Your host, Danielle the student from Germany, was amazing! Absolute pro, and very, very entertaining. I loved it! Nighttime canal rides with endless mulled wine are the way to go in Dam. The perfect end to a perfect day.

It turned out that we were in an extra hired salon boat: smaller and very atmospheric! Only the chaos before departure with several large groups was a bit less.

Best view of Amsterdam is from the canals - our guide was incredible with a great knowledge about the history of Amsterdam as well as the light festival. Loved it from start to finish and would highly recommend as a fun activity whether you're just visiting Amsterdam or have been there all your life.

The guides, the schedule and the drinks were great. We were only disappointed by the small number of light sculptures.

Starting your light festival cruise

The Amsterdam Light Festival is an annual event that transforms the city into a bright and colorful spectacle during the winter months. Artists, designers, and architects from all over the world contribute their light installations and artworks, which are displayed along the canals and streets of Amsterdam. The festival typically features a different theme each year, and this year's theme is 'Rituals'.

Cruising through illuminated canals

Begin your 75-min river cruise on a salon boat or a covered one as per the option you select. Once you're on the water, the real magic begins. The cruise takes you past amazing light art – 27 pieces paying homage to the journey and rituals of life, lighting up the night.
