Trip Summary
Map of Itinerary
Expand [+]

Explore the beauty of the canaled city of Amsterdam with its historical centre and multitude of museums. Visit the world's largest flower auction in Aalsmeer, the picturesque towns of 17th century Delft (known for its pottery), beautiful Rotterdam, and the Hague, where the seat of Government sits, all with a local English speaking Guide. Commence your trip with a private airport transfer to your accomodation and enjoy a blend of guided (shared) tours as well as a Canal Pass which gives you access to all of the major sites and places of interest in the city by the waterways. Take advantage of your Holland Pass which saves you time when you visit any of a number of museums and attractions. Take some time to sit on the sidewalk of one of the coffee houses and take it all in, as the locals get around their city on two wheels - and maybe even follow suit by renting a bike of your own for an afternoon. There is plenty to see and do for a few days, and when you are fully sated after some wonderful food and culture, your private vehicle and English speaking driver will drop you back at the airport.

Itinerary

Day 1 Amsterdam

Amsterdam is the capital and largest city of the Netherlands, and the epicentre of the country's finance and culture. Amsterdam's attractions, including its historic canals, the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, Anne Frank House, and its red-light district, draw 4.2 million tourists annually. This city fans out south from the Amsterdam Central railway station, which is serviced regularly from the airport. Amsterdam's rich architectural legacies make a stroll through the downtown, or a canal tour, a memorable experience. It is a city of bicycles, families, tidy streets and courteous manners. Quite opposite to the reputation, it's the peace and tranquility that lingers in your memory after departing this city.

Meet your driver for a private airport transfer from hotel. 

A welcome package with your vouchers, a city map, train tickets (if relevant) and any other touristic information that we deem you may find useful will be presented to you by your driver upon arrival. Alternative arrangements will be made if you do not have a private transfer at the start of your itinerary.

The rest of the day is for you to enjoy at your leisure.

This landmark Amsterdam property is centrally located opposite the city's zoo and is just one kilometre from the main squares of Waterlooplein and Rembrantplein. Eden Lancaster Hotel’s 91 contemporary guestrooms include high-speed Internet access (surcharge), tea and coffee facilities, and flatscreen televisions with pay movies. Guests can make use of the wireless Internet in the lobby; the 24-hour front desk has a safe deposit box and breakfast is served each morning for a surcharge.

Overnight at Eden Lancaster (3*).

Day 2 Amsterdam

Begin with a visit to the Aalsmeer´s world famous flower auction (closed Sundays and replaced by a visit of a traditional wooden shoe maker). Continue to Rotterdam, the second largest city of the Netherlands, characterized by its contemporary and fascinating architecture. The next stop is at the picturesque town of Delft. During your visit to the Delft Blue Pottery Factory, you'll learn about the historical developments of these ceramic techniques. From Delft you drive to The Hague for a city tour. Pass by the highlights of their governmental city like the House of Parliament and the Peace Palace. During this excursion you can visit Madurodam.

Day 3 Amsterdam

This tour covers the magnificent area of Dutch polder landscape north of Amsterdam, marked by windmills, dikes and ditches.

We continue to Volendam and Marken, fishermen’s villages along the former Zuiderzee. Marken used to be an island until it was connected to the mainland by a dike. Some people of both places still wear the traditional costumes.
