Meet up with your Contiki Crew before we hit the road and take a ferry past the White Cliffs of Dover. Next stop: the buzzing, freewheeling city of Amsterdam.

Start your tour off with a night to remember. Check out Amsterdam’s eye-opening Red Light District, where the creative and wacky come together on narrow cobbled streets, 24/7.

Today, an included visit to the Keukenhof Gardens where Dutch bulb producers compete for display space – of the 10,000 bulb growers in Holland only 100 are selected to donate bulbs for the displays. The Keukenhof Gardens are the main attraction in springtime and are the largest bulb gardens in the country with over 6 million tulips and other bulb flowers in bloom. This afternoon, free time to explore the streets of Amsterdam before an opportunity to visit the picturesque fishing village of Volendam and enjoy some traditional Dutch cuisine.

A short drive this morning takes us into the Dutch countryside to visit a cheese and clog making farm and enjoy a bicycle ride through the cobble-stoned streets of Edam with a stop at a windmill. This afternoon, spend your free time wandering along the canals, souvenir shopping or visiting famous museums such as the Van Gogh Museum or Anne Frank’s House.
