Home to tulip fields, canal-laced cities, fleets of cyclists and a vibrant artistic legacy, the Netherlands offers a chance to explore a small country that’s easy to navigate and overflowing with things to see and do. Our specialists have explored the country extensively and can offer expert help to craft a trip that suits your interests, whether that’s enjoying Dutch food on a cycling tour of Rotterdam, exploring the windmills of Kinderdijk or visiting Anne Frank’s house in Amsterdam.
We can also arrange for you to visit some of the Netherlands’ lesser-trodden cities, such as Maastricht, with its strong culinary tradition, or Utrecht, which combines a well-preserved core with a lively university population. Whether you want to discover the Golden Age glories of Delft and learn to paint your own tile at the Delft Royal factory, see an extensive collection of artworks by Van Gogh at the Kröller-Müller Museum or explore the medieval town of Amersfoort, we’ll tailor your vacation to the Netherlands to your interests.
