“Interesting ride across the canals, it was a pleasant and comfortable experience. The atmosphere was lovely, the beverage options were great and it is friendly for all ages.”
Climb Groningen’s 97 m Martinitower with a cinema stop, bell-ringing, and big views over the Grote Markt. 1 hour, $7.
“It was fun, the way up is pretty narrow, but well worth it! We went on a stormy day in winter, the view might have been slightly more turbid than usual, but I still thought it was well worth the cost and effort.”
Float on Groningen’s first terrace boat with a bar, flexible cabriolet roof, winter heating, and a cozy 1 to 1.5 hour drink cruise.
“Absolut unterirdisch. Das Boot kam 30 min zu spät, keine Message, Anbieter nicht erreichbar. Die Fahrt von 1.5h wurde auf weniger als 60 min verkürzt, damit die nächste Gruppe rechtzeitig abfahren konnte. Absolut nicht empfehlenswert.”
See Groningen’s canals from an open boat, learn the city’s story from an English guide, and enjoy unlimited drinks for 1 hour.
“Very pleasant tour of the city, viewed from the water level! You have to duck below a couple of low bridges, quite an excitement! I highly recommend this tour, but preferably when it's not raining. During the tour you can enjoy drinks, all included in the price.”

A small-group perfumery workshop in Groningen with hands-on ingredient smelling, accord lessons, and a collaborative 10ml bottle to take home.
“Ananias Potamitis spoke with great passion about scents, guiding us through the experience and art of creating perfume. He took his time and let us do a lot ourselves. He was well-prepared. There was absolutely no commercial sales talk like “buy this or that from me.” In fact, his own handmade perfume isn’t even for sale yet (a pity — I would have gladly bought some from him).”
