Highlights of Amsterdam

Welcome to Amsterdam, the capital and the largest city of Netherlands. Our driver will wait for you at the airport and later escort you to the check in the hotel at the city center. Relax and have a good rest.

Accommodation: Hotel Mai Amsterdam (4 star) or similar

The first stop of the Amsterdam tours is Anne Frank House. Anne Frank, one of the millions of Jewish victims of Nazi's persecution, hid with her family in the annex of the house for two years and there she wrote her famous diary. Pictures, videos and her original diary displayed in the house will show you the life story of the brave girl. Next we will take a walk on the centuries-old Dam Square, the beating heart of the city, jostling with locals, tourists, street performers and scores of pigeons. We'll visit Royal Palace and National Monument on the square. The palace was first built as a city hall and later transformed into a place by King Louis Napoleon Bonaparte in 1808, and is now one of the three palaces still used by the Royal Family.

We will drop by the Floating Flower Market, the only one of its kind in the world which has been in existence since 1862. The fantastic displays of fresh flowers in the stalls of the houseboats are a treat to behold. Later we will take a public ferry and enjoy a canal cruise to see the city at its most picturesque. Last, tour around the Rijksmuseum with a skip the line ticket. The national museum collects over one million artworks dating from the year 1200. Masterpieces by Rembrandt, Frans Hals, Johannes Vermeer, and Vincent Van Gogh are also on display.

Get ready for the amazing tour to windmill and fisherman villages. Today the driver guide will lead you to visit Zaanse Schans, an open-air museum best known for its collection of historical buildings such as still functioning windmills, green wooden residential houses, and barns from all over the region. All of those will give you a picture about life in Holland in the 17th and 18th centuries. There are also some craftman's workshops. We will pay a visit to a wooden shoe workshop and one working industrial windmill. Then drive to the famous fisherman town of Volendam. Located by the Markermeer Lake, it attracts travelers with its rows of authentic quaint houses, bustling harbor with old fishing boats, and locals dressed up in Dutch traditional costumes. You will get the vibe of fisherman's town when walking around the old centre. We will visit a local cheese factory and the owner will show you how the famous Dutch Gouda and Edam cheeses are made. Then go to visit the neighboring island - Marken, known for colorful pyramidal-roofed timer houses, white draw bridges and distinctive folk practices and culture. Return back to the hotel in Amsterdam at the end of the day tour.
