Meet and greet at the hotel.

Alkmaar: A small picturesque town that got its city rights back in the 13th century. Surrounded by beautiful city canals on its border, the city is home to 400 monumental buildings. Every Friday, between March and September, the town hosts a cheese market dating back several centuries. You get to see windmills, old weighing houses, merchant homes, and the famous courtyards.

Drive to Hoorn, the city of the Golden Age. I will take you across the city of Hoorn, including the Old City centre, and the historic square and we will visit some of the monumental buildings associated with both the East and West India Company. Visit the lovely harbour and the famous West Frisian Museum.

As an alternative to Hoorn, we can offer De Rijp, a small but very charming village famous for old monumental buildings and canal houses with a wooden facade.
