Exploring the Netherlands on a cultural tour

On separate itineraries we visit the world’s two finest collections of Van Gogh’s work, in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and the Kröller-Müller Museum in tiny Otterlo; linger not once but twice in the magnificent Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam (where works by Rembrandt and Vermeer abound); find time for the Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art, also in Amsterdam; and explore smaller museums such as the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem and the superb Mauritshuis in The Hague.

The Netherlands also feature in Charlemagne to Charles V, a tour dedicated to the art and architecture of the Low countries in the Middle Ages, and music tours including Mahler in Amsterdam and String Quartet Biennale.

Music Along the Rhine
" I had a spectacular time. Our tour manager and lecturer were excellent, the members of the group so lovely, and the art tour itself was brilliant. " Art in the Netherlands - A spectrum of the finest
" Superb. Introduced me to some new music and composers. Daily talk by Katy was outstanding – friendly and amusing as well as informative. " Music Along the Rhine - Outstanding music, beautiful countryside and historic towns along Germany’s principal river
" The quality of the performances was excellent as always with the musicians chosen being of the highest calibre... The venues were exciting for me as I had not visited any previously and loved the beauty and history of these places – I was quite entranced with the lovely Schloss Raesfeld and after the beautiful lieder performance, lost myself within its grounds while the second concert was on. The programme booklet as always, is a totally complete guide to the entire concert tour with incredible information on each of the performances including details of the lyrics and their translations that then become wonderful reference literature for me into the future. I have kept every one from your numerous music festivals that I have enjoyed over the years.
