The tour itself was fine, nothing too special or memorable and it was just a guided tour where u look out of the window and listen to a headset. There was an extremely rude middle aged lady (dark hair... See more

The boat is comfortable, the tour was ok, but after 20 mins the windows started to get foggy and the experience changes a lot. Visibility soon decreased and it made it boring. Also, the audio guide... See more

Not organised at all

Not organised at all! Booked for 6:15pm and the boat didn’t arrive until after 6:30pm so it clashed with the other booking. So they let anyone get on and made us wait again! After making us wait for over 2 hours we left. Emailed them 3 days ago asking for a refund and still haven’t received a reply. Terrible service!

Very misleading.

Very misleading that you book a departure time but it’s really just a lineup time. After an hour we couldn’t wait any longer and left. Terrible experience, very unhelpful staff, treated us like idiot tourists who were disturbing them.

Reserved and paid tickets for an evening trip. When we got there, there were long queus waiting for their boat. After waiting for almost an hour and havent moved a single step we decided to go away. Very bad planning and service. Pick another boat company.

Expectations Hurt

Was Expecting a really vibrant light show, but instead got 2-3 arts. Audio guide was not helpful. And the price that was charged for this was completely rubbish. More like a scam. Only bother going if you have lots of money to waste or you like boat rides. Pathetic experience.

Better spend your time elsewhere

The Amsterdam Light Festival cruise does not worth what it costs. You can't see well, the comments are boring, and it was badly organised (no separate queues according to your boarding hour).

Disappointing Amsterdam Light festival tour

Went on the Amsterdam Light festival tour. The hop on hop off boat is not suitable at all. Sitting backwards far from the window makes it hard to look outside. Additionally, the audio guide was not running in sync with where we were.

The worst organization in Amsterdam

The organization was totally unhelping and the crowds were uncontrolled. They told us we were too early, we went later and we entered the boat 40 minutes later. The windows of the boat were blurred and the description of the audio guide sounded like the guy who did it was smoking marihuana.
Horrible, it is better to waste your time looking at a loaf of bread

Issue with booking and cost

Issues: Had to come next day despite booking on 25 Dec due to no vacancy. No waiting area and relatively high priced
Good thing: Boat is clean and on time.

Seats very small

Seats very small, extremely warm in boat, dirty toilet, staff at entrance aren’t the kindest or most helpful.
The driver did its work grand. City is beautiful. But wouldn’t recommend this company.
