One team is up to four people sharing a single phone; a larger group buys another ticket and splits up, which is no hardship here, because the canal ring keeps bringing teams back within sight of one another. Amsterdam is flat, but the pavements are narrow and busy, so the pace is yours to set. Nobody is waiting on a guide, and there is no fixed start time to catch. How to play.
