School & College Tours to the Dutch Coast

Noordwijk Aan Zee is a delightful resort on the Dutch coast, and a firm favourite with Equity groups. The resort is ideally located in the heart of the Dutch bulbfields countryside, and within 45 minutes of both Amsterdam and The Hague.

Valkenburg is another great choice for British schools. The city has a vast choice of educationally rich excursions, from a space centre and model coal-mine to a circus training school and open air theatre. This historic city has a safe pedestrianised centre that was originally mined by the Romans and there is a labyrinth of caves to explore. Experience seeing 4 countries at once from Valkenburg’s ruined castle and Wilhelmina Tower.

  • Valkenburg Caves - The local marlstone was already being used as a building material in Roman times.  The underground quarrying of the stone has left a series of caves - the Gemeentegrot (Municipal Cave), which was used as a bomb shelter during the Second World War; the Fluweelen Caves; and the Panorama Cave, with an exhibition illustrating the origins and development of man.
  • Wilhelmina Tower - From the top of the 30m high tower (160 steps), there is a pretty view over the verdant surrounding area of the town.
  • Toboggan - From the top of the Wilhelmina Tower you can have a toboggan run to the bottom of the hill.
  • Rhine Boat Trip - Enjoy a relaxing tour of the Rhine river on a boat trip.
