Nice assignments. Good to do. In addition, all in all also a nice walk through the cozy Alkmaar. We are well known in Alkmaar, but you still come across nice places that we do not know yet.
Fun escape tour with lots of Dutch and Alkmaar history.

Very nice way to explore the city. Alkmaar has a beautiful history and you will be guided through it, so Alkmaar has more to offer than just the cheese market 😉. But the escape tour itself, you can also find a lot of in-depth information via the many ANWB information signs on the route. In addition to a fun afternoon, I also learned a lot about the history of the Netherlands and Alkmaar. Because there is no time, you can also occasionally go on a terrace, or dive into a shop.

Very nice way to discover Alkmaar! You see the city in a completely different way and it is interesting to visit other places in Alkmaar that you would not otherwise visit. We had a good time for an afternoon. Highly recommended!

An Outside escape is a lot of fun to do! We successfully completed the tour in Alkmaar after walking criss-cross through the city and solving various fun puzzles. We chose the challenging version and it was! Along the way we had to keep looking for clues, which made it very entertaining. The tour was a good way to explore an unknown city, through the route and the story with facts about Alkmaar. We enjoyed shopping and some drinks along the way. We will definitely do this again when we visit another new city.

We opted for the challenging version. And that was true, challenging but nevertheless a wonderful escape. We enjoyed beautiful Alkmaar and the story of the escape was very fitting. Very worthwhile.
Fun and challenging in a beautiful city.

Nice and challenging puzzles, some even really difficult. But we didn't mind that. It's nice that you have to put in the effort. Also a nice route through the city. And it's nice that it didn't happen on time, so we were able to have a nice lunch.
