Netherlands Tour Packages

Highlights include Amsterdam's canals and museums, the tulip gardens of Keukenhof, the windmills of Kinderdijk, and charming towns like Delft, Haarlem and Utrecht.

The currency is the Euro (EUR). Dutch; English is spoken almost universally. On our Netherlands tours we arrange your transport, guides and accommodation, and can advise on visas and the best route for your interests. Carry a little local cash for markets and tips, pack for the season, and travel with an open mind.

The Netherlands is a low-lying country in north-western Europe, famously flat and criss-crossed by canals, dikes and waterways, much of it reclaimed from the sea.

Netherlands has its own seasonal rhythm, and choosing the right time of year makes a real difference to your trip.

The best time to visit is spring (April to May) for the tulips, and summer (June to August) for warm, long days. The tulip season peaks in mid-spring.

The Netherlands blends a Golden Age artistic heritage with a liberal, open and cycling-mad modern culture, and a landscape shaped by centuries of water management.

Highlights include Amsterdam's canals and museums, the tulip gardens of Keukenhof, the windmills of Kinderdijk, and charming towns like Delft, Haarlem and Utrecht.

The Netherlands is in the Schengen Area; many nationalities enter visa-free for short stays, while others need a Schengen visa. Rules change from time to time, so always confirm the current requirement for your own passport before booking. If you travel with us, we will guide you through exactly what you need.

A little courtesy goes a long way in Netherlands. Never walk in the bike lanes, book Amsterdam museums ahead, and respect the relaxed but rule-following local culture.

Do respect local traditions, carry small change for tips and markets, and stay hydrated. Don't drink tap water unless it is confirmed safe, flash valuables in crowded areas, or over-pack your schedule — the best trips here are unhurried ones.
