Van Aemstel Productions has been bombarded with eager tourists wanting to take their Amsterdam murder tour after
this past Wednesday’s killing of a building contractor with suspected links to a high profile crime network. The Travel
Channel reports that it was this
21st murder in an ongoing killing spree that has caused business to boom for the tour operator.
For about 30 euros, including bike rental, the “Liquidation Tour” takes tourists to the sites of actual gangster
killings that are located in attractive and popular areas of the city. There is also an extra option to attend a murder
mystery dinner, where diners solve a riddle by Agatha Christie.
Looks like this recent killing has maxed out the murder tour through the holidays, but the company runs a
variety of other Amsterdam excursion tours: you can learn how ancient
Amsterdam was defended by archery, learn how a homeless man gets by eating edible flowers, and have tea with a
transvestite.
