Itinerary
Meeting your Tour Manager and fellow travellers at London St Pancras this morning, you board the Eurostar, travelling through France and Belgium to the Dutch port city of Rotterdam.
On arrival, your group continues by coach to Delft, where you enjoy a guided tour to the Royal Delft porcelain factory, famous for manufacturing the artistically designed Delft Blue pottery. This iconic blue and white earthenware has been manufactured in this city since the 17th century in the style of traditional Chinese Porcelain.
There is free time to explore this historic city that was once the seat of the royal house of Orange as well as being the birthplace of artist Johannes Vermeer, whose works include the Girl with the Pearl Earring. Overlooked by the piercing towers of the Gothic Old and New churches, Delft's charming centre is criss-crossed by tranquil canals and is a delight to stroll around.
This evening, you transfer to your hotel in central Utrecht for four nights. You get to know your group over dinner in the hotel tonight.

Tour and leader were great downside was St Pancras, I’ve seen cattle in better condition than the departure lounge and there was nowhere to sit. Will never travel Eurostar again.

Keukenhof is stunning. Plus very good 2 hour guided tour of Amsterdam. Hotel extremely convenient above shopping centre and adjacent to the train station. I would certainly do this trip again.

Thoroughly enjoyable break. The only thing didn’t like was the fact that our hotel did not provide the evening meals on its premises. We had to go to Crown Plaza, couple of doors away. The Hampton by Hilton provided facilities for breakfast , but not diinner . I feel the price we paid for holiday should include all evening meals on its own premises

A very enjoyable holiday. The gardens of Keukenhof were beautiful and Utrecht was a lovely place to stay with an excellent hotel close to the station with a good buffet breakfast and 2 excellent dinners provided. Our excellent tour manager Wendy provided just the right amount of support and advice and we wouldn't hesitate in recommending this holiday.
