Day 1: After an early morning taxi collection we join our platinum executive tour coach and head to Kent for our crossing to France. Upon our arrival we continue our journey through France, Belgium and into the Netherlands and our hotel for the next 4 nights, the Hotel Walram on a dinner bed and breakfast basis.
Day 2: This morning we make our way to the Valkenburg Caves where we have an included guided train tour of the pre-historic municipal cave in the centre of Valkenburg. Valkenburg is full of quarries and caves, and this is one of the best! Believe it or not, the Municipal Cave in Valkenburg covers over 110 hectares! The cave is filled with limestone that used to be extracted by the Romans, but now you can admire the vast cave space covered in shells and other art! Tip: The caves stay around 12 degrees, so make sure to bring a jacket with you! The remainder of the day is at leisure to relax and explore Valkenburg’s quaint cobbled streets and pretty buildings. Situated at the crossroads of three countries, Valkenburg has long been a favourite destination on account of its exuberance and extremely varied appeal. Valkenburg, or 'the Marlstone Town' as it is known locally, is famous for its castle. Explore the quaint cobbled streets and beautiful buildings of this enchanting fortified town, or alternatively, relax with a glass of the local white beer.
Day 3: Today we enjoy a guided sightseeing tour to discover the hidden villages of South Limburg, stopping first at the 3 Countries viewpoint where the Netherlands and Germany meet Belgium - the perfect opportunity for a photo or two!. We then continue our tour rounding off the day at the Margraten US war cemetery. The cemetery is the final resting place of 8,289 U.S. WWII soldiers, of whom many died during Operation Market Garden in September 1944 or during the Allied push into Nazi-Germany. Among those buried in the cemetery are six recipients of the Medal of Honor, the highest U.S. military award for valor
Day 4: This morning we travel to Maastricht, the capital of the Limburg region. On arrival we include a 1 hour cruise through to the Belgium border, before returning to the city centre. This beautiful old city lies on the River Meuse and has a wealth of historic buildings, stylish shops and fine bars and restaurants.
Day 5: This morning after a leisurely breakfast we head back through Belgium and France to Calais for our crossing back to the UK. Upon our arrival we continue back to Norfolk where our taxi Service will be waiting to return you home.
