Visit one of the world’s most famous flower gardens – the magnificent Keukenhof. This wonderful springtime break also includes the chance to spend time in the delightful Dutch capital, Amsterdam, with its canals, cobblestones, museums, bars and cafés. Also included are visits to the picturesque villages of the reclaimed Zuiderzee and the Netherlands' third city, The Hauge, home to the nation's parliament.
An included canal cruise – one of the best ways to see the sights – will be a highlight of the afternoon’s visit to Amsterdam. An undoubted highlight of the break is the day spent at world-renowned Keukenhof, where millions of flowers carpet the ground in a breathtaking horticultural display that attracts visitors from around the world. Complete the fun-filled few days with visits to the delightful villages of the windmill-dotted landscape surrounding the reclaimed Zuiderzee, including fishing port Volendam, with its traditional clog makers, and finally take in The Hague, the country’s administrative and political centre.

2026 Itinerary
Board the Eurostar in London St Pancras International and enjoy an easy four-hour journey to Amsterdam Central Station. Upon arrival, you’ll meet your tour manager and take a gentle stroll to the heart of the colourful Dutch capital. Enjoy an included canal cruise - the best way to see the city's sights - before enjoying a small amount of free time to explore the cobbled streets and winding canals of this exciting street.
In the early evening, continue to The Hague and check into your centrally located hotel.
A wonderful day awaits you today. After breakfast at your hotel, you'll board the coach to begin the journey to the gardens at Keukenhof. Here some seven million flowers carpet the ground in a breath-taking horticultural display that attracts visitors from around the world each year.
Wander the pathways that meander through this floral paradise, perhaps stopping in one of the gardens’ restaurants and cafes for lunch. You can even take an optional canal boat ride (payable locally) along the waterways that thread their way through the stunning gardens before returning to your hotel for dinner this evening.
Rise this morning with a leisurely breakfast at the hotel before being joined by an expert local guide for a fascinating walking tour of The Hague.
Across this two-hour excursion, you’ll explore the political heart of The Netherlands from its historic palaces to the heart of the Dutch parliament. Discover the palatial seats of the Dutch royals, learn about the Oranje dynasty’s lasting impact on the world, and take in the riverside Binnenhof, the home of the Dutch government.
You’ll also be introduced to a handful of the city’s delightful cultural attractions including Mauritshuis, which showcases the work of renowned artists Rembrandt and Vermeer, and Gevangenpoort Museum, housed in a medieval prison (entrance is payable locally). As you wander The Hague’s historic plazas and bustling streets, you might even bump into a minister or two.
Enjoy a final breakfast at your hotel before spending the rest of the morning at leisure on the Hague's nearby beaches. Head to Scheveningen, the city's famous beachfront district, and set out under your own steam to make the most of the nearby promenades, piers and seafront. Along the city's 11 kilometre stretch of coastline, you'll find plenty of things to keep you entertained from charming cafés and resorts to quiet sandy beaches. After a relaxing few hours spent by the sea, reboard your coach for the delightful villages and windmill-dotted landscapes of The Netherlands' reclaimed Zuider Zee.
Stroll the pretty streets of the historic fishing village of Volendam – once trodden by the likes of Picasso and Renoir – and catch a glimpse of Dutch life through the ages in its preserved traditional houses. You’ll also enjoy behind-the-scenes insights into one of Holland’s most celebrated crafts with a wooden shoemaking demonstration, and cheese-tasting session, at a traditional local business (typically a working farm).
Later in the day, you’ll return to Rotterdam’s Central Station to catch the evening Eurostar back to London (the journey time is around three hours and 20 minutes).
