In the morning I will wake up bright and early and whip round the Randstad and pick you all up from your front door ❤️
Depending on your particular address, I'll aim to pick you up before 8am. However the closer you are to our destination point, then the later I will head to your house. The exact time will be fixed when the whole group has been formed.

A typical order is as follows. First I'll head to Rotterdam, then The Hague,  Leiden and Haarlem.  After that I'll drive up to Amsterdam, and finally followed by Utrecht. In most cases though we pick people up from one or two population centres. We try to be as flexible as possible

8:00 — Pick up right from your door

Our first stop is 2 hours away. We will use this time to get to know each other and tell each other the stories of how we moved and settled into the Netherlands.

Since there will be 9 of us, the time will fly by unnoticed! 

Getting to knooow you ♪ 

Within 2hours from Randstad we will get to the southernmost and most special province of the Netherlands - Limburg. Here we will stop for lunch and walk around the town of Sittard.

The population of Sittard is only 37,500 people. Two features stand out in particular  here:

1️⃣ The city is located on the very border with Germany, and along its streets, right from the centre on foot you can quietly step into to the neighbouring German city.

2️⃣ Noya Vladimir Trembovolsky lives in Sittard — the founder of the NL Startup Program community and a high-tech startup with patents and grants for half a million euros 🤑

Noya Vladimir loves Sittard and Limburg. He will show and tell us about why he chose this particular city to live in NL. We will find out how Limburg ticks, and we will also reveal its advantages in addition to the cost of housing - which is 3-4 times cheaper there than Amsterdam prices 😉

11:00 — Lunch and Stroll in Sittard

After walking around Sittard, we will immediately cross the Dutch-German border and in a little over an hour, by lunchtime, we will have arrived in Monschau.

Monschau is an incredible medieval village nestled in the high hills in the Eifel National Park. Here one absolutely has to walk, take snaps and soak up the atmosphere. Monschau is as if you have teleported into another reality.

In addition to incredibly beautiful views, we will be able to visit the most unusual coffee shop on the planet - they roast coffee beans and, at the same time, brew beer! Sometimes founders mix their two crafts together and make coffee beer! I'm sure very few of you will have tried such a beverage before. 😉

Even in the suburbs of Monschau, we will encounter one of the most unusual legacies of the First World War. Right at the entrance to the city is the famous Vehnbahn - the German railway, which, together with the several meters of land adjacent to it, was given to Belgium as a result of the Treaty of Versailles, and thus cuts this region of Germany into two parts with a narrow strip-enclave of Belgium.

The railway was taken out of use and dismantled at the beginning of the 21st century. Now in its place is one of the most famous cycling routes with a length of 125 kilometers. At the same time, the bike path is Belgium, but if you step only a couple of meters away from it in any direction - and you are in Germany.

The parties are still arguing about the ownership of this road.

14:30 — Monschau

Travel time to Amsterdam is 3 hours. We will return home around 8 pm.

On the way back, we exchange impressions and post tons of photos and videos from the trip on social networks.

Network trip to Limburg and Magical Monschau 

In the morning I will wake up bright and early and whip round the Randstad and pick you all up from your front door ❤️

Depending on your particular address, I'll aim to pick you up around 9am. However the closer you are to our destination point, then the later I will head to your house. The exact time will be fixed when the whole group has been formed.

A typical order is as follows. First I'll head to Amsterdam, then Haarlem, Leiden, and The Hague. If you live in Utrecht or Rotterdam, I'd kindly ask you to arrive to one of the destinations on our way.

9:00 — Pickup from your door or focal point

Do not eat breakfast before traveling. As before leaving Holland, we will stop by a restaurant in the courtyard of one of the oldest castles in the country. It was first mentioned back in 1226! Throughout history, the castle has never been sold and been passed from generation to generation.

We'll get to know each other better over breakfast and share our individual stories ❤️

After breakfast, we will walk around the property and look at the sophisticated castle built right in the middle of the pond. We'll try and find some tame peacocks as the family of birds move freely around the estate.

10:00 — Introducing the royal breakfast at the palace with a peacock

Many consider the Netherlands to be a middle-class country. This is true, but getting rich here isn't outlawed. We even have our own Beverly Hills with luxurious mansions and collectible cars in the parking lot. Nearby is the palace where the royal family lives.

We will pass through the most interesting streets of Wassenaar, visit the grounds of two castles here and be dazzled but the wealth of old and new

11:00 — Wassenaar: The Netherland's most wealthy suburb

After a one-hour drive, we will finally end up on the very border of two Dutch provinces: South Holland and Zeeland. The first acquaintance with Zealand will be truly epic: a huge levee, which gives mind more to a desert than a levee, with sand from the coast, blown by the wind directly onto the roadway. A house on wooden stilts struts out of the water - just like in "Nights in Rodanthe" and buggies criss-cross along the beach - a very peculiar and special sport that is typical for this part of the North Sea coast.

We will make a short stop to breathe in the salty air and walk through the incredible scenery.

13:00 — Holland-Zeeland border at the impressive Brouwersdam levee

Just 20 minutes from the Zeelandian border is a small family winery "De Kleine Schorre". In total, about 50 thousand bottles of white wine are produced here annually.

The local wine is especially tasty, fruity and aromatic due to the fact that historically the soil at this winery was at the bottom of the ocean - it was drained only a few centuries ago. As a result, the soil is saturated with minerals, thanks to which the grapes are especially suitable for winemaking.

Although the winery is quite small and has retained the charm of locality and family, there is a cosy restaurant where we will arrange a tasting of all sorts of wines with you. I am always pleasantly surprised by the quality of the wine here - one of the most beloved varieties of European white wine 'Auxerois' is produced here. And the products of local winemakers have received a number of awards. KLM chose this Zeelandic winery as the exclusive supplier for wine on board its aircraft. Definitely a must to visit! 🍷

14:00 — Local Zeeland Family Winery Tasting

40 minutes after the end of our tour of the winery, we will arrive at another special place, this time on the neighbouring island - the oyster village of Yerseke. It is called oyster because even 150 years ago, local residents here massively engaged in the production of oysters. In the centre of the village, on the very shore of the salty bay, there is a large pool, in which dozens of houses - oyster farms - stand on stilts. Most of them have restaurants.

We will stop by one of the best restaurants in terms of value for money to sample the local Zeeland oysters. By the way, they turn out to be incredibly tasty - after all, the Zeelandian climate is especially suitable for these shellfish 😍

16:00 — Everything Oysters

Less than 30 minutes from the oyster farm is the capital of Zealand is the city of Middleburg. Middleburg is the smallest provincial capital in the Netherlands with just under 50,000 people.

Despite its size, Middleburg is a true hidden gem. The city looks richer and more well-groomed than many other Dutch cities. It appears as aristocratic, fit, smart - like from the picture. But the highlight of Middleburg, from my point of view, is its preserved old medieval quarters with narrow cobblestone streets, where you feel like you are in the middle of a medieval fairy-tale! 

18:00 — Middelburg - the Capital of Zeeland

Travel time to Rotterdam is only an hour and a half. Amsterdam is two and a half. We will try to get home before 10 pm.

On the way back, we exchange impressions and post tons of photos and videos from the trip on social networks. By the way, if you make a comment or a post, tell us about your impressions on Instagram and tag our @localie.co account - we will send you a promo code with a discount for your next trip 😉

See you next time! 

19:30 — Head off home 🏡
