I think this experience was really good value for money, the tour guide was really lovely and we learnt new things about Amsterdam! The tour itself was so lovely at night as all the bridges were lit up, considering we went during such a cold time and snow the boat was surprisingly warm and I sat without a jumper for a portion of the ride. The food was also nice, i wished we could have changed our meal type as I liked the sound of the vegetarian meal however the meal was still nice. I thought the dessert being tiramisu would look like tiramisu however it was more like a pudding/cream dessert. Other than this everything was 10/10, the music, the staff and the experience was great!

The food was simply amazing. We had the fish menu and everything highly exceeded expectations. Would definitely recommend to anyone and may do again just for the meal!

We had a lovely evening on the Lovers Dinner Cruise in Amsterdam. The atmosphere on board was relaxed and intimate, with softly lit tables and large windows giving perfect views of the canals at night. The route itself is beautiful — gliding past the iconic canal houses, bridges, and historic landmarks really adds a special charm to the evening. The 4-course dinner was well-paced and nicely presented. While the food isn’t quite fine dining, it was tasty and satisfying — a good mix of Dutch and European-style dishes. The staff were friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the cruise. If you're after in-depth commentary or a guided experience, this cruise keeps it light, focusing more on the dining and ambience rather than sightseeing information. Overall, it’s a relaxing way to enjoy Amsterdam’s canals by night, perfect for couples or small groups wanting a special evening. A solid option for a memorable dinner on the water.

Very enjoyable meal on board the canal boat as we wound our way through the network of Amsterdam's waterways. The ladies serving the food were excellent (there were only three parties on board on a cold January evening) so service was attentive and the Captain was a hoot (yees, Ladies and Gentlement). My wife and adult son & his wife enjoyed it very much. Conveniently located to the Central Station and our hotel.

The boat was very nicely made up for dinner and was not very crowded so we had a table to ourselves. The food was much better than I expected and we never ran out of wine! Captain Dave and crew were wonderful. The commentary was perfect - enough to get some nuggets of information but not so much that we couldn't have a dinner conversation with each other.

Please have adults only options. I do not mind paying more to ensure there are no screaming children on my ride. Tour guide did his best to speak over the screams.

Everything about this experience was good from checking in to leaving the boat. We enjoyed the commentary and learned about the canals and some of the buildings alongside them. The food was excellent and beautifully cooked. We had expexcted to pay for wine separately, so to find it was included (and not limited) was a great surprise!
