One of our most popular tours, the 3 day coach tour to Amsterdam & Bruges. Coach pick up points in London (Hammersmith, Great Portland Street, Embankment and Lewisham), Canterbury and Ramsgate. Early morning transfers are also arranged from Cambridge to join the coach in London. From Folkestone we depart on the 09:30 high speed Eurotunnel to Calais and arrive in Amsterdam in the afternoon, where we check in to  one of our fantastic accommodation choices:

OPTION 1 - The excellent St. Christophers at the Winston. A unique hostel in the heart of Amsterdam, located between Dam Square and the Red Light District, walking distance to the vast majority of major attractions the city has to offer. The Winston also has Amsterdam's one and only Belushi's bar with great food and drink promotions all year round and a funky nightclub 'The Winston Kingdom' where you can sample some great live entertainment. Rooming is based on 3-8 bedded ensuite rooms. 

OPTION 2 - HOTEL UPGRADE – On all Amsterdam tours we offer an accommodation upgrade for those customers looking for some extra comfort after a long day sightseeing.

 

After check in meet the guide for a walking tour, followed by a Canal Cruise through this wonderful city. We end the day with an evening optional walking tour of the Red Light District (included in tour cost). 


Day 2

After breakfast we begin the day with a morning coach excursion to Zaanse Schanse, a living Dutch Museum. If it is typical of Holland you will find it here. Windmills, Cheese-makers, Clog makers and typical Dutch dress.
