Don't forget that all of our itineraries are totally customized and so this is just an idea of what we can build for you.
Discover the Netherlands in six quietly luxurious days, where culture, heritage, and countryside blend seamlessly into one thoughtful journey.
Your adventure begins in Amsterdam, staying at the canal-side sanctuary of Hotel Estherea. From your first evening, you are immersed in the spirit of the city with a visit to the Heineken Experience—an unexpectedly interactive glimpse into Dutch brewing heritage.
Over the next few days, your private guide brings the city to life: wander beneath centuries-old gables, explore hidden courtyards like the Begijnhof, and delve into the emotive power of Van Gogh’s brushstrokes at the museum that bears his name.
Beyond the city, the landscape shifts. A curated countryside cycling tour reveals postcard-perfect villages—Volendam, Edam, Monnickendam—where cobbled lanes and windmills whisper of the past.
Taste fresh cheese at a family-run farm, pause for lunch by the water, and sail the still waters between Marken and Volendam. It is a day defined by freedom, fresh air, and the quiet delight of discovery at your own pace.
Your final day includes a visit to the Anne Frank House—a deeply moving reminder of the resilience and humanity that underscore this beautiful country’s story. With time to reflect, you return once more to the welcoming comfort of Hotel Estherea.

Day 2: Walking Tour of Amsterdam
Set out with a private guide for a walking tour through Amsterdam’s historic heart. Wander the UNESCO-listed canals, visit Spui Square and Begijnhof, and glimpse the Red Light District by day. End at Dam Square, where the Royal Palace and New Church share stories of a regal past. Return to the comfort of Hotel Estherea for a restful evening.
Day 3: The World of Van Gogh
Join your guide on foot for a visit to the Van Gogh Museum, home to the largest collection of the artist’s work. Along the way, uncover insights into Van Gogh’s life, from his vibrant art to his emotional struggles. After exploring the museum, enjoy time at leisure or stroll back to your base at Hotel Estherea.
Day 4: Cycling the Dutch Countryside
Venture beyond the city with a privately guided cycling tour through Volendam, Edam and Monnickendam. Taste artisan cheese at a local farm, enjoy lunch at a waterside tavern, and explore quiet cobbled streets and windmill-dotted fields. End the day with a scenic boat ride and a fun photo session in traditional Dutch attire before returning to Hotel Estherea.
Day 5: Anne Frank House
