The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Ride with a specialist historian through the streets, bridges, and battlefields where Operation Market Garden unfolded in September 1944. Utterly vivid, deeply moving, and impossible to replicate independently.
Step inside the Netherlands' oldest city's finest museum, built over the ruins of Charlemagne's imperial palace. Roman artefacts, Carolingian treasures, and Dutch Golden Age paintings reward the intellectually curious traveller.
Discover 2,000 years of the Netherlands' oldest city on a bespoke private walking tour with a passionate local guide — from Roman ruins and medieval lanes to the lively Grote Markt.
Glide by e-bike through the Ooijpolder, a lush UNESCO-listed floodplain nature reserve directly across the Waalbrug bridge — wild horses, migrating birds, and vast river panoramas await.
Ascend the tower of Nijmegen's magnificent 13th-century Stevenskerk for sweeping views over the Waal valley, then explore a church twice destroyed and twice reborn — a testament to Dutch resilience.
Board a classic Dutch riverboat for a leisurely Waal cruise paired with unlimited traditional Dutch pancakes — a convivial, quintessentially Dutch experience seen from the water.
