What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Please indicate in which hotel you sleep. It's the easiest to meet at your hotel as long as it is at a central location. I do pick ups at each hotel in Central Amsterdam, also at the ones not explicitly listed above as long as they are located in Central Amsterdam. I pick guests up at the Passenger Terminal Amsterdam (PTA, this is the docking location of almost all sea Cruise ships), and at the most common docking locations of rivercruiseships like those of Viking and Ama at De Ruyterkade Oost and the Ruyterkade West. In other cases we will have to agree upon a central, easily recognizeable meeting place. Usually that is near central station. Please provide an emailadress and cell phone number of a contact person as we might have to discuss a start location other than your hotel.
