A travel report on an eventful trip to Amsterdam.
Amsterdam, known for cheese, canals, tulips and coffeeshops. Last year, we had the pleasure of discovering and experiencing all of this with clients on their trip to Amsterdam. Amsterdam has far more to offer than just these stereotypes. This small but beautiful, vibrant city has plenty of sights to offer. Bianca with her adventure: a travel report from Amsterdam
Taste and discover Amsterdam
After arriving, the guests were welcomed by me, Bianca, the project manager on site, before an important company meeting took place at the hotel. After the work came the fun: discovering Amsterdam.
Our programme began on the first day with an authentic Dutch cheese tasting. Right in the centre of Amsterdam, at one of the city’s best cheese shops. Unfortunately, it had started raining very heavily at that point in our trip, so we warmed up with delicious cheese bites and complementary wine. We soon forgot about the bad weather. Towards the end of the first event, we welcomed our partners, with whom we spent three hours discovering Amsterdam. A bespoke city tour of the city’s most beautiful spots—an essential part of any trip to Amsterdam. The guests enjoyed exciting walking tours of Amsterdam in two groups and learned more about the Dutch metropolis in an interactive way. Afterwards, the guests had time to explore the city on their own. I also set off to explore for my adventure Travel report
.
In the evening, we continued to a restaurant, where we were served a wonderfully delicious 3-course meal. While some spent a relaxing evening at the restaurant, others said goodbye to enjoy Amsterdam’s nightlife.
Bike tour and photo comic
On the second day, the clients had a difficult choice to make. They had to choose between a bike tour towards the beach and dunes and a photo comic tour through Amsterdam. I took charge of the comic tour with one of the two groups. Armed with two Polaroid cameras, we set off for the centre of Amsterdam. I also had plenty of materials with me to help create a photo story. The aim of this team event was to bring the participants closer together and motivate them with a creative challenge. As the sun greeted us with a bright smile, we were able to round off our comic tour with visits to the flower market, the “I amsterdam” sign, the Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseum. A legendary comic emerged from a fun-loving and highly motivated group. A story about life and death, secret agents and intrigue. Over a cold beer and hot coffee, the participants created the comic book together. The participants on the bike tour were thrilled.
A boat trip through Amsterdam’s canals
Of course, my travel report on the trip to Amsterdam would not be complete without the final canal cruise. With food and drinks included, we rounded off two very lively and lovely days aboard our own boat. Over two hours, we had another opportunity to discover the capital of the Netherlands from the water. After travelling back independently, we headed home again on Sunday evening with lots of wonderful memories.
Why take a trip to Amsterdam?
Amsterdam may be small, but it is a beautiful and varied city. There is plenty to experience and discover. It is not far from the German border and is very easy to reach by bus, train, car or plane. Our clients had a great time and were delighted by the new experiences Amsterdam had to offer. And I am convinced that it was not their last Trip to Amsterdam
one. I hope this short adventure travel report has given you a little insight, and I will definitely visit Amsterdam again too.
