Amsterdam Light Festival
1 hr 15 min - Amsterdam Light Festival shines a spotlight on the capital of the Netherlands – quite literally. During the dark and cozy winter months, the city lights up with breathtaking light installations. Take a canal cruise to experience this from up close. National and international artists have created 25 one-of-a-kind works of art, most of which were commissioned and produced specifically for this annual event. With the reflection of these artworks sparkling and glistening on the surface of the water, the famous canals of Amsterdam make for a perfect background for the festival.

Unexpected great experience

The tour was 75 minutes of great scenery and highlighted by the light sculpture installations that we had walked by in the day but not seen. This is a great tour. Relaxed and fun.

A wonderful experience.

We had a lovely time on this 1 hour 15 min canal cruise through the festival of lights. Attended 15 mins before and we were immediately shown to the warm boat and took a seat. The lights were lovely and information was given about every piece. The guide was lovely and very funny. Would strongly recommend

Christmas Day light tour a festive treat.

Such a great time for families or couples. The drinks keep flowing and the captain was funny and knowledgeable on the light displays and the artists that made them. A beautiful tour of the canals of Amsterdam that is good for anyone in any occasion.

Beautiful

The light festival is something I believe everyone should go and see if they're in Amsterdam around the start of December. The most memorable light sculpture for me was the "fire" one.

Sharp on time

We booked online- was best price to get. The cruise sailed exactly on time and we saw the night festival. No need for expensive dinning -the 75 mun is more than enough
