REVISED: Amsterdam City Tour | March 25–28, 2027

This is designed for the way we like to travel:

• You won’t feel rushed or herded from place to place
• You’ll have private guiding where it matters (no straining to hear, no big groups)
• You’ll have free time to explore without feeling like you’re missing something
• You’ll arrive to the cruise rested—not depleted
• And just as importantly—you’ll already know the women you’re traveling with

It’s a calmer, more enjoyable way to begin.

We’ve built this intentionally—enough structure to feel taken care of, with space to make it your own.

Day 1 – A First Look at Amsterdam

We will all arrive at different times and meet at the hotel. At that point, those who have the energy to venture out will join Linda for an adventure. We will all meet up for dinner together.

Day 2 – Let's explore Amsterdam by foot and by taste
We will have a walking tour of the city followed by a food tasting tour.

Day 3 – Museumplein

We walk to Museumplein and spend the morning inside the Rijksmuseum with a guide who knows how to make it manageable—and interesting.
No wandering aimlessly. No overload. Just the highlights that matter, with the stories behind them.

Day 4 – Last Day and Transfer to Cruise Ship

Visit the Anne Frank House if it’s on your list (tickets must be booked individually in advance), explore neighborhoods like Jordaan, visit another museum or two, settle into a café and let the day unfold naturally, or enjoy the spa in our hotel. .

We’ll also give you curated suggestions—from museums like the Van Gogh Museum to hidden local spots—so you’re never wondering what to do.

A few important things to know:

• All tickets must be purchased online in advance through the official website (they are not available at the door or through group bookings)

My advice? Set a reminder.
Tickets sell out quickly, and if this is something you want to see, it’s worth planning ahead. SET AN ALARM TO REMIND YOURSELF TO BUY A TICKET 6 WEEKS AHEAD OF THE VISIT!

“I almost didn’t book the pre-trip because I thought I didn’t need it. It ended up being one of my favorite parts of the entire journey. I arrived relaxed, got to know everyone before the cruise even started, and actually felt like I experienced Amsterdam instead of just passing through.”
