In this program our host, together with his crew, went to various Dutch municipalities to investigate their hospitality. Fixed components are the visit to a garage for a loan car and a visit to the private address of the mayor, where hospitality is also tested. But basically they can knock on everyone’s door!

At the end of each episode, a special plaque will be awarded to the municipality. There are three different plaques: the golden one (this municipality is very hospitable), the silver (it can go through) and the black ones (not welcoming at all).
