Light Festival Tour of Amsterdam - 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.

Best tour boast in dam - We booked this boat which was abit dearer than the million other boats in dam but well worth the money. We meat the captain and other passengers at meeting point. The amount of drink and selection from mulled wine and wines to beers and juice was great. There was delish snacks too. The tour was great your taken down the light festival and given so much history from the fantastic captain. My only critique would be for thoughs sitting outside there should be a speaker so they can also hear all the amazing history and also blankets too as it was very cold. But add that and it would be the best. However this never wrecked my experience as my friends who sat inside were able to fill me in, outside was just so beautiful so to have both the history being told while outside would be amazing. Highly recommend and will do again.

Great way to see Amsterdam! - We had a blast on this tour. The buildings were gorgeous. Sebi was so knowledgeable about the area and super friendly. And the mulled wine and snacks were delicious.

Couldn’t be better - 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.

Small and intimate - 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.

Everything we could ask for in a tour - Sebi provided a most pleasurable evening with his knowledge of both the city and the light festival.
Excellent refreshments.....he even stopped to pick up some delicious freshly made appetizers.
The boat was luxe and toasty warm but pictures could be easily taken inside or out
Thank you Sebi! I’ll be back in March!

Light festival experience by boat - Sebi is the most delightful, charming, and considerate host. I can’t say enough good things about him and his tour, and I don’t want to spoil all the pleasant surprises that he has in store for you. This tour was beyond all of my expectations, and I dare say the best tour I’ve ever participated in all of my travels. Sebi gave us knowledgeable explanations of all of the light festival exhibits along the canals. I will do another tour with Sebi in a heartbeat the next time I’m in Amsterdam. You should too!

Amazing tour!!! - Olivier and Xavier were absolutely incredible!!!! The boat was beautiful and they went above and beyond to make sure our tour was the most comfortable and enjoyable that it could be. Xavier told us all about the history of the canals and took us all over them to look at the lights. The snacks and drinks were wonderful and he even stopped halfway at a restaurant to get us authentic bitteballs. At the end, he found out where we were staying and literally took us directly to the hotel. Above and beyond doesn’t even touch how impressive this tour was. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!!!!

Fabulous! Highlight of our time in Amsterdam! - Sebi’s tour was fabulous in so many ways! First of all, Sebi was so kind, welcoming and hospitable from the moment we got onto his boat. He had drinks and snacks all nicely presented for us and even stopped along the route to get us freshly made authentic Dutch treats. He was also knowledgeable about the Amsterdam and the Light Festival and an overall great conversationalist. The boat itself was lovely, quaint and so much more warm and inviting than the large tour boats we saw. Lastly, we had the great fortune of having Sebi and his boat all to ourselves the night we went, which added to the fabulousness of it all. It was a unique and unforgettable night.

Wander through the canis on the night of Amsterdam - Another disappointment in the face of the expectations created!
Also the choice of the tour operator was not the best.
The organization, somewhat careless, the boat was not also the best option q we had, since it does not allow to see with ampleness the works of art existing in the canals. These, too, were not so attractive and spectacular.
For those who have already made the,walks during the day, the night do not dress up better options. We suggest q opt for the tours during the day.
Cost-benefit, it gets so damaged!
