Cruise Amsterdam’s canals, visit colourful tulip fields & discover the Dutch countryside on our five-day accessible Netherlands holiday.
Amsterdam
Canals, Windmills & Colourful Tulips
With its world-famous canals and its vibrant cultural district, the Museumplein, Amsterdam is a thrilling, innovative and, above all, beautiful city that enchants and delights in equal measure. But there is a lot more to the Netherlands than its remarkable capital. From the colourful sweep of expansive tulip fields to its remarkable dykes and fascinating history of land reclamation, there is a huge amount to love in the Low Countries.
Your 5-Day Accessible Holiday Itinerary
From the windmills of De Rijp to Amsterdam's iconic waterways, our accessible holiday is the perfect introduction to the Netherlands. It begins with a guided coach tour of UNESCO-designated De Rijp, where you will discover spectacular countryside and learn about the dams and dykes that define the region. Next comes a visit to the Keukenhof Tulip Garden, where we’ll explore the cultural and economic significance of the most famous of Dutch flowers. Finally, an accessible cruise of Amsterdam’s canals is the perfect way to get to know the country’s wonderful capital.

Itinerary
Day 1Travel to Amsterdam
After meeting the Limitless Team at the airport special assistance desk, we’ll make our way through security and head for our boarding gate together. We recommend booking special assistance with the airport before flying if required, but the Limitless team will also be on hand to provide additional support as we check in and board the plane. We're there to ensure the airport experience is as easy as possible, advocate on your behalf, and give you the confidence to fly, so we'll be by your side throughout the journey.
On arrival at our destination, the Limitless Team will help you through the airport and onto the awaiting accessible transfer vehicle. From there, it’s on to your excellent disabled-friendly hotel, where we’ll check in, get you settled and comfortable in your room, and enjoy a delicious evening meal with your fellow guests.
Day 2De Rijp Guided Coach Tour
De Rijp
On your first full day in the Netherlands, we will head out for a guided coach tour of the countryside surrounding De Rijp. A small town in the north of the Netherlands, De Rijp is famous for the role it played in developing the dams, dykes and other land-reclamation technologies that facilitated the creation of modern Holland.
Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it offers a fascinating insight into the country’s history, boasts some of the region’s most spectacular countryside and is home to more than a few windmills! You’ll enjoy plenty of time to browse the local shops and visit one of the town’s many cafés before we learn a little more about local culture at a traditional cheese and clog factory.
Day 3Keukenhof Tulip Garden
The Netherlands is the home of the tulip. In fact, the tulip has played such an important role in Dutch history that ‘tulip mania’ was the cause of a devastating economic crash in the 17th century. On Day Three of your accessible holiday, we will make our way to the world-famous Keukenhof Gardens, where you’ll learn all about this valuable flower and what it means to the Dutch people and economy.
Located a short drive southwest of Amsterdam, we will board our accessible transport for a quick, easy journey out to the gardens. With over 7 million bulbs planted every year and 800 types of tulips in the gardens, this is definitely a day for our green-fingered guests.
Day 4Accessible Amsterdam Cruise
Your final full day on holiday is all about the magnificent Dutch capital, where we will take to the water for an accessible cruise of Amsterdam’s world-renowned canals. With more than 60 miles of UNESCO-designated waterways, the majority of which were built during the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century, there’s no better way to get to know this striking city than with a relaxing guided boat tour.
Later, we’ll visit the Museumplein, Amsterdam’s cultural heart and home to an astounding number of highly-regarded museums and galleries, including the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum and the Stedelijk Museum. It’s also a great place to grab a drink, tuck into some delicious local treats and watch the world go by.
Day 5Airport Transfer & Flight Home
Today, your accessible Dutch holiday comes to an end. After breakfast, the Limitless Team will help you transfer to the airport. We’ll be on hand to help you through the airport, while you’re boarding the plane and during your flight. Once we touch down in the UK, we’ll accompany you through to arrivals and wave you off on your journey home. We’ll see you next time!
