NOTE: You will only be picked up from Charles de Gaulle Int'l airport in a shared van to our hotel in Paris.

PLEASE NOTE that private transfer services offer door-to-door, pricey, and should be booked in advance.

For some reasons (late arrival, etc.), there are several options. Please get in touch with me.

- Private transfer services offer door-to-door service and can be booked in advance.

Just a short journey away, Versailles dazzles with golden grandeur and sweeping symmetry, where every hall and garden echoes centuries of opulence and intrigue. Together, they offer a poetic contrast: one intimate and blooming with artistic soul, the other majestic and steeped in royal legacy.

June 29 Monday: WELKOM TO AMSTERDAM

In the heart of the city, bicycles glide past colorful to golden townhouses, tulips nod in window boxes, and the scent of fresh stroopwafels dances through the air. The Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum offer more than art - they offer communion with genius. And the Anne Frank House reminds us that courage blooms even in silence.

Jordaan whispers of artists and dreamers, with indie galleries and soulful cafés tucked into leafy lanes.
De Pijp pulses with global flavors, street markets, and the laughter of locals sharing late-night bites.
Noord surprises with its edgy art scene, repurposed shipyards, and ferry rides that feel like secret passages.
