Thoroughly enjoyed this trip and the free wine. Lovely way to see the city. Very romantic.

Had a lovely few hours on the boat munching cheese and salami and drinking wine. My bloke and I were one of the few couples who got a table to ourselves however, and we wouldn't have enjoyed it anywhere near so much if we had been forced to sit with another couple and make polite small talk. This is a romantic candlelit cruise - don't put 4 people in a booth!

It was amazing. The wine and cheese were yummy, the ambiance was romantic. It lets you see Amsterdam - it's breathtaking.

We did the candlelight boat trip and would put it down as a 'must do' in Amsterdam. The area where the boat leaves from is just across from Central Station, so very central. The cruise was lovely, but as it only runs on the weekends it was very crowded and not exactly romantic. The price you pay with Viator is a little cheaper than buying the tickets in Amsterdam and it really is all the wine you can drink! Enjoy!

Amsterdam is beautiful at night - well worth it. We had a hard time finding the right vendor because it was not printed on the voucher. The wine was okay the cheese pretty sad. Might do the nighttime cruise without the cheese and wine.

The boat was quite nice and the trip through the canals was wonderful even though it was raining off and on. The wine and cheese were OK, but could have had a little bit more of it. All and all it was a good night.

I'm afraid the guide didn't spend a great deal of time pointing out the sites, we could have been anywhere.

Read reviews and we just had a bad guide. Hour too long in our opinion.

The boat was somewhat dirty. The floor needed sweeping and the upholstery was very soiled.

Very slow, not much narration. Should be advertised as a romantic tour.

We were expecting more of a guided tour with commentary but if you just want a pretty trip up the river it's ok.

OK wine, good cheese, OK deli meats.

Fantastic sights, nice crew, and a good boat. The cruise was a good length, and the guide was well informed, despite some technical problems. Music was unobtrusive and pleasant. However, despite stating vegetarian on my requirements list, I was given a large plate of sausages, and despite the claim to unlimited wine, there was a limit, though it was generous enough. The cheese was delicious, although a lot of ours was stale. Overall, we had a very good time at a good price, but slightly more attention to detail would have improved things, and it would have been worth paying a few Euros more for.
