Surprise outings, made easy
Toudou is a Dutch service that organizes surprise day trips, referred to as verrassingsuitjes, for individuals, couples, and groups in the Netherlands. The platform functions as a matching and booking service, removing the need for users to research, plan, or coordinate their own outings. Users provide their preferences through a Surprise Guide, including desired theme, budget, and timing, and Toudou matches these criteria with local partners to arrange a complete day out. The specific destination and activities are kept secret from the user until the day of the event, at which point the surprise is revealed. The service offers several key features. Users complete a brief questionnaire that takes approximately two minutes, specifying requirements such as atmosphere, budget, and preferred dates. Toudou then handles all searching, booking, and logistical arrangements with local partners. The platform includes a free date-finding tool called Wanneer Dan, which allows groups to coordinate availability without creating an account. Payment is processed only upon booking confirmation, and the service includes a Toudou service fee. The company provides a set of nine guarantees, referred to as 9 zekerheden, to ensure a worry-free experience. Typical use cases for Toudou include date outings, school and class trips, group outings, and corporate or custom events. The workflow begins with the user filling out the Surprise Guide, after which Toudou matches the request with a suitable activity from its network of local partners. The company books the activity on behalf of the user, and the surprise is revealed on the day of the outing. Toudou emphasizes that its offerings are curated from local partners not easily found through general search engines or AI tools. The service is available from a starting price of 20 euros per person. Toudou is based in Amsterdam and is registered under KvK number 99091267, with payments processed via iDEAL or Wero.
