Highlights
Do you want to avoid tourist crowds? On this tour, you visit places where main stream tourists do not go. We offer this day tour for visitors who want to see The Netherlands off the beaten path. On this private tour, we take you to places we Dutch are proud to show! This day tour takes you east and north of Amsterdam. You’ll visit: * Ancient fortified towns * the largest stretch of reclaimed land in the world * the biggest freshwater lake in Europe * picturesque old harbor towns * a secret windmill that no one knows about. This tour is all about Dutch ingenuity, like clever water management, ingenious windmills and hi tech farming. You will see and experience how we both fought against water and used it to defend our country. You will get to know why Holland is the second largest exporter of agricultural products in the world after the United States. On this tour, you see why The Netherlands is a country like no other.

About Amsterdam
Amsterdam rings its golden-age centre with tree-lined canals, gabled houses and bridges, packing great art and easy cycling into a compact city.
The canal ring, dug in the seventeenth century, curves around the old centre in concentric arcs: Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht, lined with tall merchants' houses. The Jordaan, just west, is a maze of small canals, courtyards, brown cafés and independent shops, and the Anne Frank House stands on the Prinsengracht at its edge.
Top-ranked sights in Amsterdam: Amstel River, Skinny Bridge (Magere Brug), Anne Frank House.
