Voyages of Discovery

As providers of luxury transportation giving excellent value for money, we are proud to offer you the opportunity to choose your own itinerary of places to visit, activities, entertainment, shopping or sightseeing trips in style, comfort and at your own pace.
 
Some visitors  to the Netherlands come to explore their roots and others seek to dip into the wealth of cultural and mercantile history that has made our country what it is today. Many enjoy seeing living history,  for example craftsmen using age-old skills to make succulent cheeses;  the harnessing of wind-power to grind grain,  spices and artists’ color pigments; the cutting and mounting of diamonds and the smelting of gold, silver and other precious metals. Others wish to drink in the beauty of our natural environment,  be it painstakingly managed like the stratified colors of the tulip fields and such exquisite floral gardens as the “Keukenhof”  or left wild like the “Hoge Veluwe” with its sandy undulations.  

Others may wish to visit our castles and historic stately homes, splendid museums that house priceless treasures of art and history and the birth or burial places of world-renowned figures like Erasmus and Rembrandt. Where else could you see the Old Masters rubbing shoulders with more than 200 Van Goghs or stroll in the open air among the statues of Henry Moore,  Giacometti, Rodin and Lipchitz but in the peaceful park of the Kröller-Müller Museum.

To sustain body and soul, there's global cuisine,  theatre,  jazz,  rock and folk music cafés, nightclubs and concert-halls of the stature of the famous Concertgebouw. Everything is here, and it would take a year…
So where do we begin?
