It was a lot of fun even though it rained and stormed. The guide was funny and the other passengers were very sociable. The wine was good--the cheese was so-so.

It was difficult to see things at night, but romantic and it made the girlfriend happy.

The tour guide was good value, Amsterdam on the canal lit up at night was amazing and the widely available cheese and wine completed the night. Also we enjoyed the bonus walk through the red light district!

Cruise company had no knowledge of our reservation. Upon calling the tour operator, it was found and luckily we were able to board. Service was good, and there was plenty of wine, water, cheese and salty snacks. Trip was informative and picturesque. The walk through the red light district was an eye-opener.

Nice cruise with friendly guide. The walk to the red light district is the highlight - the 'strong' drink they offer you is just vodka though, so don't be too intimidated!

Wonderful trip, but unfortunately some American couples couldn't handle the effects of alcohol, and the last hour seemed more like time spent at a football match. I would have hoped that the captain or guide had said or done something about that.

Loved the cruise. Wine and cheese were good, and the crew was great. The only downside was a few loud customers that smoked. After the captain talked to them, things got better.

It was really good. The host spoke English really well and had a good sense of humor. There were two ordinary types of cheeses but both the cheese and wine kept coming. If I was to do it again I would bring some of my own crackers and olives to break up the cheese a bit, you can only eat so much cheese without crackers or anything! Definitely worth doing though.

Good canal cruise in the evening with an excellent narrative. The cruise played American pop music along the way and it would have been more appropriate to play Dutch or European music since this cruise took place in Amsterdam. Great views and unlimited wine and cheese. There is another tour available locally without the wine and cheese.

The views were great, the narration excellent and the bottle of red and white wine most enjoyable. We could have had more if we wanted it. Most passengers were two to a table with window views. Only disappointing minor issue was that the cheese was a poor advert for Dutch cheeses.
