Itinerary
Spirits will be festive today as we link up ready for our King's Day extravaganza. Grab any last minute orange attire then get acquainted with the posse. We'll take in the coastline beauty of the White Cliffs of Dover which owe their gorgeousness to their composition of chalk. We'll arrive in the port of Calais and travel north via Belgium before reaching...Amsterdam! Fun fact: the city has 1539 bridges, 165 canals, and 2500 house boats - and it's all here for you to explore. Tonight we have a canal cruise & a few beverages to sign up for!
Today we're indulging in a different kind of dairy delight by visiting a cheese farm producing famous Dutch Edam and the chance to see how clogs are made. We will also be taking a bike ride through Dutch countryside to see working windmills. Talk about a picture perfect scene. In the city we can explore the endless museums of the city like the Rijks or the Van Gogh, taste the local Heineken drop in its true home, make a sobering stop at Anne Frank House, and that's just the tip of the iceberg of goodness to be found. For those that like the laid-back approach, do some shopping, or just kick back amongst the famed cafe culture. Tonight we meet up, find a local spot for dinner, then hit up some sweet nightlife locations in the city center!
And it’s King’s Day. Wahoo! Expect a cacophony of colour (mainly orange) as we embark on one of the Netherlands’ biggest, boldest and brightest celebrations. Today, you're free to mingle with the locals and possibly even join one of the MANY street and canal parties. And for dinner, we'll take a stroll around town to grab a quick Dutch snack from a hole in the wall. Or a local pancake house to celebrate!
It's time to hop over Belgian & French terrain and circle back to London. May dressing in orange and spending the day 'going Dutch' bring back this festival trip's memories for many years to come! Back in London, it's time to say our goodbyes and sing any final praise to the damn fine Dutch celebration that just took place. Let's do it all again next year, festive travellers!
