It made a really good impression on my girlfriend who had never been to Amsterdam. It's great to see the city during the day but it's just as nice yet different to see it at night, all lit up, riding through the canals with a soft hum of the engine and the gentle sound of the water against the boat. The love music was good but cheesy which made us laugh and feel nostalgic which was all part of the fun. I would recommend this trip to friends. In fact I already have.

Really enjoyable trip. Very gentle and generous helpings of good quality wine and cheese and nibbles. Commentary was informative and amusing without being too intrusive and a good way of seeing the city. It highlighted a few places we decided to visit during the rest of our stay.

Our trip to Amsterdam was the first time we'd been away without the kids and this was the icing on the cake. Don't think this is just any old canal cruising boat - it's specially laid out for dining with comfy seats. Plenty of cheese, nibbles, wine and soft drinks. The guide spoke much less than on the day cruise, which was welcoming on this kind of cruise. We also went around different canals than the earlier guided tours. You may have to share a table at busy times if there are only two of you. We were lucky though - in February half term - there were only 4 'cuddling' couples on our cruise, so we had plenty of seats to ourselves. My wife thought is was very romantic of me to book it - so plenty of brownie points for me! I recommend it.

Absolutely brilliant! What a fantastic way to see Amsterdam and we've been 4 times before!. Our guide was fantastic. Couldn't have hoped for more!

Top marks. An excellent way to end the first of our three days in Amsterdam. Very relaxing, lovely atmosphere, pleasant wine entertaining commentary and just a great way to spend an evening.
