the evening and at 20.30 came the mail so that should be faster but otherwise Chapeau!

Nice to see Amsterdam from the canals but the commentary for the Festival of Lights was not informative or entertaining. It kept referencing AI with no substance or intelligent statements regarding AI. This issue unrelated to the tour company or boat.

Boat company is great and the boat captain was a great guide. The address given by headout was not correct. It was another location for blue boat light festival trip. The right location was next to the Hard Rock Cafe
