This was a really great experience! The boat is super cute - we went during sunset so the wooden interior was so cozy. The pancakes were yummy and a variety of toppings available. Would do this again!

Amazing staff! So interactive and I’m so glad I picked the one with cheese and wine. It was nice to see Amsterdam while cruising in the canals and listening about the city’s facts and histories....
