Amsterdam Self-Guided Ghost Hunt Game: Saving Rembrandt (opens in a new tab)

2 h

Amsterdam becomes the haunt in this self-guided ghost hunt, where the clues are hidden in plain sight in the streets around you. Rembrandt's ghost has unfinished business in the city he painted, and your team works the case from your own phone - decoding messages, answering riddles about the Golden Age and photographing what does not add up. Every puzzle you crack gets you a step closer to laying the ghost to rest. Play as a family, bring the children along, or send two or three teams out at the same time and turn the hunt into a race - which is what makes this self-guided city game work as well for a team outing as for a day out with friends. No venue, no host, just your team and the old centre.

19th Century Amsterdam Guided Private Bike Tour (opens in a new tab)

1 4 h

This bike tour is about nineteenth-century Amsterdam. It was a tremendously vibrant time when, after a long period of stagnation and a century of hibernation, the country suddenly awakened and surged forward with full force - out of slums, impoverished villages, remarkably outdated technology, and, by Dutch standards, a monstrous level of stratification. This surge was so intense that the country once again became one of the most advanced economies in the world. And in such tumultuous times, not only did brilliant discoveries, extraordinary accomplishments, and noble deeds take place, but also considerably less admirable events. And how out of all this, in a very logical manner, a new world was born - the world we live in now. On this bike tour of Amsterdam, you will see almost the whole city center and a myriad of exciting places that cannot be covered on a walking tour.
