Our tour will start at approx. 9.30 a.m. at your hotel in Amsterdam.
We will drive to the River Amstel and along this river to the lovely village of 'Ouderkerk aan de Amstel.'
At Amstel River, we will stop at one of the windmills next to painter Rembrandt's statue for a photo shoot.
One can still discover a few country houses/ estates from the 'Golden Century' (between 1600 and 1700).
In that era, traders from Amsterdam became wealthy with international trade and built beautiful summer houses on the estates along rivers Vecht and Amstel.

After River Amstel, we will drive to the Vecht River region.
Nature, gardens, and estates are in a beautiful balance, making this river called 'the most beautiful' river in Holland.
