“It’s always a party here”
During the trip you will be amazed how silent the centre of a busy town can be. You might even see a newly-wed couple actually stepping into a wedding boat as you sail under the town hall. You’ll learn how ships transported their goods along the narrow waterways, how the town and the countryside are linked, how the unique Binnendieze has contributed to the layout of the town, and so much more: A day out in ‘s-Hertogenbosch is always a party for us, but this time it was something extra; we went on a boat tour of the Binnendieze with our guide and ‘captain’ Wim. {…} If you ever meet Wim, you are guaranteed an extra special trip. Lots of information at little cost.” it says ceremoniously in the guest book.
Unforgettable cultural and historical experience
In addition to the exclusivity of the top attractions such as the boat trip and climbing the cathedral tower, DagjeDenBosch also offers a boat trip on the River Dommel, various town walks and a guided tour of St. John’s. If required, this can be under the auspices of skilled and enthusiastic volunteers.
To make your DagjeDenBosch complete, the programme can be supplemented by delicious culinary breaks at catering establishments in ‘s-Hertogenbosch.
