We chose the Rotterdam Harbour Tour for 17.50 euros per person. It took us all around to explore this port city for 75 minutes.

For the first round of pancake buffet where people line up, it takes forever as kids try to pile candy and other sweets on the plate. 2.

The fare includes unlimited pancakes and the ship ride, but not the drinks (no free water) I bought a deal for half off on Groupon. It's a fun experience as you sail across Rotterdam.
