Day 2 - Amsterdam
Bike then Booze

With more bicycles than people, Amsterdam is a clean, smog-free city ripe for riding, and today's all about navigating like a local. 

With our expert guide leading the pack, wind through the hip and trendy Jordaan neighborhood. Snake through peaceful cobblestone streets and over centuries-old bridges. Discover cafe culture, laid-back vibes, arts, and a society famous for tolerance and acceptance. And then head off on your own: consider a picnic in leafy green Vondelpark or sniff out the sweet scents of the famous flower market.

Later on, we'll get together at a local rum distillery where you’ll craft your very own botanical blend. And then as the sun (and rum) go down, we’ll keep the good times rolling and head out to hit the bars and clubs—local nightlife is famous for a reason, and in the summer, the excitement spills out onto terraces and outdoor patios. 

  
Day 3 - Amsterdam

A Gouda Time

If that night on the town went a little late, take the morning for some R&R before you meet up with the rest of the crew around midday. 

From Gouda to Edam (both are named after nearby towns), in the Netherlands, dairy plays an outsized role in culture and age-old traditions. Today, we’ll taste our way across the country with a cross-sample of delicious local bites—from the creamy to the smooth, the buttery, even the smoky; we’ll try them all. The afternoon is free for everyone to explore one (or two) of Amsterdam’s impressive museums: fall in love with Van Gogh’s sunflowers or learn a powerful, moving story in the famous Anne Frank House.

That evening, we’ll all get together to cap off our Amsterdam escape over a farewell dinner and perhaps a Heineken or Amstel to celebrate in local style.
