About this activity

Are you tired of city noise and a fast-paced lifestyle? Then we would highly recommend you to visit this tour on one of your first days in the Netherlands!

We believe, that blooming gardens, old wooden houses, cozy green alleys, and fabulous apple pie served for lunch on the banks of a canal overgrown with apple trees and hydrangeas are one of the best medicines against urban bustle!

Strolling along incredibly beautiful streets with a view of canals, infinite fields with wooden houses, farms, and wild swans.
