Your Holiday Highlights

Amsterdam Private Canal Cruise
Discover Amsterdam from the water on a private canal cruise, the finest way to take in the city's charm and history. Aboard a classic boat, glide past elegant 17th-century merchant houses, quaint bobbing houseboats and bustling waterfront markets, while your guide brings the stories of Amsterdam, past and present, vividly to life.
A Walking Tour of Antwerp
Discover the vibrant city of Antwerp on foot, taking in the rich history, stunning architecture and cultural treasures that define it. The highlight is a visit to the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, renowned for its remarkable collection of Flemish baroque masterpieces alongside celebrated modern and contemporary works.
The Windmills of Kinderdijk
Step back in time at Kinderdijk, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where 19 historic windmills rise from the serene Dutch countryside. Dating to the 18th century, these iconic structures were built to manage water levels and prevent flooding. Some still turn today, a lasting testament to Dutch ingenuity and engineering.
