-Open sloop during the Amsterdam Light Festival, beautiful! -Friendly staff - Nicely dressed boat Nice drinks.
It was super fun. And the staff was very friendly too. I really recommend this tour to other friends. It's worth repeating.
We had a wonderful evening on the water thanks to our captain Dirk. We sailed past the artworks of the Amsterdam Light Festival, heard a concise but interesting background and chatted about the rest of the city. We felt very welcome, and the gluhwein was nice and warm. In this way highly recommended.
Friendly host that Dirk! He knows a lot about Amsterdam, its architecture and history. I would definitely do such a tour more often.
Overall the tour was okay. The information came from a speaker and not a real person, so there was no interaction betweeen the captain the guests. We could for example not ask questions. The drinks were not unlimited, we only got 1 small cup and then it was empty.
Super skipper Marije!!!! sailed us past beautiful artwork. What a nice trip. We enjoyed the open sloop so we saw everything well.
Loved the magical Amsterdam Light tour with captain Anwar who told us everything about the lights and story’s about Amsterdam✨
Disappointed in the Light Festival Canal tour. The light displayed were not holiday oriented and very spread out. When we got to the location we were told to get on a specific boat. It was not fully enclosed as the picture shows. There ended up only being 3 of us on the boat. It appeared KIN had other boats,with more people, so not sure why we were put on this one. I will say our Captain/Tour Guide was very knowledgeable and did a good job.
Just did the Amsterdam light festival cruise with Kinboat! Was quite a cozy experience in the covered boat! They have mulled wine and thee on board as well as blankets!
Canal Tour with Skipper Luuc – A Must-Do in Amsterdam! Cruising through Amsterdam’s iconic waterways with Skipper Luuc was an absolute highlight of the trip. His warm and friendly nature immediately set the tone for a relaxed and engaging experience. As a bilingual guide, seamlessly switching between English and Dutch, Luuc made sure everyone felt included and connected—whether a local or a visitor. 🛶 The tour was not just a scenic ride but a vibrant, interactive journey filled with fun insights, local anecdotes,…. Luuc’s passion for the city shines through in every story he shares, adding depth and charm to the already breathtaking views on the canals. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an authentic and memorable canal tour. Would definitely hop aboard again! 🙌
