Cozy art viewing with Dirk

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.

Great!

Friendly host that Dirk! He knows a lot about Amsterdam, its architecture and history. I would definitely do such a tour more often.

Was not worth it.

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.
