Overview of your Amsterdam tour:

In the early 17th century a group of Reformed Protestants fled from politically and religiously hostile England to relative tolerant Holland. First these Puritans settled in Amsterdam, but then soon moved on to Leiden, where they lived from 1609 till 1620. Today we refer to them as the Pilgrims. In this tour we will follow the 'Pilgrimfathers' tracks'. We will visit various interesting historic locations in Amsterdam, Leiden and Delfshaven (Rotterdam). Transportation from city to city in a luxury sedan is included in the tourprice. Step back in time with me and stroll through the streets where your ancestors lived 400 years ago! Tour duration: 8 hours. The tour duration and itinerary can always be adjusted to your specific wishes. We can add other cities to the itinerary and also include a visit to the countryside and windmills. I will be happy to customize a tour for you.

Your Amsterdam tour itinerary

The tour can start in Leiden, Amsterdam, Rotterdam or in any other location. I will pick you up by car. In Rotterdam we will visit the old port of Delfshaven. From this harbour the pilgrims set sail to the New World in July 1620. In Leiden we will do a walking tour through it's beautiful historical centre. In the Pieterskerk area several traces can still be found of the pilgrims' presence of 400 years ago. And also of their contemporary fellow citizen, the young painter Rembrandt who was born and raised here! The Leiden American Pilgrim Museum can be visited on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 1:00-5:00 pm. In Amsterdam we will, among other, visit the English Reformed Church in the beautiful Begijnhof.
