Itinerary

Day 1 Bruges City Self Walking Tour

Please reach your hotel and check into your hotel. (Optional: If you require, we can arrange your transit to Bruges by your preferred mode of transport after you have booked the trip). Next, you’ll be exploring the quaint old town, picturesque canals, and local cafes. Brugge is an overdose of charm and quiet. Its medieval streets radiate out from attractive squares. Picturesque and historic buildings offer photo opportunities at every corner. Horse drawn carriages are a common site on its cobblestone streets. Brugge will also offer several options to enjoy authentic local delicacies and local beer with the locals. And a visit to Brugge isn't complete without a boat trip on its canals which will get you even closer to the historic mansions. (Boat rides are optional and will cost extra)

Overnight in Bruges.

Note: This day is at leisure and you will have to explore the city on your own. We will let you know the key things to do there and how to organize your day.

Day 2 Amsterdam Canal Cruise

This day you’ll be transferred from Bruges to Amsterdam via bus and then check in to your hotel. Post check-in you’ll be covering the Amsterdam Canal Cruise on this day. Amsterdam is best seen from the water, and on this canal cruise you'll experience the best of this historical city. The Amsterdam City Canal Cruise offers you fantastic views of the 17th-century buildings lining the canals and also shows off the growing 21st-century city that Amsterdam has become. The ticket for this activity is included.

Day 3 Walking tour of Amsterdam and Windmill Village Trip

Today you’ll be doing the Walking Tour of Amsterdam. You will have to reach the meeting point of this tour on your own. This tour works on tips and you are expected to tip between at least Euro 5 to 10 for 2 people. On this walking tour, expert guides will take you where buses simply can’t go and give you an authentic introduction to one of Europe's favorite cities. Starting from Dam Square, you will go past iconic sites like leaning buildings and the smallest house, many canals and bridges.

The next activity is a trip to the Zaanse Schans Windmill Village which is a beautiful village in the neighborhood of Amsterdam (this activity has no guide). The transfers from Amsterdam to the village by train are included but you will have to reach the train station on your own. The mesmerizing view of the river with old wooden homes on both sides and the wooden windmills in the background will offer a postcard worthy view. After you reach there, it is a 10-15 minutes walk through the village of Zaandijk (just follow the signs). The site is best navigated on foot. The entry to the open air museum is free. The windmills however can be entered for a small fee (Euro 4 for adults/ Euro 2 for children). There are 5 historical wooden windmills still operating. If you wish, you may also cycle around the village although the site is perfectly navigable on foot. You will need 2 hours or so to cover the place.

Overnight stay in Amsterdam.

Day 4 Anne Frank Museum and Heineken Experience Ticket (Or Tulip Garden Full Day Trip depending on the season)

Today you’ll be going to the Anne Frank Museum and learn about Anne Frank's life while growing up, as well as the history of the Jewish Quarter and Second World War.
