Your experience

Artistic awakening at Amsterdam's museums

Step into the vibrant world of Dutch Golden Age art with this comprehensive Amsterdam experience. Begin your day with an early morning visit to the Van Gogh Museum. It's intriguing to know that Van Gogh only sold one painting in his lifetime, but now, his art is adored globally. Explore his landscapes and self-portraits, like Tree Roots, often considered to be his last painting, before checking out Matthew Wong's exhibition that depicts his connection with Van Gogh. After a short lunch break, you'll head to Rijksmuseum, the city's most frequented attraction. See Rembrandt's Night Watch, a masterpiece that has darkened over time due to a 1940s varnish. With a local English-speaking guide, you'll get rich insights into works by legendary artists such as Vermeer and Rembrandt.

Canal Cruise: A New Perspective on Amsterdam

On completing the museum visits, board a canal boat for a scenic cruise. As you glide on Amsterdam's beautiful waterways, admire the city's architecture, and vibrant houseboats, and observe the cyclists bustling by. You'll travel through the UNESCO World Heritage-listed ‘Grachtengordel’, the intricate network of the city's canals.
