What people are saying about Netherlands

Lovely way to walk through the city. We had 2x teenagers in our group & they enjoyed taking part. We saw lots of details that we wouldn’t have noticed on a normal city walk. I liked that it wasn’t as formal as a tour but we learned about the history for Utrecht through the game. Recommended! Will look for this kind of thing elsewhere!

Hat riesen Spaß gemacht und werden wir auf jeden Fall nochmal machen. Wirklich wirklich cool! Nächstes mal starten wir etwas früher, weil es im hellen bestimmt noch besser ist. Leider hat es bei uns schon gedämmert, aber das wissen wir fürs nächste mal :)

Ben was a great host - the game was challenging enough to require some thought but not too difficult for us to give up. Most importantly, we saw lots of Amsterdam as we were doing it! Recommended.

Das Date hat mehrere unterschiedliche Level und Themen. Es ist für jeden was dabei. Lohnt sich aus unserer Sicht auf jeden Fall.

It was a fun tour. Saw a lot of places and will book another tour.
