A 75-minute Rotterdam harbor cruise from Willemsplein, with multilingual audio, container-terminal views, and a return pass by SS Rotterdam.

“The Rotterdam Harbour has to be seen to be believed. It is absolutely massive and complex and is responsible for so much of the cargo coming in and going out of Europe.

Loads of toppings to choose from so you can mix and match until your hearts content or your stomach is too full! There isn't any commentary of what "sights" are coming up so keep a look-out of the windows if you want to photograph them while tucking onto delicious pancakes, a lovely excursion!”

Speurtocht (Pokemon) niet voor herhaling vatbaar, ten eerste was de plattegrond om aan te kruisen te onduidelijk en de Pokemon figuren moeilijk te zien in tegenstelling tot Paw Patrol, die figuren zijn veel groter dus duidelijker. Fijn ook dat er een bewaakte garderobe is.”
