Itinerary
Meeting your Tour Manager and fellow travellers at London St Pancras this morning, you board the Eurostar, travelling through France and Belgium to the Dutch port city of Rotterdam.
On arrival, your group continues by coach to Delft, where you enjoy a guided tour to the Royal Delft porcelain factory, famous for manufacturing the artistically designed Delft Blue pottery. This iconic blue and white earthenware has been manufactured in this city since the 17th century in the style of traditional Chinese Porcelain.
There is free time to explore this historic city that was once the seat of the royal house of Orange as well as being the birthplace of artist Johannes Vermeer, whose works include the Girl with the Pearl Earring. Overlooked by the piercing towers of the Gothic Old and New churches, Delft's charming centre is criss-crossed by tranquil canals and is a delight to stroll around.
This evening, you transfer to your hotel in central Utrecht for four nights. You get to know your group over dinner in the hotel tonight.

The trip was lovely. The only downside was the coach was rather tatty.

The holiday is well planned and enjoyable. My only negative comment would be that we arrived at the hotel at about 6pm after a long day. It took ages for everyone to check in to the hotel. Surely, our room keys and check in forms could have been prepared for us in advance?

The visit to Delft did not happen because the big coaches cannot go into the centre and several of the group were unable to walk for 15 minutes into the centre. (We did visit the ceramic factory). A hotel in Amsterdam would have been better with Utrecht as a day visit.
