Amsterdam/Northern Holland Tour

  After 2 very successful summer tours of Amsterdam and Northern Holland (pictures from 2005 2006) we are excited to be repeating and improving upon this tour in the future. The tour is usually planned for April because it is Tulip season! Flowers and gardens are at their most beautiful, and airfares (when compared to summer fares) are quite attractive as well.

Travel to old Europe to experience the beautiful, tolerant, liberal, lively city of Amsterdam and visit a women's guesthouse in northern Holland. Let us introduce you to one of our favorite cities as we explore the sites: the Anne Frank House, Van Gogh museum, street markets, and Keukenhof - a garden that rivals any in the world, at it's peak with Dutch bulbs this time of year. We'll do a walking tour of the city, bike the canals, enjoy an informative boat tour through the city center. We'll visit lesbian cafes and bars, check out coffeeshops and the red light district.

You can choose between a well appointed luxurious hotel room or a budget option at a comfortable, safe, popular hostel, sharing a room with other see jayne play tour travelers. These accommodations are in a quiet block, just steps from Vondel Park and the Museumplein. We consider this the ideal location for an Amsterdam city tour.

After a week of exploring Amsterdam, we'll leave the hustle of the city and travel north to a women-owned guesthouse on the edge of a small Dutch village. On the way, we'll visit a traditional Dutch village with working windmills, a cheese making demonstration and a giftshop. While relaxing at the guesthouse, we'll spend a day at a wonderful spa, experience authentic Dutch hospitality, take walks amongst the tulip fields, listen to music in the evening, and gather 'round the campfire for stories and laughter with our hosts. Kayaks and bikes are available for rent.

This tour is for women (all are welcome, most are lesbian) who are active and adventuresome. Our small group size allows you to intimately experience the local Dutch culture and lesbian scene. We won't exactly blend in, but maybe almost
