Warm 75-minute Amsterdam Light Festival canal cruise with unlimited drinks and a stroopwafel, plus English stories on lit sights.

“Veerle and Plim were very nice guides. The boat was big and spacious. It was warm inside and had a toilet. The guides explained all the art installations to us and gave some bits of information on the city, too. The snacks and drinks are quite simple, but we did enjoy the mulled wine and hot chocolate. We enjoyed ourselves a lot.”

3.The Volendam Stroopwafel Experience

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 116 reviews · 1 day · from $9Best value

A guided visit at Woltjes in Volendam, with a Stroopwafel and local liqueur tasting, museum time, and a fresh waffle to take home.

“This place is hard to find and no instructions are given to help people. No parking info either. We travelled all the way from veldhoven, with plenty of time to spare and because of the poor info given we couldn’t find the right place or find parking. Class had already started by the time we found it and we weren’t allowed to join in. Needs a lot of attention before I would recommend to anyone”

Small-group 2-hour Amsterdam Light Festival night walk with canals, Dam Square sights, Bloemenmarkt, and a Melly's stroopwafel workshop.

“Very little content and information for a lot of walking! No winer hat or rain poncho as stated in trip itinerary and although we did get a “warm” drink at the end of the walk, the cafe owner wasn’t very happy on our arrival and we were mad to feel like an inconvenience!! Definitely give it a miss 👎🏻”
