day one (friday 28th july 2006)

After a brief introduction from our friendly and experienced coach driver and an Events2order Event Coordinator, our Luxury modern Executive Coaches will commence their journey to Rotterdam from various nation wide departure points early on day 1. The journey will be a comfortable one as all coaches used by Events2order are modern and include seatbelts, air conditioning, DVD/Video, toilet, curtains, reclining seats and hot & cold drinks dispenser.

After a brief ferry crossing we will arrive at your central Rotterdam 4 star hotel in the early afternoon and checkin will commence immediately. After checkin you will be able to familiarize yourself with the hotel facilities, before getting ready for a night of pure entertainment and fun at the Rotterdam Summer Carnival pre party Strand aan de Maas.

day two (saturday 29th july 2006)

After breakfast everyone is invited on an excursion to Amsterdam, Rotterdam's sister city about 40 minutes coach drive away. In amsterdam you'll be free to browse the many popular attractions such as the Heineken Experience, Diamond Center (Europe's largest) and of course not forgetting the Sex museum and Marijuana museum (yes believe it or not there is one!). We'll also have on hand a professional tour guide who will give you the facts about some of the common misconceptions about this famous city.

In the late afternoon you'll be returned to Rotterdam in plenty of time for where things will just be getting warmed up. On your approach to Rotterdam you'll be relieved to know that the distant drumming sound you could hear at breakfast was not imagined. It was in fact the sound of the drums being warmed up along Coolsingel in preparation for later on.

day three (sunday 30th july 2006)

Today is the climax of the Rotterdam Summer Carnival and the 5km street parade of floats, dancers and bands will be led by the newly elected carnival queen in all her glory. They'll also be live on stage acts in the centre of Rotterdam with bands and performers from all over the world. After there will be one big massive after party where you can expect music and partying to go on till the small hours of the morning.

So we would suggest that you start the morning off at a leisurely pace , taking the time to enjoy relaxing in your hotel and making the most of the facilities before a late breakfast or brunch then getting ready for a day and night of serious partying.

day four (monday 31st july 2006)

If you were out partying last night and didn't get any sleep then not to worry, because today after a late breakfast we'll be leaving Rotterdam for the journey home and you'll be able to catch up on sleep during the journey.

But don't forget on route we'll be making a number of stops at places like the Belgian Chocolate Factory and a hypermarket, great places for buying gifts and souvenirs for those you left back home. Along with a number of bargains to be had on familiar UK products and brands at up to 60% less. All before you arrive back at your original UK departure points in the early evening.
