Day 1
One of our most popular tours, the 3 day coach tour to Amsterdam & Bruges. Coach pick up points in London (Hammersmith, Great Portland Street, Embankment and Lewisham), Canterbury, Ramsgate and Dover. Early morning transfers are also arranged from Cambridge and Oxford to join the coach in London. From Dover we depart on the 09:30 ferry to Calais and arrive in Amsterdam in the afternoon, where we check in to  one of our fantastic accommodation choices:

OPTION 1 - The excellent St.Christophers at the Winston. A unique hostel in the heart of Amsterdam, located between Dam Square and the Red Light District, walking distance to the vast majority of major attractions the city has to offer. The Winston also has Amsterdam's one and only Belushi's bar with great food and drink promotions all year round and a funky nightclub 'The Winston Kingdom' where you can sample some great live entertainment. Rooming is based on 3-6 bedded ensuite rooms. Twin rooms available for a £15 per person per night supplement.

OPTION 2 - HOTEL UPGRADE – On all Amsterdam tours we offer an accommodation upgrade for those customers looking for some extra comfort after a long day sightseeing. Upgrade to our 3 star  Terminus hotel for only £20 per person per night for twin/double rooms. The hotel is located in Amsterdam City Centre, walking distance to Dam Square. All rooms are nicely decorated and offer all the comfort one can expect from a hotel of this standard. The hotel has a bar, restaurant and 24 hour reception.
