FunAmsterdam helps you plan experiences in Amsterdam that feel local, social and easy to recommend. We run things like stroopwafel workshops, Delft tile painting, canal experiences and group activities that are fun in the moment and still worth talking about afterwards.
Our focus is simple: make it easier to choose Amsterdam experiences that feel like a good fit for your group, whether you’re planning something with friends, family or colleagues.
We didn’t start out perfectly polished. For years, much of our work was stag and hen weekends: big nights, tight schedules and lots of moving parts. It taught us a lot about groups, logistics and what can go wrong when something isn’t planned carefully.
In 2024, our Stroopwafel Workshop and growing corporate events showed us what people remembered most: the more local, thoughtful and shareable experiences. Guests kept talking about the workshops, the hosts and the little details, not just the late nights. That’s when we started shifting more of FunAmsterdam toward cultural and authentic experiences, without losing the sense of fun.
These days, we use a simple checklist when we build or choose an activity:
Does it feel like Amsterdam, not like it could be anywhere?
Is it easy to enjoy with friends, family or colleagues without awkwardness?
Are the basics clear — time, place, inclusions, group size, shared vs private?
Would we be happy to recommend it ourselves?
That’s why you’ll see more hands-on workshops, relaxed canal experiences and well-paced group activities in our line-up. We still know how to do lively moments, but we’ve become more selective about what kind of fun we put our name on.
If you want to see what that looks like in practice, you can browse our full range of Amsterdam activities, explore our Fun Workshops, or go straight to the Stroopwafel Workshop and Delft Tile Painting Workshop.
Most of the people who contact us are the organisers: the friend planning a weekend, the person in HR arranging a team outing, or the family member trying to make everything fit. We know the feeling of sending a link to the group and quietly hoping everyone is happy with it.
So we try to answer the organiser questions quickly and clearly:
How long does it take?
Where exactly is it, and how do we get there?
What’s included in the price?
How many people can join, minimum and maximum?
Is this better as a shared session or a private booking?
Our team helps put those pieces together, whether you’re booking one workshop or combining several experiences in a single day. The goal is for you to feel confident pressing book — and relaxed when people start arriving.
For groups that want to mix a workshop with time on the water, we can help you combine activities from FunAmsterdam with a cruise from Starboard Boats or a more tailored programme through The Fun Group.
Behind every activity there’s a host and a small crew making it work — the guide running your stroopwafel workshop, the team on the boat, the people setting up the studio or checking timings. We choose partners and hosts who are good with people as well as the practical details: kind, clear, able to read a room and make different personalities feel comfortable.
We’d rather run one experience really well with the right host than add ten more that don’t feel like us.
That’s true whether you book a hands-on session through Stroopwafel Workshop Amsterdam, a creative experience through Delft Tile Painting Workshop, or a canal cruise with Starboard Boats.
FunAmsterdam is part of The Fun Group, alongside brands such as Starboard Boats. Being part of a wider group gives us the experience and support to keep improving what we do, while staying focused on creating better experiences here in Amsterdam.
For you, that simply means you’re booking with a team that takes experiences seriously and keeps raising the standard.
Guests book FunAmsterdam for birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette trips, company events, school groups and weekends with friends. The feedback we value most mentions things like:
The host made everyone feel at ease
The activity was easy to fit into the day
The experience felt like a proper Amsterdam find, not a tourist trap
That’s the benchmark we use when we improve existing activities and create new ones.
If you’re planning for a team or a bigger group, you can also explore The Fun Group corporate events for broader programme options.
We’re continuing to build experiences that feel more cultural, hands-on and well-designed — the kind of activities that show a more personal side of Amsterdam and are genuinely enjoyable to share with other people.
If you’re planning something for your group and want help choosing or combining activities, we’re always happy to help. You can start with our Amsterdam activities overview, look at Starboard Boats for canal cruises, or read more about the wider vision behind it all at The Fun Group.
Our job is to make sure the part of Amsterdam you book with us feels like one of the smart choices you made.
Our team is here to help you choose and book the right Amsterdam experiences for your group.
