LUXURY HOLIDAYS & TOURS NETHERLANDS

HIDDEN GEMS & UNEXPECTED DISCOVERIES

One of the world’s most familiar European countries. From clogs and tulips to windmills and canals, the Netherlands has more than its share of national symbols.

The compact, beautiful city of Amsterdam has flourished over the centuries since its origins as a fishing village. Entering its Golden Age in the 17th century, it became the centre of world trade and the most prosperous city in northern Europe. With economic success came important cultural activity – artists such as Rembrandt van Rijn made their finest paintings here, and architecture also soared to new heights, to which the city still bears witness.

Many pleasant afternoons can be spent drifting along the city’s winding canals (over 160 of them!) and cycling the pretty cobbled streets past grand 17th-century townhouses. Amsterdam’s stock of museums is vast, but be sure to drop into the Anne Frank House, Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum – home to Rembrandt’s Night Watch and other works of celebrated Dutch masters – before retreating to a snug ‘brown cafe’. Before you leave, don’t forget to check out the stalls on the Noordermarkt in the old working-class district of De Jordaan, and tuck into the city’s best apple pie at Winkel 43.

And there’s plenty more to discover beyond the capital. You could find yourself taking in Rotterdam’s modern skyline by boat, admiring the 18th-century windmills of Kinderdijk or wandering about the medieval old town of Utrecht. There’s also the stately palaces of The Hague, the vibrant cultural scene of Maastricht and swathes of picturesque countryside strewn with vibrant flower fields and tiny historic villages.

“EXPERTLY TAILORED, EFFORTLESSLY ENJOYABLE”
We travelled to Indochina in January/February with an itinerary designed by The Ultimate Travel Company – and it was spot on. Rob, our consultant, really understood what we were looking for and created a journey that suited us perfectly. The choice of hotels was excellent, and the pace was just right, with enough time built in to relax and recharge between the different experiences. The service throughout was professional, personal and thoughtful – exactly what you want from a travel specialist.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”
We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with The Ultimate Travel Company.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”
This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.
