    The boat trip was enjoyable, and so were the guides. When it says "snacks included," you don't just expect a packaged stroopwafel before you board.

    The beauty of Amsterdam's Festival of Lights and canals Excellent guide with very good explanations. The rating is due to the fact that it was very cold in the boat and the view was limited.
