There is too much to see in Amsterdam. For those who stay one day, I suggest a general Amsterdam tour with an historical walk in the most famous suburbs: Jordaan, the Dam, the Pipe, Canal tour, beguinage, Vondel park. It is relax to make the combination with with a boat trip, a visit to the Anne Frank museum, Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh museum or Hermitage.

HISTORY OF Netherlands: The Kingdom of the Netherlands was formed in 1815. In 1830 Belgium seceded and formed a separate kingdom. The Netherlands remained neutral in World War I, but suffered invasion and occupation by Germany in World War II. A modern, industrialized nation, the Netherlands is also a large exporter of agricultural products. The country was a founding member of NATO and the EEC (now the EU), and participated in the introduction of the euro in 1999.
ECONOMY OVERVIEW OF Netherlands: The Netherlands has a prosperous and open economy, which depends heavily on foreign trade. The economy is noted for stable industrial relations, moderate unemployment and inflation, a sizable current account surplus, and an important role as a European transportation hub. Industrial activity is predominantly in food processing, chemicals, petroleum refining, and electrical machinery. A highly mechanized agricultural sector employs no more than 4% of the labor force but provides large surpluses for the food-processing industry and for exports. The Netherlands, along with 11 of its EU partners, began circulating the euro currency on 1 January 2002. The country continues to be one of the leading European nations for attracting foreign direct investment. Economic growth slowed considerably in 2001-03, as part of the global economic slowdown, but for the four years before that, annual growth averaged nearly 4%, well above the EU average. The government is wrestling with a deteriorating budget position, and is moving toward the EU 3% of GDP budget deficit limit.

My tours excecuted especially outside of Amsterdam have an educational aspect. As a result of my long experience as a geography teacher I know my own country rather well, especially the geography of Holland, the struggle of the Dutch people against the sea and rivers, modern watermanagement and recent government schemes preparing the Dutch people for living in a country with rising waterlevels.

Trudy Allen: Hello, I am a travel agent who has 2 couples who would like to do a private post-cruise tour. She liked the one HOlland America set up (3 nights but 4 or 5 nights are possible) but doesn\\\'t want to go in a large bus. I can set up hotels (must be very upscale) or you can. they arrive in Rotterdam on the \\\"Rotterdam\\\" on 30 June next year. This tour was set up for pre-cruise, so it would be different. I think they would want to do Amsterdam and sights; the the Hague, Delft, Goudean Schoohoven and Kinderdijk and Delftshaven. Something on the order of 3-5 nights and include the tours. Please suggest good hotels that would be convenient. Thank you!

In the evening it would be possible to go to the waterfront restaurant New York , to have dinner in this building of the former emigration office and Holland America Line office . There is also a good hotel (New York) in the same building. The first day (July 1) a tour can be made visiting Delfshaven, Delft and the Hague. The second day (July 2 )it would be possible to visit Gouda (cheese town) and Schoonhoven (Silver town) , departing from the Rotterdam hotel On the third day (July 3 ) we will leave the Rotterdam hotel to visit the World Heritage monument of Kinderdijk( 19 windmills together) and go north , direction Amsterdam. On our way to Amsterdam we will ride through the so called Green Heart of Holland, alongside riverdikes and cross the river by ferry and see the rural landscape of this part of Holland (below sealevel) , During this tour I will provide information on geographical and historical aspects of Holland, the Dutch struggle against the waters of sea and river , watermanegement in Holand , agriculture , social life etc. and it will be possible to visit a cheese farm on the way to Amsterdam On the fourth day (July 4) it will be possible to visit Amsterdam , by a guided walking tour or a canal boat tour .The Convent Hotel in Amsterdam will be a good hotel for your clients I also render taxi services so I can always be at the disposal of your clients if they need transportation.

Answer about Netherlands Lut Van Hove: Hi Trudy, I give you hereby a list with, to my opinion, the most upscale (and also characteristic) hotels in the West of the courntry: 1 Amsterdam:   - Amstel Hotel   - Pullitzer hotel (centre, + € 250/nacht)   - hotel de l’Europe (ongeveer € 300/nacht)   - Grand Hotel Amrad(Hendrik Kade,€ 180/nacht)   What to do in Amsterdam?    -  walking tour in the canal district,Red Light District and the popular 'Jordaan'.   -  canal boat tour    -  Anne Frank museum    -  Stedelijk museum andVan Gogh museum    -  with nice weather: Vondelpark - very popular: Albert Cuyp market 2 The Hague/Scheveningen    -  Hotel Des Indes hotel(€ 150/night)    -  Kurhaus    Suggestions for a day out:    -  Mauritshuis (collection 15-16-17th century paintings)    -  Binnenhof, political centre    -  Community museum (modern art)    -  The Hague is great for shopping! Of course, prices are approximate. All the cities and attractins are a 20 minutes to 1 hour drive from The Hague. My advice would be to stay in The Hague and Amsterdam for the nights. I hope this will help you further for the moment. If you have some questions, let me know. Lut     
Answer about Netherlands Drs. Kees Kaldenbach: Hi Trudy Allen, For a client who wants an upmarket post-cruise tour of about 4 days the best choice is a tour guide who has a private car or minibus. When arriving in Rotterdam, the many windmills of Kinderdijk a bit to the south are a good option as a start and then landing at a centrally located hotel. Then going north again The Hague the Des Indes Hotel is top of the bill and there are various other a bit less expensive. I can certainly help with that. In Amsterdam the Dylan Hotel, or the Amstel Hotel or a smaller boutique hotel would be perfect. I feel that these specific guests deserve a made-to measure tour. So after exchanging personal emails and after phone contacts and checking their specific fields of interest a fitting itinerary can be drawn up. So that they will become completely happy. Greetings, Drs Kees Kaldenbach, Amsterdam, art historian.

Madelia: Hello, I adore flowers. Can you please suggest me some parks to visit. Are parks open all year round? Are there any flower parades organized and during which period of the year are these held? Thanks, Madelia
Answer about Netherlands Drs. Kees Kaldenbach: Hi Madelia, Indeed. Holland is the proverbial flower country in springtime. Most famous is the Keukenhof garden near Lisse, which is a landscaped park where the flower industry shows veritable seas of spectacular colorful tulips and other great floral items. Limited opening time only in spring, see internet. A movable feast with 3D flower ornaments on floats (exhibitions in 3D on flat wagons) is taking place only one weekend a year in between Lisse and Haarlem and it is called Bloemencorso. See internet. All over the Netherlands there are parks with tulips, roses, and the scientific parks are called Hortus Botanicus (Amsterdam, Leiden etc). Specialized botanical parks show trees from all over the world; one is situated in Hilversum. I would be glad to take you there in my car and give background on the history! Drs Kees Kaldenbach, Private Art Tours, Amsterdam.
