  1. Hello,

    I will shortly be coming to Amsterdam for a hen weekend.

    We have seen advertised a ladies night (details below) and I just wanted to check that it is a legitimate evening as we have
    to send money for tickets and it’ll be approx €1400 so we just wanted to check this was genuine as I cam unable to find many reviews.

    Any advise or confirmation of legitimacy would be greatly appreciated

    Many thanks in advance

  2. Hi Natalie

    I have not heard of the company but I guess that’s not surprising 🙂

    The venue which they use is a well known in Amsterdam. Calling Panama directly and asking about the company renting their venue would be a good idea.

    There are a few Other precautions you can take…

    If possible pay using a credit card. In case of fraud you should get a refund.
    Checkout the company on KvK website searching for the number they provided 60568100. You can also pay a small amount for a credit report.
    See whether your travel insurance provides cover in case of the company going broke etc
    Keep looking online for reviews – maybe searching using Dutch words as well as English.
    Look on Instagram for hashtags relating to this company – I think that they had an Instagram page.

    Hope this helps

    Nigel
