Our Best experience in Amsterdam.

Absolutely fantastic boat ride. Worth every penny to see this beautiful city from the water! We booked a 2 hour private boat ride and we’re so happy with the easy online booking, the communication and the promptness and professionalism of this small company.

Very special

My husband and I booked a private tour at last minute to see the light festival on Carl’s beautiful boat. We had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed Carl’s commentary on the works of art and immediately felt relaxed and at ease thanks to his friendly and warm personality. The boat is very special - a real beauty oozing with charm and history. We enjoyed a bottle of champagne and cuddled up whilst Carl chatted and laughed with us on our trip. We are looking forward to bringing our friends and family on the boat in the summer later this year. Thank you for a lovely time.

Lovely experience

We booked the Amsterdam light festival trip and enjoyed ourselves greatly. Carl educated us both in Dutch and English what we saw and the meaning behind the artwork. There were lovely drinks on board. Good cushions to sit on and

Wonderful tour of the Amsterdam Light Festival with friendly, knowledgeable guide

We had a ninety minute tour of the Amsterdam Light Festival with drinks included and had the best time. It was a small corporate event with colleagues visiting from across Europe and Carl was not only extremely knowledgeable on the light festival but was a superb tour guide of the city itself. There was a nice selection of beer, wine and sodas and Carl was extremely personable and very easy to coordinate with. I would highly recommend this tour if you are interested in an event with a more personal touch.

A great activity!

This was a wonderful way to get to know more about Amsterdam and an amazing way to see the light festival. The boat was comfortable and cozy, even as it rained outside. I'd highly recommend.

Recommend this cruise

4 of us went on this private tour. Much more personal than the larger cruises and we were able to depart / return to a much quieter part of the waterfront. Lovely electric boat without any of the fumes or noise of some of the alternative cruises.
