“I’ve been on a lot of walking tours in many cities around the globe. Most include a lot of history and details on what we’re seeing. We walked by a lot of things without explanation. This tour could have been so much better if the guide had done that vs talking about the cost of rent, his house buying experience, etc. I like to learn a lot on tours like this and I think a self guided tour I download would have been better.”
Meet the Dutch Pancake Masters team at Damrak 44 for a 1.5-hour meal built around a classic pancake and one tea, coffee, or soft drink. Expect sweet and savory choices, Rijksmuseum-inspired colors, and reproductions of Dutch masterpieces in central Amsterdam.
“Only issue was that we felt rushed at the end of our night as it was near closing time. Maybe should take last bookings 39 minutes earlier or pay staff 30 minutes later”

“The food we had on the tour was great (good quality) but we weren’t stuffed afterwards (just to give you an idea of quantity). Exploring the market and stopping in the bodega were highlights for us. The final stop in a grocery store was a bit strange. But overall, we were glad we went on the tour!”
