Simply put, the Netherlands is truly one of a kind. Skipping it on a tour would be a missed opportunity. This small, welcoming country—often called Holland—is celebrated for its vibrant tulip fields, iconic windmills, and world-famous artists like Rembrandt and Van Gogh.

The Dutch national basketball team represents the Netherlands in international competitions and is governed by the Netherlands Basketball Federation. The team has reached the final four of the European Championship once and has advanced to the playoffs on several occasions. Notable Dutch players who have competed in the NBA include Rik Smits, Francisco Elson, and Dan Gadzuric, highlighting the country’s contributions to professional basketball at the highest level.

​

Amsterdam has something for everyone: Van Gogh and Rembrandt museums, unique merchant-house architecture, the Anne Frank House, historic canals crossed by 1,000 bridges, and flowers and diamonds. You can walk everywhere with ease, and nowhere in the world will you find friendlier or prouder people. Volendam and Zaanse Schans, north of Amsterdam, provide a look at the Holland of a few centuries ago, including (of course!) windmills and traditional wooden shoes. South of Amsterdam is Leiden, dating from Roman times, and Delft, where 300 artists paint porcelain the traditional way.
