Tours and incentives:
We offer many local incentives that really indulge with the destination. Think of 2-3 day programs that really gives you a deep dive into the destination and enjoying great places in town or what to think about our private tours. We offer many private tours (for groups and FIT) that can be fully customized to your wishes.
We don’t have standard packages, but on our website you can find the ‘tour’ ideas and concepts. Here we have put some inspiration regarding touring experiences. Together with your initial ideas, we can make a personalized quote for you.
Of course, we totally understand that finding the right places could be difficult as time is in most cases limited. If you can share with us more about the visitors/group such as average age, background, specific interest (art, history, gastronomy, special interest). In that case we start with some first rough ideas to see if something would suit your demands and group wishes and we take it from here.
Of course, we book for our client mostly full packages (combinations of services) but if you want to book only a walking tour or a coach services we are happy to assist you.

Yes, as Amsterdam and Rotterdam are famous cruise destinations we provide services for many cruise groups.

In most cases, our programs are more authentic, fully adjusted to your needs (and mostly, better priced).
Many of our client have a congress or meetings in Amsterdam. We can tailor around your congress a nice leisure program that makes sure you don’t miss out on the highlights in town, respecting your available time and wishes.
