Description: |
Always a favourite for our
stag, hen and group parties Amsterdam is one of the greatest small cities in the world. A city of tolerance and diversity, Amsterdam is possibly most famous for its red light district and coffee shops (the coffee shops are legally allowed to sell small amounts not more than 5g per customer of cannabis, which you can smoke in the coffee shop) which are a real eye opener and not for the excessive compulsive. It has all the advantages of a big city culture, cool cafes, restaurants, pulsating nightlife, chilled locals and good transport - Thanks to its maze of meandering canals, has a little road traffic. Experience the canals by taking a short cruise; alternatively hire a bike to explore this vibrant city for an authentic Amsterdam experience.

just a quick email to say what a brilliant time we all had on the stag weekend in Shropshire. Everything was top class and both clay pigeon and quad biking was top class. The accommodation was first class as well. Many thanks.
