Itinerary
This 11-day guided tour brings Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands to you through the quiet wartime fields, cool canal air and the rasp of wood beneath a shoemaker’s blade. In Luxembourg, you follow sweet and savoury aromas to a farm-to-table feast at L’Écurie du Parc, a former horse stable turned restaurant. After dinner, you pass along the street below 12th-century Clervaux Castle, its pale walls high on the rocky promontory above the town. At the star-shaped Mardasson Monument, you follow the spiral staircase upwards, with the names and battle history carved into the stone around you, then step out to look across the fields where the Battle of the Bulge was fought. In Amsterdam, your boat drifts through the UNESCO-listed canal district, passing 16th-century merchant houses and Magere Brug, the slim white bridge over the Amstel. At the Rijksmuseum, a Local Specialist guides you to Rembrandt’s Night Watch, before you watch a shoemaker pare and shape traditional clogs by hand.
day 1Brussels Arrival and Grand Place Welcome
Your airport transfer takes you from Brussels airport to your centrally located hotel, with the afternoon free after check-in. Later, you join your Travel Director in the Old Town, where the small bronze Manneken Pis draws a crowd for a very Brussels kind of humour. The streets carry the sweet smell of waffles and warm sugar towards Grand Place, where gilded guildhalls, carved stone and the low murmur of voices gather around one of Europe's most beautiful squares. Dinner follows at a local restaurant nearby, where the room warms with clinking glasses, shared laughter and conversation with the people you'll travel with.
