cheese is still made in the traditional way). Next to the world-famous fishing
villages of Volendam and Marken (visit to a clogmaker). After strolling around

scenic route of "polders" and windmills to Delft, where you will visit a Delft
Blue Pottery factory. See Rotterdam with its modern architecture and parts of
its port, and enjoy The Hague, with our Parliament and the Peace Palace. Passing
by Scheveningen, one of our major beach resorts, you get a view of the North Sea
coast, and several highlights of this tour you can see again in miniature,
during our last stop at Madurodam. (All entrance fees included).
Walking
Tour of Amsterdam by Night (5)
Departs: Wednesday and Saturday at 8.00 p.m. Duration: 2 hours
A tour through Dark Amsterdam can be rather
illuminating because of the visit to the famous Red Light District. The
excursion starts at a prostitute information centre where we will offer you a
drink. A former prostitute will explain the system and you are able to ask any
questions you may have. The visit to the “Wallen”, the Red Light District, is
perhaps the most interesting part of this tour. There you can see, live, the
oldest profession in the world. The tour continues passing old monuments and
goes through small streets, one of them the famous “Zeedijk”, in the past one of
the most dangerous streets of Amsterdam, where seamen went looking for
amusement. Nowadays, because of the disappearance of the harbour, the shady bars
have been replaced by typical Dutch pubs, and they are certainly not dangerous
any more. During this excursion we guarantee your safety – you are accompanied
by a very trustworthy guide.
