(from 1,870 reviews)

Positives:

  • Stable boats: Electric whisper boats are very steady, so tipping is nearly impossible even with a stroller on board.
  • Baby facilities: Highchairs, small toys, colouring sheets and free purees keep your baby fed and happy.
  • Free Wi-Fi: Use restaurant Wi-Fi to share photos or check canal-route maps on your phone.

Challenges:

  • No changing table: The toilet has no built-in baby-changing station; bring a travel mat or call ahead to confirm options.
  • Narrow waterways: Canals are tight in spots; if you prefer not to steer, join the guided rondvaart instead.

Restaurant ist ok, but untrained staff are breathtakingly slow. A simple drink order can take half an hour. The boat rental is not cheap, but everything works and the guides where friendly and helpful. Parking was free and toilets are free to enter from inside the restaurant

Parking is 7.50E but you get a credit in your boat or tour price. I took the tour 10E per person. I went early so there weren’t very many people on the canals. Such beauty scenery. A must do!
