About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- J8625MHsamd0 contributionsGood tour!It was very fun and the tour guy had very fun facts! The snacks were also good and there was a good amount of different drinks to choose fromWritten 12 January 2025
- D283FHians0 contributionsAvoid this at all costsWhere to start? We arrived at the requested time to find a dimly lit walkway and no boat. Two other similarly uncertain passengers arrived shortly after us. The “fun boat” arrived 10 minutes later, a tiny runaround with a plastic covered roof. Getting onto the boat from the walkway was hazardous with no real support. The roof of the boat leaked, and the only open window was at the front which we had to keep clear for the captain to see. There were no real seats, only benches around the side with plastic cushions that slipped around. The catering involved helping yourself to a cool box with several wine bottles most of which were already open (but for how long who knows?). There was no service as such. The hot snacks were just OK, again help yourself from a plastic dish on top of the cool box. We had to use the lights on our phones to find the drinks and snacks as the lights in the boat didn’t work which also contributed to the sense of hazard getting in and out of the boat. The boat hit one of the bridges at one point and the commentary didn’t mention the light features until we were right on top of them so no real opportunity to prepare to try to take photos through the plastic sides or by crawling forwards to the one open window. In short a terrible experience and we were surprised to find a shonky trip such as this promoted by Viator / TripAdvisor. This is definitely not up to the standard we expect and have become used to.Written 8 January 2025
- TimothyS14390 contributionsLight/Design and personal Route-CanalThis was the masterpiece of our daytrip to Amsterdam. The Skipper and tourguide of this were such lovely amazing people. They gave wonderful insights to all the pieces of the lightdesign sculptures through the town. Highly recommend their tour. Best part of our trip! :)Written 3 January 2025
- Paygon0 contributionsWas no cruise, scammed.This cruise was not at pick up point. Arrived 20:00, found pick up point on the email around 20:10/20:15 waited and nothing. Be careful when booking. Went to alternative ‘blueboat’ having to pay for alternative company as they have never heard of this cruise.Written 2 January 2025

- lucaspL2769WO0 contributionsNot worth the priceThe hostesses on the boat were very nice, but honestly, for the price, there’s nothing extraordinary. The light displays were underwhelming, and the unlimited drinks and snacks were pretty standard. It was also very cold, it’s like you are outside For us, it wasn’t worth the €37.50 per person.Written 13 December 2024
