Europe’s World War History: Holland, Belgium & France Tour

Your adventure starts in Amsterdam. Arrive to a private transfer and settle into your boutique hotel before experiencing the city’s famous waterways from a new perspective. A canal-side dinner cruise introduces the city at its most atmospheric, gliding under softly lit bridges as evening descends.

Spend the following days exploring the Rijksmuseum on a private tour, discovering masterpieces by Rembrandt and Vermeer, and gaining insight into the Dutch Golden Age. Explore the streets of the Jordaan, browse independent boutiques, and pause at riverside cafés. A visit to the Anne Frank House brings a moment of quiet reflection – a personal story set against the backdrop of world history.

Continue your European journey with a train to Paris, followed by a private transfer to Bayeux in Normandy. Here, time seems to slow. Wander the medieval streets and admire the famous Bayeux Tapestry, an 11th-century masterpiece that recounts the Norman conquest of England in extraordinary detail.

The following day focuses on the D-Day landing beaches. Here, you will explore Arromanches, Omaha and the Normandy American Cemetery, accompanied by an expert historian. These landscapes, peaceful today, hold immense historical weight. The experience is both grounding and deeply moving.

Evenings offer quiet comfort in your country château, surrounded by gardens and open skies.

A private driver will take you back to Paris for your onward journey. As the countryside fades into the city skyline, take a moment to reflect on the contrasts you’ve experienced: the art of Amsterdam, the remembrance of Ypres, the quiet dignity of Normandy and the wonder of Mont-Saint-Michel.
