Euro Trip

We begin our trip with a coach pick-up from the pick-up point. Our Trip Leaders will ensure that everyone has arrived and is ready to depart.

We will make our way down to Dover for our ferry crossing over to Calais.

We will arrive in Amsterdam in the morning, where you will be able to drop off your bags before heading out to grab some lunch and explore the city.

In the afternoon, your Trip Leaders will help get you checked into the hostel.

You will have free time for the rest of the day!

We’ll arrange a private guided tour of the city so you can uncover Amsterdam’s hidden gems, historic neighbourhoods, and cultural highlights.
