Make Amsterdam XL stroopwafels in 45 minutes at the city’s original syrup waffle workshop, with coffee and a take-home waffle.
“Was great family fun, all enjoyed it especially my 2 children (16&12yrs). Great value for money considering stroopwaffles can be around €15 😂 The teacher was nice but was hard to hear being at the back of the workshop”
Join a 45-minute Amsterdam class to make stroopwafels on a traditional iron, learn the syrup history, and take home two warm waffles.
“This was a great way to spend Christmas morning. Anouk and Talia were fantastic hosts. They shared the history of the Stroopwaffle as well as ideas for Amsterdam site seeing. We each made two Stroopwaffles. They were delicious!”
Self-guided audio tour through Bols genever history, then a Mirror Bar cocktail and a bartender-led workshop making 2–3 drinks.
“Really interesting immersive experience! You get given an audio set, drink token, and mystery vial on arrival. It takes around an hour to walk through, you can go at your own pace, very interesting if you take the time to listen to the audio sets. The bar at the end is where you redeem the drink token, unfortunately pornstar martini’s were on tap so wish I picked a cocktail that was made fresh. The cocktail workshop at the end was very fun, we made two cocktails - pornstar martini and a lime based one (can’t remember the name!). Our teacher was insightful, experienced and made it fun. Definitely worth adding…”

Bake and decorate XL Dutch stroopwafels in 45 minutes near Anne Frank House, with chocolate toppings and take-home waffles.
“It was so fun! Isis was an amazing host and the class itself was so cute, intimate, and had beautiful decor. Best of all, the stroopwafels were delicious!”
Shake your own Bols cocktail in Amsterdam’s Mirror Bar, then take a hands-on workshop to make two more. Small group, English-led.
“Best way to celebrate my birthday! The museum and cocktail class were delicious, educational and most of all so much fun!”
Paint a Delft Blue ceramic tile in Amsterdam with tea, coffee, and stroopwafels. Small class, easy guidance, take-home souvenir.
“We really enjoyed this experience with my husband. Our guide gave us lots of info. Only point is it felt too short. I was going to go for a more complicated design but glad I didn’t as I defo wouldn’t have had time to finish. Even an extra 10-15 mins would be sufficient in my opinion. I saw others who hadn’t finished their painting too. Other than that it was amazing would defo recommend”
A 2-hour Amsterdam Light Festival winter walk with canal views, classic landmarks, and a Stroopwafel workshop at Melly’s.
“The tour stated "meet in Dam square". There were several thousand people protesting in Dam square that day, the tour group was nowhere to be found. I never heard from them.”
Botanical rum distilling class at Spirited Union Amsterdam. Tour, pick a recipe, distill, bottle, and take home your custom rum.
“This was a really nice evening, others on the same tour were great and the hosts done an amazing job at keeping us all entertained. It’s a little out of the city about 35 minutes walk from the train station but worth it!”
