Morning city tour of Amsterdam. See the Royal Palace, Dam Square, and a diamond cutting factory. Visit the Rijksmuseum to admire Rembrandt's "the Night Watch". In the afternoon enjoy a canal cruise, as Amsterdam is best seen from the water.
Day 3 Amsterdam
Today you travel to the village of Marken, a former fishermen's village with an open connection to the sea. Since the setting of the enclosure Dike, the sea became a lake and all the fishermen's villages lost their traditional livelihood.

Continue on to the charming city of Delft, Vermeer's birthplace, and a city known for its Delftware, the famous blue and white pottery.
