The traditional European Easter tour could probably be traced back to Holland. Even today it is still as popular as ever, offering a great standard of sport, accommodation, culture and food. What more could you ask for?
SPORTS & SEASONS
Rugby
Sep-May
Rugby is played across the country at clubs and it is easy to base yourselves in one spot and then travel to the fixtures. There is also excellent post-match hospitality.
Hockey
Aug-May
An excellent standard for both boys and girls. Knowing how well the Orange Army do in World Cups and Olympic Games tells you just how well supported the hockey is here. A range for all levels, excellent for festivals as well as pre or post season tours.
Football
Sep-May
Extremely popular for football tours with an excellent club set up. There are some great opportunities to have professional coaching at clubs such as Ajax.
Cricket
APR-SEP
CULTURE
Steeped in history, you are never far from a museum or art gallery. Although known for their liberalism, they are extremely organized and welcoming, which probably stems from their history of being such an important link in the trading routes into Europe through their famous ports!
Activities
A cycling tour of Amsterdam is a great way to see the city like a local, or a canal cruise for the less energetic. Duinrell Tiki Pool is a great water park for all ages. In Amsterdam a visit to Anne Frank’s house combines history with real life.
Accommodation
The hostel set up across Holland is first class and offers great value for money. In the city centres, there are good chains that offer exactly what they say on the tin.
