What Travelers Say

I used Nomax to find someone to visit Museum de Fundatie with, and ended up having a fantastic afternoon exploring the whole Blijmarkt area. It was so much better with company!

Nomax helped me connect with a local group for a cycling tour along the IJssel river. We even found a hidden 'kalkoven' (lime kiln) that wasn't in any guidebook!

I was a bit nervous about solo dining, but through Nomax, I joined two others for dinner at a lovely place near the Grote Kerk. Great food and even better conversation!
