Travel & Tourism student trips to Amsterdam
Amsterdam is unique, tolerant and vibrant. Ranked as one of the top 25 safest cities, it is easy to navigate and has a wealth of museums, galleries and picturesque streets. It is a premier tourist destination and an ideal city for Travel and Tourism students to visit on an educational trip.
A canal cruise is the best way to get an overall perspective on Amsterdam, its history, its layout and its attractions. Gently gliding through the centre of the city you will see the tightly-packed towering warehouses and magnificent merchant’s houses that were built during the 17th century, the Dutch “Golden Age”.
Other excursions offered by Equity include visits to De Efteling Theme Park, Duinrell Amusement Park and Madame Tussauds, in order to see how different tourist attractions function, and the challenges they face in a highly competitive leisure market.
