Day 1: Arrival in Amsterdam & Leisurely Exploration
Arrive at Schiphol Airport where your private driver greets you for a smooth transfer into Amsterdam. Settle into your hotel and receive a bespoke welcome package with helpful travel documents and tips. Spend the afternoon immersing yourself in the city’s gentle rhythm—wandering along its historic canals, pausing in atmospheric cafés for Dutch coffee and stroopwafels, and exploring the leafy beauty of Vondelpark. Discover the creative spirit of the Jordaan, where boutiques and galleries reflect Amsterdam’s rich artistic soul. With its blend of heritage, charm and calm, your introduction to the city is as elegant as it is unhurried.
Day 2: Private Walking Tour & Anne Frank House
Explore Amsterdam on foot with your private guide, beginning along the UNESCO-listed canals. Admire the grandeur of Amsterdam Centraal and pause in Dam Square, flanked by the Royal Palace and New Church. Continue through Spui Square and the Jordaan district, dotted with cafés and boutiques. Later, visit the Anne Frank House—an emotional journey through one of history’s most poignant personal stories. Walk the preserved rooms of the Secret Annex and view Anne’s original diary. This visit offers a powerful reflection on resilience and remembrance, thoughtfully concluding your day of exploration in Amsterdam.
Day 3: Zaanse Schans & Volendam Countryside Tour
Step outside the city and into the storybook landscapes of the Dutch countryside. Begin in Zaanse Schans, a historic windmill village where wooden houses and artisan workshops preserve the charm of the 17th century. Discover traditional crafts and take in the tranquil scenery of the riverfront. Continue to Volendam, a colourful fishing village where old customs still shape everyday life. Wander past harbourside boats, quaint homes and local shops, enjoying glimpses of traditional dress and regional delicacies. Return to Amsterdam filled with the serenity and authenticity of this beautiful region.
Day 4: Train to Paris & Arrival Assistance
Meet your private driver for a transfer to the station, then relax aboard a high-speed train bound for Paris. Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed by a meet-and-greet assistant who will guide you to your driver for a seamless journey to your hotel. A personalised welcome package awaits, ensuring you have everything needed for your time in France. With the afternoon at leisure, perhaps enjoy a riverside stroll or an apéritif nearby. The romance and elegance of Paris are already beginning to unfold.
Day 5: Private Guided Tour of the Louvre
Meet your private guide near the Louvre for a tailored tour through one of the world’s most iconic museums. Explore ancient artefacts, classical sculptures and Renaissance masterpieces, including the Mona Lisa, the Winged Victory of Samothrace and the Venus de Milo. Your guide will bring history to life with stories that enrich each piece and reveal the depth of the collection. From Egyptian relics to revolutionary French paintings, your journey through the Louvre is both enlightening and intimate. Afterward, enjoy the rest of the day at leisure.

Set out with your private guide on a walking journey through Paris’ most iconic landmarks. Visit Île de la Cité, Sainte-Chapelle, and the site of Notre-Dame. Stroll through the Tuileries Gardens, cross the historic bridges of the Seine, and admire the Louvre’s grandeur from outside. Visit the Musée de l’Orangerie to see Monet’s Water Lilies, then pause at Place de la Concorde and Pont Alexandre III before reaching the Eiffel Tower. With timed entry to the summit, enjoy panoramic views over Paris—a stunning finale to your day of discovery.
Day 7: Eurostar to London
Depart Paris for London via the Eurostar—a smooth and comfortable journey under the English Channel. On arrival, a meet-and-greet assistant will escort you through the station, ensuring a seamless transfer to your hotel. A fresh welcome package will be waiting, and the afternoon is yours to enjoy. Stroll through your neighbourhood, enjoy a traditional pub lunch or take in your first views of London’s iconic skyline. After three capitals in one week, today marks a moment of both arrival and pause.
Day 8: Private Black Cab Tour of London
Explore London in classic style with a black cab tour led by a knowledgeable local guide. Visit signature landmarks like Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge and Westminster Abbey, all while hearing stories that reveal the city’s layered history. This tour blends the iconic with the unexpected, including stops at hidden alleyways, quirky monuments, and even Henry VIII’s former tennis court. From stately squares to curious corners, the experience gives you a complete picture of the city’s character—grand, storied, and full of life.
Day 9: Windsor Castle & London Eye
Today, travel just beyond the city to explore Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world. With a private guide, visit the State Apartments, St George’s Chapel, and the beautifully kept grounds, each steeped in royal tradition. Return to London and skip the line at the London Eye, ascending in a glass capsule for breathtaking views over the Thames, Big Ben and the rooftops of the capital. From royalty to the riverbank, today captures London’s past and present in perfect balance.
Day 10: Departure
On your final day, meet your private driver for a comfortable transfer to the airport.
