Holland, the country which gives prominence to flowers, in particular tulips, will fascinate you. Landing  early enough, kick off to the first excursion to discover the city of   Amsterdam.  The list of interesting places to visit is exhaustive and includes the Royal Palace, National Monument, Dam Square, Rembrandt Square, Albert Auyp Marke, Skinny Bridge and Anne Frank’s House. Nonetheless, due importance will also be given to the port and the canals which surround the city. During the trip, you will have another opportunity to spend more time roaming around the city or visiting Museums which are to your liking.

Exploring the villages of Marken, Volendam and Zaanse Schans will give you a great insight of the typical Netherland’s countryside. The latter, strategically located on the River Zaan is popular for the wooden houses, the windmills, traditional cheese processing and the typical clogs.

Tulips, clogs, cheese and windmills are synonymous with the Netherlands. The latter merits more of your attention and therefore you will be taken to Kinderdijk, a UNESCO World Heritage site,  where windmills dominate the whole area. Not very far off, discover by coach and on foot, the city of Rotterdam. Enjoy the pedestrian zone, where you can feast on a delicous lunch or simply dash to the shops.

Next planned for you is the most exciting and adventurous day of the trip. You will be transported to Efteling Theme Park where you can let go of everyday’s hassles, become young again and enjoy the rides and the well planned shows.

Exploring the south of Holland, your journey will take you to Delft, famous for handmade pottery works. To understand this craft you will set foot in one of the little factories where it is produced. Moving on to Madurodam Park, feel like a giant towering over the models of various cities. The last stop for the day will at the Binnerhof at the Hague where Parliament sits.

How many times have you said cheese when someone is taking a photo of you? Today, you can say cheese too, the only difference is that you will be surrounded by actual cheese since in the main square of Alkmaar, our next destination,   a reenactment of the past traditions take place. Here, bright costumes and carts full of different cheeses are the order of the day.  Soon time to say goodbye to the Netherlands but not before you experience a lovely candle light cruise while you enjoy tasting local cheese and wine.
