This tour goes to Utrecht, the 4th largest city in the country. Here you will find old and beautiful buildings, enough café’s to have a drink, nice restaurant and friendly people. You will be surprised abot the great atmosphere Utrecht offers!
We start by showing you around in the beautiful city centrum. But we also take time to explore other interesting places outside of Utrecht. Within half an hour by train, you find yourself in the centre of Amsterdam. During this daytour we get to know this famous city with the characteristic houses along the canals, the popular museums, cozy terrasses and maybe a canaltour. Next daytour is to Spakenburg and Amersfoort.
Spakenburg is an old village where it seems that the time has stood still. You will still find elderly people in their traditional costumes side by side with the younger and modern generation.
Amersfoort offers a rich history and in the old part of the centrum you will feel the precence of the medieval city which from the 13th century.
The advantage with using Utrecht as a base is the short distance to Amsterdam airport and to other cities that can be visited as a daytour. Utrecht is a very nice and comfortable city for your trip to the Netherlands, and we always get good reviews from our guests who have been staying here.
History, culture and locals
![Groningen](https://www.feel-dutch.com/app/uploads/Groningen-high_rgb_4900-1024x681.jpg)
This tour starts in Groningen. We get to know this bustling student city where both students and locals live side by side and make you feel at home.
Daytrips from Groningen
Using Groningen as a base, there are different possibilities for daytrips. We choose to go by bus to the northern coastline where we go on board the boat that will take us to one of the Wadden Islands. Here we jump on our bikes and get ready for a day sucking up som sea-air, going to the beach and relaxing. We take some time to bike around the island and after this you can enjoy the beaches for swimming and sunbathing, or you can go to one of the cozy villages to enjoy a cup of coffee. However, if you rather fill the day with activities, there is plenty to do!
The Wadden area
The Wadden Sea is the largest tidal area in the world and because of the unique geological and ecological values it is listed as World Heritage by UNESCO. It is also unique in the world due toe the dynamic landscape shaped by wind and tides.
If you are looking for an active way to reach the islands, we strongly recommend that you walk. In the Netherlands we call this Wadlopen, or mudwalking. Yes, you read it correctly! Wadlopen is an environmental friendly and unique way to get to know the area around the Wadden Sea. Together with a local guide you walk with the tides to one of the islands. While walking the guide will tell you about the area you are in. It is a nice trip with fantastic views. Mostly you will also spot seals along the way. Your group will surely get new inspiration from this area!
Delft
For the last nights we leave Groningen and head to the west where we will stay in Delft. This authentic Dutch city has a rich history. Delft is the city know for its world famous Delfts blaauw (Delfts blue) cheramics and tiles, painted in blue. But Delft is also know as the city where the world famous painter Johannes Vermeer was born, lived and worked.
We get to know this nice city and due to the central location it is very easy to make daytrips to e.i. Den Haag, Rotterdam, Amsterdam and other interesting places.
If you want this tour to start from another city in the Netherlands, or turn the program upside-down, we will of course adjust our tours so that you will have a program that suits the wishes of your group!
Tulips and cheese
![Keukenhof and Feel Dutch](https://www.feel-dutch.com/app/uploads/Keukenhof-normal_jpg_1873-1024x670.jpg)
On this 6 days tour we travel from Groningen over the Afsluitdijk and end in Volendam, a charming and popular fishing village. From here we go on different day tours. The highlight of the tour is a visit to Keukenhof – the biggest garden in the world – full of colourful flowers in the spring. Of course we also take some time to visit Amsterdam with the characteristic canals and old houses. We will also visit a cheesefarm and take a walk in the historical city of Haarlem, just outside Amsterdam. Last but not least, we will visit Urk. Urk used to be an island, but is now in the middle of dry land.
This is a very nice tour which starts in Groningen. It fits groups who arrive in the Netherlands by bus. It is of course no problem to start the tour somewhere else.
Whether you arrive with a flight, bus, train or boat, we will start the tour from where you arrive.
