(D) DAY 3 – AMSTERDAM: After breakfast, we begin our Amsterdam panoramic city tour, featuring scenic canals, stunning architecture including the beautiful City Hall, beautiful squares, and some of the quirky elements of unique Amsterdam. Later, we return to our hotel for dinner and overnight. (B, D) DAY 4 – MADURODAM & DELFT: After breakfast at our hotel, we are off for a full-day tour, starting at the famed Aalsmeer Flower Auction. We will also enjoy a panoramic city tour of Delft, a canal city famous for its distinct blue and white pottery. Later we’ll visit Madurodam, a truly unique park that is a miniature Holland.

We’ll visit an eel smokehouse in Volendam, which includes an eel-tasting. Our guided tour of Volendam and Mark also includes a visit to a cheese factory. Dinner and overnight. (B, D) DAY 6 – KEUKENHOF GARDENS IN LISSE~THE HAGUE: After breakfast, we will travel to Lisse and take a morning visit to the world famous Keukenhof Gardens (best seen in mid- to late-spring, when the tulips are in bloom) a 32-hectare park with over 7 million bulbs planted annually. You’ll see why this destination is nicknamed “The Garden of Europe.” This afternoon, we visit The Hague for a guided tour of this internationally-significant city, home to the International Court of Justice, International Criminal Court, and Interpol. Return to our hotel for dinner and overnight. (B, D) DAY 7 – ARNHEM~NIJMEGEN: After breakfast, we will head east to the Rhine River and the German border, where we’ll visit two towns extremely significant for their roles in World War II. First, we’ll visit Arnhem, site of a costly loss to the Germans as the Allies attempted to hold a significant bridge there with lightly-armed British paratroopers. The bridge there is the actual “Bridge Too Far” from the famous 1970’s movie. We’ll continue on along the Rhine to Nijmegen, known more recently as the birthplace of the Van Halen brothers, but in World War II the location of another crucial bridge from “Operation Market Garden.” Here, we’ll have a battlefield tour, visit the Freedom Museum, and have a vineyard tour and wine tasting. Return to Amsterdam for dinner and overnight. (B, D) DAY 8– AMSTERDAM: After breakfast, the day is at leisure to enjoy this amazing European city. Three sightseeing suggestions would be a visit to the Anne Frank House, the massive Rijksmuseum with its stunning collection of art, or a visit to (and tour of) the Heineken Brewery. All are quite centrally located. Another option would be to travel the canals on any one of the many public boats that ply the canals performing public transportation much like our subways do. Dinner and overnight at the hotel.
