Memorable moment...

Taking a private boat ride through the canals of Amsterdam to see daily life and Dutch Golden Age architecture.

Art, art and more art in Amsterdam...

The Rijksmuseum is one of the best museums in the world. Its collection of works by Dutch masters (such as The Night Watch by Rembrandt van Rijn) is a highlight of any trip to Holland. Also in Amsterdam are the renowned Van Gogh Museum and the revered Stedelijk Museum of modern and contemporary art.

Satisfy your sweet tooth...

Visit a historic candy shop to sample Dutch licorice and other sweets popular in Holland.

For garden lovers...

Our tours include visits to the flower auction in Aalsmeer, tours of gardens at private manor homes and visits to the Keukenhof, a famed garden outside Amsterdam that bursts with color each spring.
