Tulips and Canals!
5 Days | Starting at $3,600
Picture yourself in Amsterdam …
At the height of Tulip Season!
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
The bright and bustling capital of the Netherlands is a traveler’s dream — with breathtaking architecture, miles of canals throughout the city, the famous food markets, annual festivals for every taste, art museums featuring the classic Dutch artists and of course the food tastings, beer tastings and so much more!
Let Bliss and Wendy share our extensive knowledge of the museums, neighborhoods, historic sites, cuisine, sophisticated beers, and the charming people with you! We provide Bliss Insider access to this fun and artsy city’s extensive network of canals, world-class museums, the boisterous neighborhoods, and the meaningful sights and architecture in our relaxed, off-the-beaten-path style.
Great wine and food is what Bliss Travels is all about. Amsterdam offers its own wonderful cuisine — seafood, pancakes like no others, delicious beers brewed by centuries-old breweries — and a vast array of international fare from Indonesia, Surinam, the Caribbean and more. Bliss loves Amsterdam, and we’ll take you to exclusive locales for private events and tastings not available to most tourists.
And if you love tulips as much as we do, you are in for the treat of a lifetime - a visit to the world-famous Keukenhof Gardens to experience every variety of tulip you can imagine, all in full, bursting bloom!
“Thank you! It was an awesome trip, and I am so happy I did it. Great to spend time with you and meet some great people”
Bliss itineraries are different
Our itineraries continue to evolve because we are constantly looking for new and unique things to see and do. We tailor our trips to the travelers attending, and select events to best fit their preferences. Providing Bliss-only access to our private venues means we sometimes have to work around personal schedules.
What you see below is our best representation - before the trip is booked and we begin getting to know you - of what you can always expect from Bliss, and what our most popular events, menus and venues from past trips are. Every Bliss trip includes our private “Insider” excursions and events — there will be an exclusive wine-tasting, there will be multi-course chef meals and curated wine pairings, there will be excursions to must-see sites hosted by a private guide — but some of the dates and details may change. And we’ll be ready. That’s why we keep our schedules relaxed and leisurely!
“Thank you again for making our first trip to Europe magical ❤️. The experiences you created and shared with us will forever be etched in our memories and carried in our hearts”
