After arriving at Rotterdam The Hague Airport, we move to the center of Rotterdam, one of the most extraordinary cities in Europe in terms of architecture, with our private bus.

After our city tour, we leave Rotterdam and move to Amsterdam, the world-famous capital of the Netherlands. Built on hundreds of canals and bridges, the city has an atmosphere unlike any other city in Europe with its narrow-fronted historic houses, bicycle culture, art museums, lively squares, and unique lifestyle. In the city tour we will conduct after our arrival, Dam Square, the heart of the city, the Royal Palace, Leidseplein, Rembrandtplein, Amsterdam's world-renowned historic canal belt, the Red Light District, and centers where we can see examples of the city's centuries-old diamond craftsmanship tradition are some of the places we will see during our tour.
