What a great way to spend an evening. The cruise was very pleasant and the territory it covered was wonderful to see.

We thoroughly enjoyed this. It was my partner's and my first night in Amsterdam, and the weather was perfect. There was a really great atmosphere on the boat, and there was plenty of wine and snacks. The commentary was great - not too much, but still pointing out all of the appropriate sights. This was a great way to see such a beautiful city, helped by the gorgeous sunset that night. It's ideal for couples and friends. I would absolutely recommend this tour.

The humor and stories offered by the boat driver and the tour guide were fun and lighthearted. I was surprised to see the emphasis was on a romantic time for couples. I had gone with my Mom just to relax, and until a family with a Mom and her two kids got on board, I was uncomfortable being on board with young couples out for a romantic evening!

I really enjoyed the trip. I took my two teenage children. They also had a good time. The captain of the boat and the tour guide were very friendly and helpful. The cheese and wine was not great, but okay. My only complaint is since I don't drink much, the boat ran out of some of the non-alcoholic soft drinks other must have been using also. But for those that did drink, there was plenty to drink. Most everyone there were couples, but we still had a very good time.

I took this tour the first night and really enjoyed the view and the information about the many historical buildings that are only viewable from the canals.

We had a great time. Definitely worth the money! The cruise was easy to get to, right in the center of Amsterdam and the canals were beautiful at night. There was plenty of wine and snacks to last the two hours. The tour guide was great and she didn't overload you with info, but told you the highlights of the various sites. We had a weekend in Amsterdam, so this was the perfect way to see many of the major sites. I'd definitely recommend it!

This was a nice way for us to relax and see Amsterdam from its many canals. There was unlimited wine and cheese, and I can say we went through two bottles.

It is definitely worth doing; you get to see everything via the canal system. The candlelight, cheese and wine part was adequate, not great, but priced appropriately for what you received.

It was a fantastic experience cruising at night through Amsterdam. The guide was wonderful. We really enjoyed the cruise.

Very nice and relaxing. The two guys doing the commentary were very entertaining. The tables are for four people, so don't expect a romantic twosome, and you may have to try to converse with someone who doesn't speak your language. Overall, it was very good.

Fantastic guide, very funny, not too chatty like some so we were able to enjoy our evening without the constant talking. Great value for money.
