The best way to enjoy the art of the festival is with an Amsterdam Light Festival boat tour. From the water, you have a first-class view of the light art while you relax and take it all in. The water route of the festival is designed in such a way that you can see all the artworks that are both on the canals and on the quayside.
The modern, comfortable, and heated boats from LOVERS Canal Cruises are a great way to enjoy the Amsterdam Light Festival. Along the way, the audio guide tells you more about the beautiful light installations you see along the light festival tour in Amsterdam.

Reviews
I learnt Amsterdam history. The canal, the historical buildings and of course the meaning of the lights displayed. Our tour got distracted by 3 rowdy matured ladies in front of us. We couldn’t hear the audio well because they kept laughing and talking out loud. Otherwise the lights and the cruise was a pleasant ones.
incredible experience! If you are in Amsterdam whilst this is on, you must do it. The exhibitions were unique and when you listen to the guide it makes it even better.
interesting sightseeing art & science over the Amsterdam’s Canal. Great point of views from these canals. Very beautiful side of Amsterdam
Taking a boat in winter is more difficult. The so-called lighting installation art is not satisfactory. It is just like taking a boat tour on the canal.
good if you wanna see the old Amsterdam and there history
Didn't live up to the expectations considering it was Christmas time. it starts to get boring since it's an hour long ride with no way out. Rain further spoilt it.
it's really not worth the money of the trip, not much to see this year, very disappointed.
