Imagine embarking on an exclusive van tour journey from the heart of Amsterdam, setting course to explore the enchanting Dutch landscapes and hidden gems.

The adventure begins at Zaanse Schans, a sight to behold where iconic windmills adorn the tranquil riverbank. Enjoy the serenity of this picturesque view at dawn, before the throngs of tourists descend.

From there, marvel at the Afsluitdijk, an astounding 32-kilometer-long water barrier that stands as a testament to Dutch water management prowess.

The itinerary then leads to the charming Sloten, the smallest amongst the 11 fabled Frisian cities. Wander along the canal, adorned with quaint houses and gables, before continuing the journey to the idyllic fishing village of Urk. There, the quaint white lighthouse and the historic seaside church, the village's oldest standing structure, await exploration.

The final stop is the fortified Hansa town of Elburg, where the middle ages come alive through narrow alleyways and verdant town walls.

This tour is a feast for the senses, a journey through time, and an unparalleled Dutch experience, all rolled into one!
