A few formats groups usually build their day around
These are starting points, not fixed listings: each one can run in whichever of our cities suits your group, and we adjust the details to fit. For inspiration, get in touch and we will put together a proposal.
A few things groups like to build in
Small extras that turn a tour into a whole event. Ask about any of these when you get in touch.
From first email to the day itself
Tell us the shape of the day
How many people, which dates, which city or cities, and what the day is for. A rough idea is enough to start.
We come back with a proposal
Usually within 48 hours: a route, a timing, the number of guides your group needs, and one all-in price.
We arrange the rest
Guides in your language, museum tickets, restaurant reservations and transfers between cities, all on one invoice.
Group and corporate questions
How large a group can you take?
We do these programmes for anywhere between 5 and 500 people. One guide takes up to 20 people on a walking tour (15 in Amsterdam), and beyond that we simply add guides and split the group, starting each smaller group a few minutes apart on the same route. We regularly run days for 50 to 80 people this way, and larger conference and incentive groups well beyond that. If you would rather stay together, a whisper system lets one guide take a larger group than 20, as long as you ask at least a week in advance.
Can we stay together as one big group?
Yes, with a whisper system. Everyone gets a receiver and an earpiece, so one guide can take a group well above the usual twenty and still be heard clearly by the person at the back, on a busy square or beside traffic. We need to know at least a week before the tour so the equipment reaches your city in time. Without it, larger groups are split between guides instead.
How is a group tour priced?
Our single-city private tours are a flat price per guide, so a group of 40 pays for two guides rather than 40 tickets. Combination tours across two or three cities have a base price per guide plus a per-person amount, because they include travel between the cities. You always see one all-in figure in the proposal.
Which languages are available?
English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish and Italian. For a group that splits across several guides we can mix languages, so part of the group walks in English and part in German at the same time.
Can you organise lunch, dinner or tickets as well?
Yes. Restaurant reservations, museum entry, canal boats and workshops can all go into the same programme and onto the same invoice. Tell us the budget per head and we will suggest what fits.
Do you arrange transport between cities?
For most groups the train is faster and simpler, and your guide travels with you. Where a coach or minibus makes more sense we arrange it and include it in the quote. Hotel pickup in another city, Amsterdam included, can be added to any tour.
How far in advance should we book?
For a group of 20 or more, four to six weeks is comfortable, and more in spring and around conference season. We will always tell you honestly if a date is tight rather than accepting it and hoping.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Tours run in almost all weather, and our guides know which indoor stops to lean on when it turns. For a large group we can shift the balance of the day towards museums and covered stops on the morning itself.
Can we get one invoice for the whole company?
Yes. Group and corporate bookings are invoiced on payment terms rather than paid card by card at checkout, and we can put a purchase-order reference on the invoice if your finance team needs one.
Tell us about your group
Only your email and a short note on what you need are required. Anything else you can tell us, group name, size, city and dates, helps us come back with a sharper proposal, usually within 48 hours.
