Want a different take on the city centre? Go on this playful walk created by our co-founders, Kristina & Wendy and now maintained by Mark, to make wonderful new memories. Follow location-based riddles to discover our favourite Greek take-away shop, the most original gift store, a turtle statue, a skinny bridge and sunny terraces – in gardens, with riverviews and on rooftops! Along the way, learn about the history of the city and its inhabitants.

This playful alternative walk across Amsterdam’s city centre sharpens your senses and encourages you to appreciate the most wonderful – and often hidden – details around you. Whether you know Amsterdam or just start exploring here, this experience gives you a perspective on discovery that will inspire your curiosity wherever you go next.

We know you’ll love our experiences, but if this is your first, rest assured - you can solve up to three riddles and still get a full refund, or in case of the Wonder Walks - all subscription plans come with one week free trial. See our T&Cs here.
