We Need to Talk about the Dutch

The Dutch are an interesting species—masters of organized chaos, champions of directness, and oddly obsessed with mayonnaise. Join us for a hilarious deep dive into Dutch culture, history, and quirks as we explore Amsterdam. From bizarre food habits to their suspicious love of bureaucracy, this tour will have you laughing, learning, and questioning everything you thought you knew about the Netherlands.

Highlights
  • Bicycle Survival 101 – Learn how to cross a Dutch street without getting run over
  • Food Crimes – The tragic reality of Dutch cuisine, from mayo-drenched fries to drop (licorice)
  • Tolerance? – A deep dive into the Dutch “live and let live” attitude (except when it comes to noise complaints)

  • Dutch Small Talk – Why “Gezelligheid” is a lifestyle, and how to fake it
Full Description

Look, the Dutch are a unique bunch. They ride bikes like they have nine lives, consider a sandwich with just one slice of cheese a proper meal, and somehow convinced the world that raw herring is a delicacy. If you’ve ever wondered, “What is up with these people?”—this tour is for you.

Join us for a hilarious, no-nonsense deep dive into Dutch quirks, habits, and history as we stroll through the streets of Amsterdam. We’ll tackle the big questions:

  • Why do the Dutch love taxes but hate paying for plastic bags?
  • How did a tiny swamp-filled country become a global superpower (with questionable methods)?
  • What’s the deal with their obsession with directness—and should you be worried?
