With the offer of unlimited cocktails, we were expecting a bit more from this tour within the hour duration. It felt like the staff were slightly under-prepared, as when we first set off they had to stop so someone could throw on some stroopwaffles for us. The service to get drinks was fairly slow, so you could fix a maximum of 3 cocktails into the trip, and everyone got 1 stroopwaffle. We were also expecting to hear more about Amsterdam on the tour, but there wasn't much interaction from either of the 2 staff onboard. The cocktails were nice, and I highly recommend the 'Friendship in a Storm' cocktail.
