After our central London pickups, we depart for Dover for our 9:25am ferry crossing. Upon arrival we continue our journey through France, Belgium and the Netherlands and should arrive at our hotel at approximately 6pm. A 2 course meal will be served to the group as well as a 2 hour free bar which includes beer, wine, Dutch gin and brandy! Soft drinks are also available. The evening is then left to your own leisure. If you cannot wait to get to Amsterdam for a night out then buses regularly pick up from a stop only a short walk from our hotel.
On our second day in Holland, after breakfast in the hotel, we will head to a traditional Clog and Cheese factory. Here you will watch some traditional clogs being made from scratch as well as find out the history from the factory workers. You will also be able to try on and purchase some clogs as well as tasting some traditional Dutch cheese. After the factory, we will head to Amsterdam for a guided tour. Your tour manager will be sure to point out all of the great places to visit during your stay such as The Amsterdam Museum which maps the last eight centuries of urban evolution, the famous flower markets to pick up some traditional Tulips and the Amsterdam’s Canal Belt. The rest of your day is left for you to roam the city. You may enjoy hiring a bike to discover all that the city has to offer or perhaps to take an hour long canal boat cruise. If so, then please speak to your tour manager for details (not included in price). At around 6:30pm, you will meet the coach and return back to the hotel for an evening meal and 2 hour free bar again.
