Itineraries and pricing may vary by departure year
From Belgium's forgotten gem, Antwerp, discover the magnificent flowers of Floralia and kaleidoscopic displays of Keukenhof Gardens.
After meeting at Rail Discoveries' dedicated Departure Office, leave St Pancras International by Eurostar to Brussels. Here you connect with a local train to Antwerp.
Travel by coach to the Floralia Spring Flower Exhibition, hosted at Château de Grand-Bigard. Over four weeks in the grounds of this marvellous stately home, over 400 floral varieties are put on display, bringing a magnificent cornucopia of colour to the manicured gardens. Indoor gardens here also hold a superb array of flowers from around the world.
Your next visit is to the National Botanic Garden of Belgium, located in the grounds of Bouchout Castle and boasting over 18,000 plant species.
This morning you enjoy a walking tour of Antwerp with a local guide. The tour includes the Grote Markt, which is lined with wonderfully grand, gabled Guild Houses and is home to the large town hall and the famous Brabo Fountain. You are then free to continue exploring Antwerp - you could visit the beautiful Gothic cathedral or Rubens House. You can also explore the Diamond District, where 70% of the world's diamonds are traded.
You travel by coach over the border into the Netherlands, continuing to Delft, one of the prettiest towns in the country which is famous for its pottery. You are free to explore Delft at your own pace. You could visit the Royal Delft porcelain factory, where the distinctive 'Delft Blue' design is made.
This afternoon, continue to the famous Keukenhof Gardens, the world's largest flower garden. The gardens only open in the spring displaying a powerful burst of colour and providing an incredible seasonal display of tulips, crocuses, daffodils and other flowering plants.
Transfer to Antwerp station for the train to Brussels and your onward connection on the Eurostar to London St Pancras.

The trip to Delft was so disappointing. Not enough time to see this town. The walk from the coach park took such a chunk of our visiting time. Although the coach was not allowed ( seemingly only if you held a German international driving plate ). Both my wife and I were very greatly disappointed with the hotel room. No air conditioning. British station on TV not accessible. A bathroom that did not accommodate the size of an adult. Neither of us are grossly overweight but found using the bathroom extremely depressing inconvenient and bordering on claustrophobic. The toppers on our beds kept moving. To get into and out of one of our beds it was necessary to shuffle sideways. Noise not only of local building works but also in the hotel definitely interrupted my wife's sleep. Insufficient storage space. 5 coat hangers and only open shelving - no drawers. For one night ok but not for 4 nights for two people. No safe in our room as we had believed - only one in reception. Julie,our tour guide was excellent.
Everything went to plan thank you.
Well organised and very interesting tour
Well organised, rooms at the Ibis a little snug, Keukenhoff exceptional, could have done with a longer visit.
The Eurostar was a new experience for us - a very smooth journey. The trips were well organised & our tour guide very helpful. The highlights were the Keukenhof Gardens & the Floralia Spring Show.
A well organised short holiday. The only problem was the dinner on the first night (which was included in the cost of the holiday). There was quite a long walk to the restaurant and the service was very slow..
it was well organised and lead; we were kept informed of developments, timings and expectations of each day
We had a lovely time although the rooms were small they were adequate. The food we had was excellent. Gavin was very informative and took us to two excellent restaurants.
Holiday excellent even though our brochure had printing errors This has been discussed in a telephone conversation and we regard the request to complete a survey as totally unnecessary.
The holiday seemed well organised, with the traveling aspect made easy. All the planned excursions were very enjoyable, and lived up to my expectations. I would have liked to have more time in Delft.
