In the afternoon we will take a casual walking tour in the capital of North Holland, Haarlem, one of our most fascinating cities, just a few miles away from Amsterdam, but so much more authentic. It is smaller, but its equally illustrious past is apparent in the magnificent “Grote Markt”, often considered the most beautiful square in the country.

Photograph Keukenhof Gardens before it opens to the public at 6 am. Enjoy a full day in one of the most impressive public gardens in the world. Open only nine weeks out of the year, the Keukenhof is a visual feast for the eyes. There are more than seven million bulbs planted on over 70-acres. For the adventurous photographers we will rent bikes for a few hours and bike through the stunning flower fields near the Keukenhof.

In Alkmaar cheese is still made in the time-honored way. The Friday market is world famous, for photographing the actual transportation weighing and trading takes place, in a colorful setting. We will have a special private portrait session with the “cheese men”.
After lunch we will go to “Zaansche Schans”, a reconstructed village of wooden houses and windmills, transporting us 300 years into the past. There are only 975 windmills left in all of The Netherlands, but in this place of unspoiled beauty you can photograph many of them.
Afterwards we will depart to Amsterdam for dinner and a private boat cruise through the famous canals. We will also photograph a beautiful night scene of the lights reflecting in the canals.
