Activities

Departure by coach for a guided tour of the city. Amsterdam is one of the world's most extraordinary small cities. From its canals and world-famous museums to its many sights and historical treasures, Amsterdam is one of Europe's most romantic and surprising... see+ capitals. Stop at the Riecker Mill, a windmill located on the banks of the Amstel River to the south of the city. The mill was built in 1636 in the village of Sloten. Pumping of the polder water was taken over by an electric pumping station in 1932, and the mill was subsequently dismantled when the polder was dug up to create, among other things, Lake Het Nieuw Meer. In 1961, the mill was re-erected some 8 kilometers away on the banks of the Amstel, between the Kalfjeslaan and Borcht roads. The banks of the Amstel at this point are much frequented by tourists and walkers, and it's a prime location for an old Dutch windmill. A statue of Rembrandt has been erected next to the windmill as a reminder that the painter drew many pictures on the banks of this river. Then visit the famous flower market. You'll find thousands of fresh flowers, as well as bulbs of the famous tulip (with the gouda ball, probably the best idea for a souvenir gift), shrubs, plants... The countless varieties will make you dizzy. Return by coach. 
Not included
Leave the boat on foot to join our bike rental company! You'll be accompanied by a guide for a tour lasting around 2h30. You'll discover the canals and the unusual, secret places known only to Amstellodammers. Free time at the Flower Market or Albert Cuyp... see+ Market.

Departure by coach for Keukenhof Floral Park, accompanied by the boat's guide. On arrival, the hostess will give you an entrance ticket, and you can stroll at your own pace through the 32-hectare park's flower beds. Let yourself be charmed by the colors and... see+ fragrances of tulips, narcissi, daffodils and other bulbous flowers. Pass through the pavilion dedicated to orchids or the Japanese-inspired garden... Don't forget to discover a mill dating from 1892, at the far end of the park, from which you'll have a breathtaking view of the tulip fields...
In the 15th century, the current Keukenhof estate was a hunting ground. Aromatic herbs were also grown here for the kitchens of Jacqueline of Bavaria's castle, hence the name Keukenhof (kitchen garden).
