The tour was really lovely, the tour guide was very nice and gave us lots of tips and information about Amsterdam, what food places to go to as well. There was so much alcohol on the boat and also soft drinks. It was a really lovely experience for our first night in Amsterdam. Would 100% recommend.

The Captain and host were very friendly and kind. The information was very interesting but they also made it fun. We had a wonderful time and would strongly recommend this trip. I am a wheelchair user and access to the boat from the Red Light District was easy and everyone very helpful.
