    Frequently asked questions

    For groups up to 20 the Surprise Guide can build something within a few days. For 20+ we recommend 2–3 weeks; wharf-level and historical venues on Oudegracht book up quickly in spring and autumn.

    Yes. Company details go into checkout, VAT is split on the invoice. Payment via iDEAL, Wero or credit card. For larger groups we offer payment on invoice after a custom proposal.

    Each participant fills in their own dietary, allergy and practical info after you book. We only match with activities and venues that can accommodate the full group. Wharf-level venues have step access — we flag mobility constraints upfront.

    Yes. Before matching you can exclude categories (no alcohol, no escape rooms, no high-intensity physical, nothing water-based). The surprise happens inside your constraints.
