You still cover the big landmarks and the stories you actually need to know about Amsterdam, so you understand the city, can find your way around, and carry it with you for the rest of your stay. But you get there through games, questions, and shared moments instead of lectures. Kids, teens, parents, grandparents. Everybody gets a role. Screens stay in pockets. You get those rare moments where three generations are laughing at the same thing. Mini pancakes included. Bribery, but make it cultural.
