Amsterdam Canals Candlelight Cruise

Amsterdam, Netherlands

What could be more romantic than a candlelit cruise along the twinkling canals of Amsterdam? It's the perfect start to an evening of wine and food in Amsterdam, the city of diamonds and romance!

Relaxing in glass-enclosed comfort, you'll savor unlimited wine with cheese and nibbles as soft music plays amid the candlelight. Take a stop along the river for a short stroll of the city and the infamous red light district then its back onboard to sit back and watch the beautiful city of Amsterdam float gently past as you glide under bridges on this tranquil canal cruise.

Most enjoyable aspect of our trip to Amsterdam. The wine and snacks were plentiful and the staff knowledgeable and entertaining. It's a beautiful city at night.

Review by: JO	March 2012
Wonderful cruise, really enjoyed the sights, being on the water was a lovely way to see Amstersdam. And the added extra of the cheese and wine! would recommend this trip really worth the money

We had a great time! Dimmed lights, good wine, and great service! And actually very romantic, it exceeded our expectations. We'd do it again anytime!

We absolutely loved this trip, it was one of the highlights our our holiday. The boat was lovely, the staff very pleasant and they were very generous with the wine and cheese! Top marks from us!

Review by: SERAFINA G	January 2012
The air was crisp and the sky clear... a perfect evening to cruise Amsterdam's canals! We had a great time and saw the city from a nautical perspective. Our guide both on board and on foot was entertaining and knowledgeable; we loved his sock guide too!

Review by: Andrew R	January 2012
We didn't attend this due to the weather. Giving five stars because less would be wrong.

Review by: Wendy H	January 2012
This was a brilliant way to start our first trip to Amsterdam. The Captain and the Guide were excellent. It was entertaining and informative.

Review by: HELEN MAY C	December 2011
Great trip - throughly enjoyed it. Funny and interesting guide, nice wine and cheese - our canal boat looked lovely in candle light. A perfect end to mine and my partners holiday!

Review by: chris r	December 2011
Really enjoyed trip, plenty to look at and plenty of wine and cheeses. Host was very pleasant.

Review by: marika d	December 2011
trip great, directions to get to the right cruise line a little confusing but we found them in the end.

Review by: Bianca D	November 2011
The cruise was wonderful! The tour was great and I got to see a lot of the city we had not seen on our own. We were one of only 3 couples which made it very intimate but a little awkward with the size of the boat. Cheese and wine was delicious, I would recommend maybe some crackers or light hors d'oeuvres. Overall it was great and my boyfriend and I enjoyed it greatly!

Review by: D. BURC S	November 2011
I would say all was perfect if the lady at the ticket booth knew that guests can join the tour via an electronic voucher. She insisted on that she could not accept us if we did not get a print out of the voucher! After waiting out of the line for 20 minutes and discussing the issue, finally we got the permission to board the boat. We were pretty lucky to be able to get the last seats by the window. Aside from this issue, it was a romantic and beautiful trip through the canals of Amsterdam. There were plenty of cheese, wine and fruit juice for everyone. Thanks to the guide and the captain, we headed home with great memories after the tour.

Great tour, lovely wine and cheese. 2 of us and had a bottle of red wine each - no shortage there! Halfway through you disembark for a short walk through red light district. Breaks it up. Quality!

Review by: Patricia w	November 2011
good value except if 4 people had been on out table the cheese allowance was meagre 2 very small pieces each, the wine was fine plenty for 2 we were offered more wine but the cheese could have been better we hadn't eaten beforehand so were a bit peckish. The guide was very informative and amusing, red light district walk was interesting!

Well presented

Review by: Margaret B	November 2011
Unfortunately, we were totally exhausted and it was an awful night so we did not do this tour this time. However, we have done it before and really loved it. Would recommend it as a way to enjoy the canals of Amsterdam at night which is really pretty.

Awesome!

Romantic and beautiful tour. Highly recommend it.

Review by: Juraj U	October 2011
Quite entertaining guide and a pleasant boat trip around the Amsterdam canals.

Review by: cormac k	October 2011
This was an excellent experience and a fun and relaxing way to see the city.

Review by: Danielle V, United States of America	July 2010
This was REALLY fun! Be ready to drink lots of wine and eat lots of cheese. It was a fun thing to do on our honeymoon but there was also a big group of people on the boat who were all partying together and we all had a great time!

Review by: Delbert B, United States of America	July 2010
We had a very entertaining guide and, as promised, all the wine we could drink. The walking tour through the red light district was offered for everyone, but some chose to stay aboard the canal boat. I took the walk. The entire evening was first rate!

