Understated beauty is an accurate way to describe Netherlands. A land of vividly colorful countryside, picturesque villages, and cities bursting with canals and rich with striking architecture.

The Netherlands is one of the most developed countries in the world and despite its relatively small size, is packed with a vast array of places to explore, as well as having a huge cultural heritage. Much has remained unchanged over the decades and each town has its own distinct identity.
The modern metropolis of Amsterdam is based around concentric canals, 17th century monuments and a huge harbour. The city’s small buildings, streets and squares give it a cosy and intimate atmosphere. The Netherlands has produced some of the world’s greatest artists. And Amsterdam has the highest museum density in the world, including the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum and the Stedelijk Museum. With us, you’ll enjoy a special guided visit to the Rijksmuseum, where you’ll admire Rembrandt’s masterpiece, The Night Watch.
Dubbed Manhattan on the Maas, Europe’s largest port is a dynamic, fast-moving city and a haven of culture, architecture and art. Visit with us and you’ll have the chance to stay aboard the SS Rotterdam, the largest passenger ship to be built in the Netherlands. You’ll get an insight into the port’s shipbuilding history – different from anything you’ll get in a museum. We’ll also take you on a boat cruise through the port and a trip to the top of the Euromast Tower, where you can enjoy panoramic views over the city and harbour.
This university city is often called the world’s cycling capital, so what better way to explore than by bike? You’ll see the sights as the locals do – and our Local Specialists will bring them to life with their first-hand knowledge. Later, you’ll enjoy what is bound to be one of the highlights of your holiday – a special Be My Guest dinner with Dignie and Gina at their farmhouse. They’ll give you an insight into rural Dutch life, taking you to a neighbouring farm where you’ll see how dairy cows are milked, before treating you to a homecooked dinner of delicious regional dishes.
