Open Community Groups
Scheduled sessions open to individual registration. Participants are grouped by pace preference on the day of the walk. No prior membership required.
Community Walking
Find Your Walking Group in Amsterdam
Whether you arrive alone or with colleagues, our group sessions connect people interested in exploring Amsterdam on foot. Groups are organised by pace, schedule, and neighbourhood preference. These are recreational leisure activities only.

Different Groups for Different Needs
Private Groups
Reserved sessions for pre-formed groups such as teams, clubs, or friend circles. Custom route and timing available.

Introduction Groups
Designed for newcomers to Amsterdam, focusing on orientation walks through central districts with extra navigation guidance.
How Groups Form
From Registration to Walking Together
Phase 01
Registration
You submit a request via our contact form, indicating preferred dates, pace, and whether you are joining alone or with others.
Phase 02
Matching
We assign you to a session based on availability and pace category. Confirmation includes meeting point, route name, and guide details.
Phase 03
Session Day
Arrive at the meeting point, meet your guide and fellow participants, and set off together on the planned route.
Solo Participants
Joining alone is common. Open community sessions are designed to welcome individual registrants and facilitate introductions naturally during the walk.
Pairs and Small Circles
Friends, couples, or small groups of up to four may register together and will be placed in the same session, subject to availability.
Size, Pace, and Group Dynamics
We maintain moderate group sizes to ensure guides can manage the route effectively and participants can engage with one another.
Group Size
Open sessions typically include 8 to 14 participants plus one guide. Private sessions can accommodate 6 to 20 participants depending on route width and conditions.
Pace Matching
Participants select a pace category during registration: relaxed, moderate, or extended. Groups are not mixed across pace categories within a single session.
Guide Ratio
One guide leads groups up to 14 participants. Larger private groups may include an assistant guide to maintain group cohesion at junctions and crossings.
Walking Sessions for Teams and Organisations
Companies and organisations book private group sessions as outdoor leisure activities. These are recreational walking events — not corporate training, wellness programmes, or professional development services.
Team Outings
Structured walks through business districts, parks, or cultural areas. Duration and route customised to your schedule.
Department Events
Single-session or recurring walks for department groups. Invoicing and group registration handled through a designated contact person.
Conference Add-ons
Morning or afternoon walking sessions for conference attendees staying in Amsterdam. Routes designed around hotel locations.
Social Clubs
Clubs and Community Organisations
Social clubs, expat groups, and community organisations regularly book recurring walking sessions with us. We offer programme-style arrangements where the same group walks together on a fixed weekly or bi-weekly schedule.
Club coordinators receive a dedicated contact channel for scheduling, route rotation, and participant list management. Discounts may apply for multi-session programme bookings as outlined in our Terms of Use.

Orientation Walks for Recent Arrivals
Introduction groups focus on helping new residents and long-term visitors understand Amsterdam's layout, transport connections, and neighbourhood character through guided walking.
City Layout Sessions
Walks through Centrum and surrounding districts that explain canal ring structure, tram line connections, and key landmark orientation points.
Neighbourhood Discovery
Sessions in De Pijp, Oost, and Noord that introduce local amenities, markets, parks, and practical daily-life routes between common destinations.
Inclusive Group Walking
We offer relaxed-pace sessions on predominantly flat routes with minimal stairs. Contact us before registering to discuss specific mobility needs. We will recommend suitable routes and advise on terrain conditions honestly.
Our primary session language is English. Dutch-language sessions are available for private groups upon request. Guides provide route commentary in the confirmed language for the session.
Participants aged 16 and above may register independently. Younger participants may join when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who assumes full responsibility for their supervision throughout the session.
Shared Expectations for All Participants
Punctuality
Arrive on time at the meeting point. Guides begin briefings at the scheduled start and cannot delay the group for late arrivals beyond ten minutes.
Respectful Conduct
Participants treat fellow walkers, guides, and residents with courtesy. Disruptive behaviour may result in removal from the session without refund.
Stay With the Group
Remain within sight of the guide throughout the session. If you need to leave early, inform the guide at the nearest pause point.