Review by: Pat Z, Australia	June 2010
Perfect for couples in need of some romance. Very well organised. It included red and white wine with diffferent cheses and nuts. Also a guided tour trough the Red Light District and a tipicol liquer at the end of the cruise in the pub. The itinerary was amazing and the guide was just excellent.

Review by: B. D, United States of America	June 2010
My wife and I took this tour on our last night in Amsterdam. We enjoyed it very much and highly recommend the tour to anyone visiting the city. I was afraid that it would touristy and gimmicky, but that was not the case. It is a great way to see the city and it's architecture without having to watch out for all of the bikes. The trip lasted much longer than the 2 hours specified, and our guides were great.

Review by: Eric T, Canada	May 2010
Really nice cruise but need to be later cause it was bright outside and it's suppose to be a Candlelight cruise, but everything was great.

Review by: Anonymous, United Kingdom	May 2010
Most enjoyable

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	April 2010
Highly Recommended

Review by: Ron L, United States of America	April 2010
We are so glad we took this cruise. With only about twenty hours in Amsterdam it was the perfect way to get a look at the city. The guided walk through the Red Light District was a great way to see that area. Our guide was informative and friendly. All in all a wonderful evening.

Review by: Brian D H, United States of America	April 2010
Very nice way to see the city with a guided narrative of what we were seeing. Plenty of wine, snack portions were small though considering the wine available. We did this first and it changed what we planned to see the next day on the Hop-On Hop-Off tour.

Review by: Richard K, United Kingdom	March 2010
We highly recommend this trip. We went on the first night of the visit to Amsterdam and it really was a fantastic start to a great holiday. Adam was our guide and he was excellent. He spoke in four different languages and was a brilliant host. Everyone on the trip had a booth to themselves even though they are made for four. This may not be the case in high season. The wine and cheese was plentiful and Adam announced that he had more wine or cheese if you needed it. It was my wifes Birthday and our Wedding Anniversary and everyone joined in to sing Happy Birthday. The Captain was very professional and was very friendly. The stop at the red light district was very good and allowed us a chance to talk to the other guests. Adam took us to a bar and got everyone a local shot called Geneva before we headed back to the boat. If I had a small criticism it was only minor. The directions to the boat are not very clear on the email and the tourist information centre was closed so we had to ask people in the street for directions.

My wife and I had a great time with this company. Great value for money. Our guide even took us for a walk into the red light district, included in the price.

Review by: Ann P, United States of America	March 2010
This was definitely the most romantic way to enjoy Amsterdam! Although my kids were with us, they had a separate table, which was nice. They are not kidding when they say unlimited wine and cheese they also had somewhat of an oriental nut mix to offer, I would have probably preferred crackers, which we brought and they didn't seem to mind as long as we were discreet in putting them on the table. Our hostess was phenomenal and made it a great memory. We had so much fun and the walk in the Red Light District was fun too! The free drink was small but nice. Although there are cheaper cruises, I think it was a really great value! Must do.

Review by: Angeline M, United Kingdom	February 2010
This was a really nice little cruise - the captain and the lady giving the commentary were really friendly and funny - there was plenty of wine and nibbles and the commentary was really interesting.

Review by: Carl E, United Kingdom	February 2010
Brilliant tour of the city via the canals, really enjoyed.

Review by: Anonymous, United Kingdom	February 2010
The cruise was absolutely fantastic. Just relaxed and friendly and the guide made it a truely memorable birthday for my friend by getting everyone to sing Happy Birthday in so many languages. I would recommend this cruise to anyone - great value and a great way to spend an evening in Amsterdam.

Review by: Nicola A, United Kingdom	December 2009
Very good value for money, we enjoyed every moment of it!

Review by: Chris S, United Kingdom	December 2009
Really enjoyable cruise, plenty wine and nibbles, recommend it.

Review by: Anonymous, Jordan	November 2009
It is for the people who want to see something unusual and unavailable on their countries but be sure that you are not with your wife.

Review by: Keith C, United Kingdom	November 2009
A thoroughly enjoyable evening trip, highly recommended. There were generous portions of cheese, etc for everyone and the guide had a great sense of humour. The one downside was that nobody bothered to tell us that the cruise actually started at 8pm during winter months, rather than 8:30pm as advertised. Luckily, we had checked where the cruise left from earlier in the day-- otherwise, we would have missed the trip altogether.

Review by: Stephen R, United Kingdom	October 2009
A really enjoyable evening. Plenty of wine, amusing comentary and we even managed to fit in a tour of the Red Light district at night! Loved the Andy Williams soundtrack!
