Visit Antwerp, the home of renowned artist Peter Paul Rubens. The museum houses a number of his works, including a self-portrait, as well as many tools that he once used. The next stop is at The Ruien, a unique piece of heritage: a network of man-made waterways that have provided Antwerp with drinking water and that later served as sewers before being covered with vaulted ceilings. At the end of your visit, continue to Amsterdam where you can explore the famous tulip fields, one of the many flowers that light up the Keukenhof Gardens.

One of the best ways to explore the city is on foot, wandering along the many streets and alleys that run along the banks of the canals. Discover the historic center, beginning with Dam Square, which is bordered by the Royal Palace. Next, take in the fine views of the canals and gabled houses of the Canal Ring district before visiting the house in which Anne Frank wrote her celebrated diary.

Continue to the Amsterdam Marionette Theatre, located in a former blacksmith’s shop in the old part of the city.

Get out of the city today and explore the picturesque landscape of the countryside on two wheels. Your driver privately transfers you to Prins Hendrikkade 176 to meet your guide and pick up your bikes. Make your way out of the city and explore the skinny bridges, crooked little buildings, and canals. Stop off at one of the last of the old authentic windmills, the Riekermolen, a historic building from the 17th century that was originally used to drain and reclaim the surrounding land. Witness a demonstration in the traditional art of making clogs and the famous Gouda cheese. Afterward, get a first-hand experience of these emblematic Dutch products as you taste some delicious samples of the Gouda and try on the wooden shoes. In the afternoon, head to the Van Gogh Museum, home to many of his famous works as well as other Impressionists and Post-Impressionists.
