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.

Highlight of our AMS visit - Met lifelong friends in AMS, wanting to explore parts of the city we haven’t before. A friend booked the Festival of Lights tour with Sebi. Oliver met us and was very friendly. Told us about the business. Sebi pulled up with the boat and welcomed us warmly. He had a nice spread of drinks and snacks waiting on his beautiful boat. His passion for Amsterdam, the canals and his boat made the tour even better. Seeing a town thru the eyes of a local is always a treat. I would highly recommend Sebi to anyone looking to see this beautiful city from the canals. Looking forward to visiting when the weather is warmer and the colours are in full bloom.

The best way to see Amsterdam!! Sebi rocks! - This was the highlight of our trip! Sebi gave my whole family (baby included) a private boat tour during the Festival of Lights. He adds so many special (and delicious) touches that really give you an insiders/local perspective of the city. You can feel his passion for the city and it is contagious! I would highly recommend taking a boat ride with Sebi!
