AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS

We will drive through Dam Square, with the Royal Palace and the Nieuwe Kerk, to the museum area. We pass the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, the Concert Building and the entertainment area Leidseplein on our way to the heart of the city for an hour long canal cruise.

Although we appreciate that many passengers will choose to explore the city alone, this tour is for those of us who enjoy seeing the sights from the comfort of a coach, and who value the services of a fully qualified, English speaking guide to enlighten us. We will drive through Dam Square, with the Royal Palace and the Nieuwe Kerk, to the museum area. We pass the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, the Concert Building and the entertainment area Leidseplein on our way to the heart of the city for an hour long canal cruise. This is the best way to see the variety of gables, historic buildings including the Westerchurch and Twin Houses, and bridges such as the ‘Skinny Bridge’. We also see the exterior of Anne Frank’s House. After our cruise we return to our ship. The only walking involved in this tour is from ship to coach and between coach and canal boat, and vice versa. There are some steps to board the boat, which is not suitable for wheelchairs. The drive through Dam Square will depend on local conditions.
