説明

Leave modern Amsterdam behind and enjoy a countryside road-trip to a pair of authentic North Holland villages. Classically “Dutch” in every regard, Broek in Waterland is an utterly charming hamlet long-celebrated for its classic wooden houses and dairy farms. A center of considerable wealth in the 17th and 18th centuries, Broek had more than its fair share of impressive homes – and visitors, famously including Napoleon himself in 1811. After enjoying a leisurely guided walk through this fairy-tale community, you’ll reboard the coach for the day’s next destination: UNESCO World Heritage listed Beemster Polder, the Netherlands’s oldest tract of reclaimed land. This well-preserved historic area was created by an amazing feat of 17th-century engineering – the extraction of under-lake land by use of windmills, dikes and canals. You’ll learn how the Dutch succeeded at creating whole new towns and pasturelands from below sea level during a fascinating visit to an original 17th century windmill. On the drive back to Amsterdam, you’ll certainly view the passing scenery with a fresh understanding.

Helpful Hints

  • Wear weather-appropriate clothing.
  • Flat, comfortable walking shoes are recommended.
  • This tour includes approximately 2 hours of walking, at times over cobblestones. There are 50 steep steps to negotiate inside the windmill. Any additional walking or exertion during free time is at guests’ discretion. The excursion is not considered suitable for wheelchair guests and those with mobility concerns are cautioned to carefully evaluate their personal level of ability before participating. Guests will start their free time once the canal boat/coach has dropped them off in the city center.
