Atmospheric tour in the dark

I've booked the tour in advance via Getyourguide,because it was selling out rapidly.For a reason,as it is very atmospheric although it was freezing cold.But blankets and hot chocolate,with the special shot for those who want some extra warmth,did a very good job.The Captain was Pascal and the tour guide was Valentina,who both did an even better job. We had a good banter and Valentina ist really knowledgeable about the Light Artwork and their creators,which made the tour worthwhile. I definately recommend the tour despite the cold temperatures.

Angieeeeee und Rick

We were so lucky with our crew. Rick was a nice capitain with lots of knowledge of the city. Angela,our hostess was very good with photos, drinks,history and anedocts. Her humor is from out of this world. For rhe bosses, give her a raise.

What a lovely night…

…..it was. While some the Light Festivals installations were beautiful—-particularly fire on the water and the brilliant unfurling blossom street lights—-it was the lights from the windows of the lovely, lovely old houses in the narrow parts of the canals that was the most wonderful. The staff were kind, helpful and immensely patient with the more tedious among us.

Would highly recommend!

I thoroughly enjoyed this experience! It was a great way to see Amsterdam and the light festival in a cosy and relaxed atmosphere. Pascal and Valen were great hosts and made us feel very welcome. The hot chocolate and blankets were a nice touch too!

Tremenda experiencia!!

Our group loved the tour and the hospitality of Valentina and Bass. They made the experience very interactive and fun. They know their stuff and know how to explain in a fun way. I highly recommend this experience! The crew from Puerto Rico
