Day 01 Touch down in Amsterdam
Welcome to Amsterdam. An airport transfer will drive you into the city, where you’ll check into your hotel. Meet your fellow travellers and guide over a welcome drink, before heading out to explore the city streets. Your walking tour will begin in the famed Red Light District (one of Amsterdam’s oldest quarters) where you’ll learn about the neighbourhood’s shadowy history. You’ll then dine in a nearby restaurant in the 17th-century canal district.

Day 02 Canoeing & food tour
Having explored Amsterdam’s streets by foot, you’ll now adopt a new perspective: from your canoe as you glide down its canals. Spend your morning cruising beneath picturesque bridges and charming streets, before hopping back onto dry land to explore Jordaan – a district known for its working-class roots, radical politics and stylish bars. Weave your way through trendy Jordaan on a walking food tour (local cheeses and sugar-dusted pastries are to be expected, and no doubt enjoyed). As evening falls, board a canal boat for a leisurely sunset cruise, with pizza and beer to see you into the night.

Day 03 Idyllic landscape & craft beer
Take advantage of a free morning to do as you please (perhaps needed after exploring Amsterdam’s famed nightlife). Then, gather with your group at midday for an e-bike adventure through the Dutch countryside. With its 17th-century windmills, wooden villages and winding rivers, experience the scenic beauty that the Netherlands is famed for. Your biking foray will take you to a nearby microbrewery, located in a converted 19th-century warehouse. Your introduction to the processes of craft beer will be followed by an exclusive tasting, before returning to Amsterdam for a final dinner.
