A 3-course dinner in total darkness in Amsterdam, served by visually impaired staff. Expect heightened senses, attentive guidance, and value.
“I always wanted to try the dining in the dark experience so I was thrilled when I saw it was available during my visit to Amsterdam at a much more reasonable price than where I live. It was all I expected and more. You really are in total darkness. The meal was delicious but I wish there had been more bold flavors. The night we were there they were introducing a new menu. I think they’ll be making some changes. Our only complaint was that the room was too cold and that it was impossible to call your waiter if you needed something because you never knew if a waiter…”

A Vegas-style dinner show in Amsterdam with a 3-course shared menu, live music, magic, and show-stopping dancers at Harbour Club Theater.
“De show was prima. Eten daarentegen viel tegen. Michelin ster prijzen en hoeveelheid maar de kwaliteit van de All you can eat om de hoek. Wij kregen net zoveel eten met z’n vijven als de tafel naast ons waar twee personen aan zaten, heel vreemd. 2 kleine stukjes kip en een stukje vis verdelen over 5 personen en een klein schaaltje nasi. We moesten maar om meer vragen als we het op hadden. Op de vraag waarom we niet meteen wat meer konden krijgen was het antwoord dat we dan mischien wel weer teveel zouden krijgen. Rare opmerking gezien de tafel naast ons met 2 personen die in principe elk…”

Small-group sunset canoe tour in Amsterdam’s Waterland with guide Majel and a picnic dinner. Paddle wetlands, polders, and windmills.
“The tour guide Majel is highly professional, courteous, knowledgable, and on top of that very gracious! The excursion is well planned and the canoeing is through easy waters and charming scenery. Male's recent historical commentary really helped us to understand Dutch culture and landscape. The picnic supper is quite generous and the beverages before and after add a welcome touch and invite a sense of comradeship among the participants -- of whom there were three on our trip and the third is now a delightful new acquaintance of ours on Facebook. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a different perspective on touring in Amsterdam!”
